Strategy& | PwC
The reform conversation has shifted to “rebrand & retreat,” maintaining the overall contours of the current landscape
2
Focus of reform is on reducing Federal expenditures & deregulating health insurance
Fundamental trajectory of the market remains unaltered as a result of reform; expect more significant changes to payment and delivery landscape through administrative changes
Potential reform elements & impacts

The Individual market and moves to shift risk to providers will be most acutely impacted by potential likely reforms…
3
Medicare Reforms
Group Reforms
Medicaid Reforms
Individual Reforms
Administrative Reforms
Move to per capita funding of Medicaid and reduce Federal funding and/or eligibility of expansion population; achieves budget savings although may be rolled-back in long-term
• Devolve eligibility standards & product/benefit to states; creates greater variation
• Eliminate ACA-supported demonstration programs
• Improve reimbursement to Medicare Advantage plans
Move from subsidies to tax credits; may expand market size
• Shut down or de-prioritize Exchanges; allow subsidies off-Exchange
Create high risk pools & expand rating bands
Replace individual mandate (effectively) with need to maintain continuous coverage
Relax Minimum Essential Benefits & product standardization; offers more flexibility in plan design
Eliminate employer mandate (effectively); virtually no change in coverage
• Relax plan standards & offer more flexibility in plan design
Advantage HSAs; increased opportunity for HSA vendors & related solutions
• Weaken Medicare value-based care and accountable care pilots; disrupt trend towards provider risk-taking
• Eliminate mandatory provider payment reforms
• Restrict demonstration programs from The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation
• Weaken enforcement of Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) minimums for insurers; short-term opportunity for plans to increase profitability in select states
Moderate impact; fundamental
changes to funding, but limited political
will to reduce coverage
Limited impact; expect future
reforms transitioning to
managed care for all (2021-2025)
Significant impact; move from non-
functional market to less regulated
iteration with more covered lives
Limited impact; impacts will fall at
margins (especially in Small Group)
Significant impact; Pull back of push to
value-based care and other pilots;
relaxing of Federal accountability

…while the overarching trajectory of the each health insurance market segment remains unaltered
4
Medicaid nears natural ceiling;managed care opportunity matures
Medicare expands as nation ages; look for potential MA catalyst
Individual grows slowly & uncertainly;market moves towards stability
Group holds with offsetting factors;self-funding ticks higher
• Minimal growth in employment offsets modest employer exit from employer-sponsored insurance
• Trend towards self-funding continues as mandates, taxes, and fees creates economic incentive
Share capture focus for growth as markets become more competitive. Winners will leverage provider partnerships
to control spend while maintaining choice in offerings
• 24% of Americans covered limiting future growth; political pressure to not eliminate coverage as part of reform
• Private managed care nearing 75% of all lives; remaining populations are highly complex or rural
• Devolution of eligibility & benefits standards to states
Growth becomes more challenging as greenfield opportunities shrink. Look for more M&A to expand
footprint, gain scale, and acquire capabilities
• 3.5 million Americans turn 65 every year; fiscal challenges just beginning to enter national dialogue
• MA penetration continues to grow (~40%) with potential for “MA for All” in medium term, accelerated by new Administration’s belief in private sector solutions
Plans investing to win long-term in Medicare with favorable demographics & economics. MedEx control
critical given opportunity for significant losses
• Reforms focus on “fixes” with eye to restructuring for long-term stability – erosion of Essential Benefits & addition of reinsurance/high risk pools lower premium levels
• Marketplaces at risk (some state holdouts) to be replaced with tax credits; move towards Off Exchange enrollment
After transition, smaller (premium), larger (membership), and more profitable segment. Value pricing remains
critical with long-term view towards risk capture/reporting
Reform Opportunity

Reform will accentuate a number of opportunities across the health services landscape

• Plan Selection SupportErosion of standardized plan design, with disparate options, drives need for guidance, including tools for individuals & brokers
• Healthcare Service Support - Cost & Treatment Move to greater financial responsibility (across more cost sensitive groups) incents use of tools to better manage financial exposure
• Funding & Contribution ManagementUse of savings vehicles, contributions, and incentives to fund long-term health expenses, including across populations with limited financial system exposure
• Payment AdministrationNeed for automated solutions to collect & manage individual financial responsibility

