23 To: KHS Finance Committee From: Richard Pruitt, Chief Information Officer Date: December 5, 2014 Re: Core System Update Background On September 10, 2014 the Board of Directors authorized KHS to enter into a contract with TriZetto, Inc. for a new core software system. Additionally, the Board authorized the Chief Executive Officer, Doug Hayward, to enter into core system related purchases and contracts, over $30K, with software, hardware, and consulting services in the amount not to exceed $2,026,522 for retrospective review by the Board of Directors due to timing in order to mitigate any delays with the project. TriZetto, Inc. and KHS have kicked off the project as of November 3, 2014 and the TriZetto QNXT software and license keys are installed on KHS systems. KHS has entered into two contracts/purchases that are listed on today s agenda and are related to the core system purchase: 1. Dell (Item 8) 2.

43 To: KHS Finance Committee From: Robert Landis, CFO Date: December 5, 2014 Re: Proposed Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. Reinsurance Renewal Annual renewal of the reinsurance policy Background KHS has purchased a reinsurance policy to mitigate the costs of catastrophic cases since the plan s inception. The KHS population has changed significantly over the last 3 years with SPD members incurring high medical costs. This increase in medical costs has led to higher reinsurance premiums over the years. Discussion Over the last 3 years KHS has recovered more in reinsurance claims than it has paid in premiums. For the policy years 2012 and 2013 KHS recovered approximately $3.0 million in reinsurance claims while paying premiums of approximately $2.0 million. Based on information through October 2014, KHS will already have received approximately $1.7 million in recoveries against approximately $1.2 million in premiums paid. These 3 years represent a 147% ratio of recoveries to expense. Based on this information, continuing with the reinsurance program is warranted. Fiscal Impact The lowest quote for renewal is with Munich RE at a blended rate of $ $1.38 PMPM with the current deductible of $125,000 per member and $.20 pmpm self-insured retention. KHS can lower the premium to a blended rate of $.73 PMPM by increasing the deductible to $175,000. This would save approximately $1,508,000 of reinsurance premiums, but would cost KHS an additional $50,000 per member that reaches the reinsurance deductible. The savings of $1,508,000 would be lost if the members reaching the $175,000 deductible exceeds 30 ($1,508,000 savings/$50,000 increase in deductible = 30). Based on utilization data of 24 members in 2013 and 22 members through September 2014, management expects the 2015 utilization to be less than 30 members. The 2015 Budget includes estimated reinsurance premium payments at a blended rate of $.73 PMPM and reinsurance recoveries at a blended rate of $.73 PMPM. Estimated fiscal dollar impact is $1,683,732. Risk Assessment Based on the last 3 program years, the continued expense of the SPD population, management believes that binding coverage is warranted for 2015 and is recommending the Munich RE option at a blended rate of $.73 PMPM and increasing the deductible at $175,000. Requested Action Approve; Refer to KHS Board of Directors 43 / 90

45 To: KHS Finance Committee From: Robert Landis, CFO Date: December 5, 2014 Re: 2015 Budget Background The 2015 budget supports the KHS Goals and Objectives, Annual Projects and Strategic Plan Initiatives. The size and scope of the 2015 Goals and Objectives reflect the changing complexity that began in 2012 with the addition of the SPD population and continued in 2014 with the Childless Adults. During 2014 KHS successfully implemented the growth associated with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. During 2015 KHS will be required to expand benefits and services along with the increased administrative responsibilities associated with our expanded role under State and Federal programs. Specifically, key factors (to name a few) impacting the 2015 budget includes: Projected growth of approximately 15,000 enrollees Multi-Government regulatory and organization compliance and performance responsibilities through: o DHCS o DMHC o Covered California o CMS Benefits and Program expansion into Autism treatment Benefits and Program expansion in Mental Health Implementation of ICD- 10 Continued implementation and monitoring of: o New Core System o Access to PCP and Specialty Care as well as Physician recruitment o HEP C medication and kick payment program o Kaiser Permanente Subcontract o KHS ER Diversion Grants and results achieved from grants o Onsite Care Management (Replacement of McKesson) 45 / 90

