Drug Spending Recent reports have projected drug spending in the United States to grow to $560 billion $590 billion by 2020, up from $337 billion in 2015. Much of this growth will be fueled by the growing number of high-priced, specialty drugs coming to the market an estimated 225 new specialty drugs over the next five years. While specialty drugs account for less than 2 percent of all prescriptions, they make up roughly 30 percent of spending on all prescription drugs. Almost half (47.8 percent) of the specialty drugs included in this analysis cost more than $100,000 per patient per year. A number of ongoing state and federal efforts are developing to address the significant challenges of high- priced drugs; and in support of these measures, this report attempts to quantify the annual per-patient expenditures for an initial sample of 150 specialty medications. 12 12

Quality-In-Sights : Hospital Incentive Program (Q-HIP ) Aligns hospital reimbursement with safer and higher quality health care for consumers Measured by nationally vetted and recognized evidence-based indicators developed by organizations such as: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services / Joint Commission National Quality Forum The American College of Cardiology and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Today almost 800 hospitals in Anthem s commercial markets participate in Q- HIP on an at-risk basis, representing >76% of Anthem s annual inpatient admissions. Input from National Advisory Panel on Value Solutions Representatives from health systems and academic medical centers from across the country Acts in an advisory capacity Feedback used to promote Q-HIP alignment with hospital priorities 17 17
Q-HIP Scorecard How it Works (Virginia specific) The scorecard is based off of a 100 point scale, with up to 5 additional bonus points available. If a measure on the scorecard is deemed invalid for any reason (service not offered or low volume), the associated points will re-weight across the remaining measures on the scorecard. Scorecard Section Patient Safety Health Outcomes Member Satisfaction Base Section Weight 27 pts 61 pts 12 pts Q-HIP Score 0 54.99 Points 55 89.99 Points 90+ Points % of Increase Earned No increase earned Partial increase earned 100% of increase earned Points are earned in a stepwise fashion, with between 30% to 100% of the at-risk increase earned based on progressively better score performance. The scale provided to the left reflects an example scale and is not the actual scale used in all markets. 18 18
Payment Methodology 1-3% is the typical range of at-risk increase across Anthem >$500M Incentive Format Any increases earned based on Q- HIP performance are paid out of a goforward 12 month time period.

American Health Care Act Because reconciliation must deal with Federal spending, most of the insurance market requirements imposed by ACA remain. Eliminates the employer and individual mandates by zeroing out the penalties beginning in taxable year 2016. Creates funding for high risk pools Authorizes insurers to charge a 30% premium penalty for individuals who lacked insurance for longer than 63 days in the preceding 12-month period. Repeals the ACA s Premium Assistance Tax Credits and implements new age-adjusted, advanceable and refundable tax credits. Continues Medicaid expansion through 2019, but phases out enhanced Federal funding thereafter. 27 27