Given the politics of reform, the growing potential exists that meaningful legislation is unable to pass
6
Reform Opportunity
Health policy is complicated…and achieving politically tenable compromise not easy.
Expenditure Considerations
Market Considerations
Other Policy Considerations(Tax Reform)
Revenue Considerations
Political Considerations
Coverage Considerations
In the absence of legislative action on healthcare:
Look NorthChallenges will continue in Individual markets without sufficient scale to support a diverse risk poolState intervention will be required to ensure functioning markets; Alaska’s assessment on all insurers helped to maintain a functioning individual market and limited rate increases
Fixes may be delayed until after the next electoral cycle when market fundamentals & politics may convergePotential compromises on Individual fixes & constraining health expenditure growth may suffer from politicization of health; more transformational changes to Medicare pushed further in the future
Look OutLook InAdministrative actions will look to maintain base levels of market support while advancing policy goalsExpect HHS/CMS to quickly grant significant flexibility in benefit and plan designs in individual & Medicaid, limit enforcement of mandates and rules, and ACA-mandated pilot programs
Strategy& | PwC
Irrespective of reform, the payer business remains challenged, with margin pressure & limited avenues for organic growth
7
• With payers controlling flow of funds, benefitting from government-mandated purchase, and offering products and services relatively unchanged over time, market interest increasing with challengers looking to capture profitable share
• Given constraints around profitability, risk-based capital requirements, and high barriers to entry, numerous challengers will look to make a play in the payer market, yet most will either fail outright (such as the CO-OPs) or retrench to niche, sub-scale positions with limited broad market impact
• Through 2025, only MA posts above-population growth with greater managed care. Medicaid grows modestly but gains in managed care flatten
• Individual market will grow with reform from small base, but not be outsized contributor to overall financial performance; Group market flat and stagnant
• Heightened local market competition as growth outside MA will be largely reliant on share gains; inorganic growth continues to be pathway of least resistance
• Consolidation and commodity-like status of health insurance product and network will force long-term erosion of margins, outside players with significant scale or differentiated health management capabilities
• State regulators look to step into Federal gap and exert greater influence over rates, networks, and insurer conduct/profitability, including rate approvals and more defined standards on network adequacy
Limited options for growth outside of
Medicare Advantage–focus on deals & share
capture
Market dynamics & regulators constrain profitability – need to
look for emerging diversification plays
Increased challengers look to disrupt -
many (most?) will fail

Macro TrendsReform Opportunity
Strategy& | PwC
With or without reform, opportunities exist around macro industry growth drivers & trends across several core theses
8
Follow the Government as a payor Create the services & infrastructure platforms of the future
Roll-up sub-scale Medicaid assets
Place bets on Medicare Advantage
Address the needs of the most
medically needy
Enable and optimize revenue & risk
capture• 73% of Medicaid
beneficiaries are in a private managed care plan, up from 50% four years ago
• Across all lines of business, Medicaid, with the tightest margins, would to benefit the most from administrative scale
• Yet, Medicaid remains the least concentrated line of business; average plan has only 155,000 members
• New regulations driving greater standardization of Medicaid supports rolling-up sub-scale assets
• ~4 million Americans age in to Medicare each year
• Political tailwinds, fiscal challenges, & solvency concerns will advantage managed care
• Independently, Medicare Advantage continues to grow at a far faster rate than overall Medicare, posting a ~9% CAGR over the past five years
• High reimbursement rates & opportunities to drive cost savings allow for premium valuations for MA plans
• With a majority of Americans insured in markets where payer revenue is risk-adjusted, services & solutions to appropriately identify and track member risk profiles is becoming increasingly critical to financial performance
• Aside from enhanced revenue through risk adjustment benefits, more optimal stratification of members is possible, leading to more targeted interventions and successful outcomes
• Disproportionate spend is on members with multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health challenges, and/or receiving long-term services/supports
• Payers are increasingly focusing on such groups, as the upside from better managing the highest acuity members becomes clear
• Given the specialization & complexity involved, plans are turning to outsourced solutions, including risk arrangements
Own the overlooked spaces of health
• The significant scope of health & resulting spend creates opportunities in areas traditionally over-looked by the market, both emerging categories of service & (relatively) low dollar mandates
• With the continued focus on spend and a greater willingness to explore new arrangements, focused solution opportunities exist in such areas as specialty pharmacy, infertility, and non-emergency transportation

Enable growth through selective
market expansion, accentuated by Deals
Expand portfolio of non-regulated & less-
regulated service offerings
Export capabilities, experience, and competencies to global markets
With limited options for growth, a increasingly onerous regulatory environment, and enhanced competitive landscape and new challengers, how should payers and related health
services businesses look to drive profitable growth in the future?