46 New and expanded provider collaborative programs. o Developing KMC Integration Health Care Concept o Creating a Diabetic Clinic site at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital and KMC o Expanding the Transitional Care Program to additional hospitals with a critical mass of patients o Increasing participation in the Hep C Program o Expanding TeleHealth Specialty Care services o Expanding the Disease Management Program o Instituting an Asthma Case Management Pilot Program o Enhancements to the Medical Management and Quality Improvement Programs o Expanding Auto Authorizations o Enhancing the Care Management Program o Expanding on site concurrent review program o Continuing with incentives to reward providers who demonstrate improved HEDIS outcomes o Instituting Medication Therapy Management program Increase in staffing requirements primarily in the following departments: o Information Technology Department requires 3 FTE s to accommodate the increased KHS staff and server infrastructure that has occurred along with support for desktop and system issues. Additionally, there is an increased demand for regulatory and company data analytics and reporting. o Claims requires 2 FTE s to keep up with the increased claim volume so that KHS can meet its regulatory requirement of processing 90% of all claims within 30 days as well as maintaining the auditing process for quality and accuracy of claim payments. o Utilization Management requires 2 FTE s to effectively case manage complex members due to an increase in membership along with an expected increase in high risk members being identified from the predictive model stratification. o Quality Improvement requires 2 FTE s to accommodate bringing HEDIS medical records retrieval in-house instead of using an outside vendor. During HEDIS 2014, our outside vendor did not meet the terms of the contract. The cost of insourcing this service is comparable to the cost of contracting with another vendor. The FTE s will also be able to assist in developing and spreading interventions aimed at improving HEDIS performance. o Health Education requires 2 new FTE s. Our member growth will require KHS to expand the number of Health Education classes and training activities. 1 FTE will conduct additional member health education classes required by the State on subject matters including: Nutrition, Asthma etc. A second FTE will serve as KHS s Cultural and Linguistics staff person. This position is responsible for ensuring all member correspondences and outreach materials are culturally competent and 46 / 90

47 linguistically appropriate for our non- English speaking population. Additionally, this person will oversee other DHCS mandated programs including tobacco cessation education and Staying Healthy Assessment Provider Training Programs. o Member Services requires 5 FTE s to keep up with the increased call volume so that KHS can meet its internal goals to answer all calls within 30 seconds, have an abandonment rate of 5% or less, have hold times of less than 2 minutes on 98 % of all calls and have at least 90% of all grievances closed in 30 days. Attached are the following documents relating to the 2015 Budget: 1) Consolidated Operating Budget 2) Operating Budget by Aid Category 3) Enrollment Assumptions 4) Revenue Assumptions 5) Medical Expense Assumptions 6) Administrative Expense Assumptions 7) Budgeted FTE by Department 8) Capital Budget for 2015 Requested Action Approve; Refer to KHS Board of Directors 47 / 90

63 To: KHS Finance Committee From: Robert Landis, CFO Date: December 5, 2014 Re: October 2014 Financial Results The October results reflect a $1,061,000 profit which is a $333,000 favorable variance to the budget. Listed below are the major variances for the month: 1) Total Revenues reflect a $5.5 million favorable variance primarily due to: A) $3.1 million favorable variance relating to Family and Other primarily due to higher than expected Family and Other enrollment ($ 2.0 million), higher than expected maternity revenue ( $.2 million) and a non-budgeted rate increase from the State effective July 1, 2014 ($.6 million). B) $1.8 million unfavorable variance relating to Expansion membership due to lower than expected enrollment ($.8 million) and a non-budgeted rate decrease from the State effective July 1, 2014 ($1.0 million). C) $2.7 million favorable variance relating to higher than expected SPD enrollment ($1.1 million), a non-budgeted rate increase from the State effective July 1, 2014 ($1.1 million) and 2014 calendar year retroactive payments of $.5 million. D) $.6 million favorable variance relating to Rate/Income Adjustments relating primarily to 2013 calendar year retroactive payments for SPD members. 2) Total Medical Costs reflect a $5.0 million unfavorable variance primarily due to: A) $.6 million favorable variance for Other Professional Services due primarily to lower than expected mental health utilization. B) $1.1 million unfavorable variance in Other Medical due primarily due to greater usage of observation rooms, higher utilization of Skilled Nursing Facilities as appropriate which is approximately 1/3 the cost of a hospital day. C) $4.5 million unfavorable variance for Expansion Risk Expense due to lower than expected medical expense utilization for the Expansion membership population. The results for the 10 months ended October 31, 2014 reflect a net loss of $46,000. This is a $956,000 favorable variance to budget and includes approximately $ 3.7 million of favorable adjustments from the prior year and $.9 million of unbudgeted Grant Expenses for the current year. The Medical Loss Ratio is 93.7% which is favorable to the 93.8% budgeted amount. The Administrative Expense Ratio is 6.0% which is favorable to the 6.6% budgeted amount. 63 / 90
