1 Maximizing Network Opportunities March 22, 2018

2 Our vision Better cost controls CREATE networks tailored to each market s unique needs and competitive cost structure HEALT H TRIPLE AIM Better experience CONNECT individuals with tools and information to engage them in finding the right providers and the right care Maximizing new market opportunities to make health care more affordable are foundational to helping our members live healthier lives. Better health COLLABORATE with providers to share data and insights to support consistent, high-quality clinical outcomes

3 The move to value-based care Current (traditional) care ACO (value-based) care Fee for Service provider payment Lack of technology and incentives for physicians to proactively coordinate patient care Data and analytics are not routinely shared Care delivery Care coordination Data and information Pay for Value and increased risk sharing Physicians empowered by technology, data and access to UnitedHealthcare programs Analytics provide a full picture of a member s health risks, care and enhance efficiency Costs climb without corresponding health improvements Costs New shared focus with care providers to manage health care costs and quality Complicated health care system confuses and frustrates members Member experience ACO providers provide trusted support in navigating the system

4 The Value-Based Care Spectrum Fee for Service Performance-Based Bundled Payments Accountable Care Programs Level of Financial Risk Degree of Clinical Integration Pay for volume Performance-based contracts Primary Care incentives Episode-based payments Accountable Care Organizations Capitation Sharing savings and/or risk

5 The Move to Value-Based Care How do we advance health care through a new kind of relationship with providers? $36.8B $45.6B $64.5B $12.1 $16.5 $22.2 $23.2 $27.3 $31.9 $2.5 $5.9 $5.3 Performance-based Condition-specific/Bundled payments Accountable care

Customer level potential savings of High Value Networks will be a function of plan design, geographic mix, service mix, the proportion of total spend currently associated with non-tier 1 providers, and the extent to which that current spend is redirected to Tier 1 providers. Savings estimates relate to UnitedHealthcare s book-of-business results. All figures and estimated savings represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future savings. Meaningful benefit design differentials needed to achieve the upper bound of savings. Quality and cost-efficiency based on national standards and local benchmarks. (As of May, 2016) Local