• Universal coverage through employer mandate• Requirement to have health insurance, with
foreign health insurers in market (including Aetna)
• Public insurer for government workers & indigent
• Public health insurance, Medicare, covers most residents; individuals encouraged to purchase private insurance with subsidies – nearly 50% do
• Government recently privatized Medibank, the largest health insurer in Australia & New Zealand
• National Health Insurance scheme provides basic coverage to all citizens
• Private insurers, including Cigna, offer supplementary coverage which is increasingly important to cover key gaps in NHI
• Robust private insurance market (26% of population), as universal coverage provided by government offers sub-standard care/benefits
• UnitedHealth entered via acquisition of largest player, Amil, offering integrated care
• Launched NHI with goal of universal coverage; private insurers able to participate in program
• Private insurance available as an alternative to NHI; insurers (such as Cigna) cover roughly 10% of population (more affluent)
• Universal public insurance in 1995 with access to public clinics and health services
• Private, voluntary health insurance covers private providers/additional benefits
• Private plans must be network-based MCOs
• Well established private market for those able to pay, giving access to private services. 16% of population purchase through brokers or Groups
• Government in-process of launching National Health Insurance (over 14 years)
• National health insurance programs turning to private sector (including Centene) for integrated care models
• Relatively small (roughly 13% of population in 2010) yet growing private insurance contingency

A number of entities have entered the health plan space aiming to disrupt established practices, with mixed results…
Macro Trends
We did it to burn a lot of money, actually.
A more appropriate marketing message for “disruptor” health plans?
• Valued at $1BN, Clover claims to be “reinventing the health insurance model by integrating technology,” the company is focused on MA
• Focusing first on New Jersey, Clover has signed up 18,000 members, while posting $35 million in losses in 2016 and an effective Medical Loss Ratio of 104%
• Backed by a variety of marquee investors, Oscar was founded in 2012 aiming to simplify insurance, with a focus on individual in New York, amplified by catchy marketing
• Following expansion into California, New Jersey, and Texas, Oscar has yet to demonstrate a pathway to profitability in any market, posting hundreds of millions in losses
• Founded by UnitedHealthcare in 2014, the plan is built around 11 primary care centers in Chicago and Atlanta, in partnership with Iora Health, offering unlimited free visits
• Playing in the Individual & Group market, in 2016 the plan reported ~35,000 members with a pre-tax loss of $115 million, up from $72 million in the prior year

As the most established new entrant, Oscar may be a case study in just how challenging it can be to gain traction

support market launches
After a year, they have exited New Jersey (their
most “profitable” market) & Dallas

• Oscar’s lost $205MM in 2016, an acceleration from the $122MM in losses in 2015. Oscar’s underwriting margin in 2016 was -43%, with losses of $129 PMPM
• The company ended 2016 with 108,000 members & is poised to start 2017 with only 87,000 members
• Consolidated MLR was 112%, with an admin ratio of 31%. In California, SG&A was 211% of premium, with spending of $425 per member on marketing alone in 2016
• The business model has moved repeatedly from ER diversion, to experience, to technology, to small group, to …

Key Trends• Stagnant membership growth in the group market:
while current group enrollment stands at 154 million members, it is expected to reach just 155 million members by 2025
• Small Group expansion: certain states, such as New York and California, will expand the definition of “Small Group” to include firms with 51-100 employees (the previous range was 1-50)
• Stagnant rates of self funding: for both small companies and large companies, self funding rates have held relatively constant since 2010
• Different MLR requirements: Large group plans are required to spend 85% of premiums on medical expenses; for small group, the figure is 80%

Employer-sponsored healthcare can take the form of either a fully insured or self-funded arrangement
41
Fully Insured – 43% of covered lives(Insurer pays claims)
Self-Funded – 57% of covered lives(Employer pays claims)
• Insurer administers plan including paying claims, performing medical management, and contracting a network
• Insurer sets premiums and takes risk around losses. If claims greater than premiums, insurer posts loss
• Premiums subject to state premium tax (~3% in most states)
• Governed under state laws
• Nearly all individual and small group (<50 employees) fully insured
• Insurer or TPA (Third Party Administrator) administers plan including paying claims, performing medical management, and contracting a network
• Insurer or TPA charges a monthly administration fee per member
• Sponsor assumes risk that medical claims exceed “premiums”
• Sponsors may purchase stop-loss reinsurance to protect against adverse claims
• Governed under ERISA (DOL); pre-empts state laws
• No premium tax
• Nearly all large groups (>1000 employees) self-funded
