Two Years Ago …• Blue Cross & Advocate/APP Faced 2 Choices:
– Lower Unit Cost Now– Partner Together/Reduce Waste
• Employers Demanding Change Even If Reform Overturned– “Unstoppable Market Force Unleashed”
• Prepares Us for ACOs in 2012• First Mover Advantage• Better Patient Care Fulfills 2020 Vision
11
What Results Have We Seen?• 4.2 % HMO Membership Growth in Last Year
– Added Blue Advantage HMO in 2011
• APP Physician Membership Growth– 208 Total; 37 PCPs
• Blue Cross PPO Shared Savings Trends Are 4.6% Positive Thru Q3 2011
• $13 M Shared Savings in 2011 Payout• $6.4 M HMO Full Risk Earned Funds in 2011

APP’s New Approaches to Medicare
Planned Participation in 2 Models
• Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP)– Program for Accountable Care Organizations
(ACOs) Established in Health Reform Act
– Start Date: July 1, 2012
• Medicare Advantage HMO– New Opportunity with Blue Cross
– Targeting “Age In” Population
– Start Date: January 1, 2013
14
What Is the Medicare Shared Savings Program?
What MSSP Isn’t . . .• MSSP Is Not a Bundled Payment Program
• MSSP Is Not a Capitated Payment Program
• All Physicians and Hospitals Continue To Submit Fee-for-Service Bills To Medicare
• All Physicians and Hospitals Continue To Be Paid by Medicare Using the Medicare Fee Schedule– None of the FFS Payments Are Sent To APP
16
APP’s MSSP Details• 3½ Year Contract Starting July 1, 2012
• No Downside (Repayment) Risk
• Up to 50% Share of Savings Based on Quality Score– 33 Quality Measures in 4 Domains
– Pay-for-Performance Phased in Over 3 Years
• 125,000 Medicare Beneficiaries
• $1.5 Billion Annual Medical Expenses
• Estimated 50% of Spend “In Network”
17
Why Participate in MSSP?• Better Overall Care for Patients
• Aligns with Advocate 2020 Strategy and Vision to Develop Lifelong Relationships with Patients
• Extension of Clinical Integration Program
• Helps Transition to One Model of Care– Gets Us to Critical Mass
– Prepares Us for Emerging Opportunities
18
What’s In It For Physicians?• Improved Coordination of Care Benefits Your
Patients• A Percentage Point Improvement In Total
Cost Will Increase APP Incentive Pool by About $6 Million– 1% of $1.5 Billion Annual Spend on 125,000
Medicare Beneficiaries Is $15 Million– APP Receives 50% of Savings Multiplied by
Quality Score– $6 Million If Quality Score Averages 80%
19
Blue CrossMedicare AdvantageContract
Medicare Advantage Opportunity• Blue Cross Planning Medicare Advantage• BC Has Large Share of Medicare Supplement
Market• Targeting Younger Medicare Population (~66)
– Interest In Capturing “Age In” Market• BC Application Submitted to CMS In February• Required Binding Commitment of Provider
Network• APP Would Be Central to Network, But Others
Necessary to Satisfy CMS’ Geo Access Requirements
21
APP Board Approved Blue Cross Medicare Advantage
• Start Date of January 1, 2013• Global Risk Arrangement• Responsibilities Delegated to APP
– Utilization Management– Credentialing– Part B Claims Payment
• Counties Included: Cook, DuPage, Kane & Will
• Counties Excluded: Lake, Kendall, McHenry, McLean
22
In-Network Care Coordination
Why Is “In-Network Care” Important?
Keeping Care in APP Network Is Good for
Patients, Good For Doctors & Good for Advocate
24
Good for Patients…
Care Managers Assist Patients
• Outpatient CM for Complex Patients
• Inpatient CM for All Hospitalized Patients
• Transition Coaches After Discharge to Assure Follow Up with Physicians & Avoid Readmissions
25
Good for Quality Improvement
• Internal Transparency of APP Allows Doctors to Share Performance with Colleagues
• Which Can Lead to:
– Mutual Efforts to Improve Performance
– Opportunities to Change Referral Patterns Based on Data, Not Hunch
• Clinical & Patient Experience Data Is Not Available from “Out-of-Network” Providers
26
Good for Financial Performance• Contracts Represent Over 60% of All Physician
Billings BCBS PPO, BCBS HMO, MSSP & MA
• Admissions and ER Visits Outside of Advocate Lead to Uncontrolled Care & Expenditures
• Physician Care Outside of APP Leads to Uncontrolled and, Often, Undocumented Care, Testing & Expenditures
• Out-of-Network Care Compromises Patient Care & Reduces Shared Savings
27
In-Network Care Incentives• Counseling Patients About In Network Care
Takes Physician Time
• 2 New Incentives and 1 Established Incentive Encourage In Network Care1. % of Hospital Days In-Network
2. SCIP Performance and Increase of In-Network Inpatient Surgical Cases
• Current: Inpatient Performance Incentive
28

• Attributed APP PPO Patients Measured
• Weighted at 5% of the Total CI Score
• Tiered Points Allotted: 6% Improvement Over Baseline (Top Tier)
4% Improvement Over Baseline (Mid Tier)
2% Improvement Over Baseline (Lower Tier)
Increase in In-Network Inpatient Surgical Care If SCIP Achieved
• SCIP Performance Targets Must Be Achieved• Measures % Improvement Over Baseline in Inpatient
Surgical Cases• Eligible Specialties: Cardiovascular, Thoracic, Vascular,
Colorectal, General Surgery, Orthopedics, and OB/Gyn • Weighted at 5% of the Total CI Score• Tiered Point Allocation:

31
What Do You Need to Do?
What Should Physicians Do?• Sign New Physician Participation Agreement
• Sign New Business Associate Agreement
• Work with APP to Collect Names & Addresses of Medicare Beneficiaries
• Work with APP To Facilitate Medicare Claims Data Sharing:– APP Required To Send Patient Letter Allowing
Them Not To Share Medicare Claims Data
– APP Would Like Patients To Allow Data Sharing To Assist in Improving Patient Care
33
Focus on AdvocateCare
AdvocateCare Index
• ED Visits/1000
• Admits/1000
• Length of Stay
• 30-Day Readmissions

• “The organization and support from the dedicated APP teams has made the transition to SynAPPs much more manageable than we had feared. People like Renee Witthoff have been invaluable in organizing our training, looking out for our best interests in dealing with any problems as they occurred. From initial introductions to the software, hardware upgrading, training and implementation, and now meaningful use, the experience and help of the various SynAPPs teams has been of great help during this process.”
~ Dr. Frederick Locher
