How UHCCP is guiding members to high value providers Provider Recommendation Engine (PRE) •

How UHCCP is guiding members to high value providers Provider Recommendation Engine (PRE) • A data tool that provides PCP recommendations to member services, support staff and UHCCP claims platform • PRE uses predetermined logic, based on quality and utilization, to offer recommendations while taking into consideration location, age, gender, family history, and claims history to recommend Primary Care Providers. • PRE also utilizes claims history to recommend PCPs, based on any known, prior activity. This feature enables us to more accurately assign a member to a PCP he/she has seen before. • PRE has logic to drive PCP assignments based upon provider tiers. In combination with network development efforts, PRE usually can assign to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 provider (highest quality and cost effectiveness) • PRE was implemented May 2015 • Members always retain freedom of choice and can change their PCP after assignment.

Steering members to ‘Integrated’ providers, ACCs, VBCs and/or Centers of Excellence Additional efforts taken

Steering members to ‘Integrated’ providers, ACCs, VBCs and/or Centers of Excellence Additional efforts taken to guide members to collaborative partners: Ø ACC (Accountable Care Communities) and IC partners = Tier 1 Ø ACC & IC partners = Value Based Contracts Ø Selective Member Geographic Reassignment: o Example: For an IC, UHCCP identifies members who appear disengaged from the delivery system (not seeing assigned PCP, or any PCP). We then use up to 3 years claims information + blind spot data + predictive modeling to reassign members with greater than average BH risk to the Integrated Clinic close by. The IC collaborates by actively outreaching and engaging members into care. o Example: For a PCP COE (Hemophilia) – Similar process, however UHCCP identifies members with a select medical diagnosis and who may benefit from a PCP with unique clinical expertise. *Members always retain their choice of PCP and can select a different PCP 12 Confidential Property of United.

Balancing Act: Guiding to high value providers & ensuring adequate networks for all members

Balancing Act: Guiding to high value providers & ensuring adequate networks for all members • UHCCP is continually reevaluating our network based on key elements: Provider composition; Utilization; Geographic distribution; Quality; Efficiency; Engagement level; Clinical expertise; Member needs and/or identified gaps; Participation in clinical accountability initiatives (ACOs); and more… • It is not feasible to ensure that every member has access to a provider(s) categorized today as ‘high-value’; however this in no way can mean that members do not, or should not, have access to providers who are properly credentialed, audited, educated and targeted for improvement. • In these efforts, UHCCP must be attentive and respectful of member choice, based on a host of factors (personal needs, preferences, beliefs, primary language, culture, etc. ) 13 Confidential Property of United.

An opportunity UHCCP has discovered in the process… Assignment and Attribution In an ongoing

An opportunity UHCCP has discovered in the process… Assignment and Attribution In an ongoing effort to ensure access to care, improve quality and minimize provider payment disruptions, members are assigned to PCPs, but not ‘locked-in’ to a PCP. UHCCP recognizes this network design choice results in a degree of member/PCP misalignment (i. e. Assignment-Attribution mismatch). This impacts our net effort to guide and keep members properly assigned to ‘high-value’ providers and it impacts our collaborative efforts and programs with providers to maximally impact populations with greater accountability. Data demonstrates that members who are unaligned with the correct assigned PCP, demonstrate worse utilization and quality outcomes. 14 Confidential Property of United. Health Group.

An opportunity UHCCP has discovered in the process… Next Steps: • Ensure attribution models

An opportunity UHCCP has discovered in the process… Next Steps: • Ensure attribution models and available data most accurately identifies the most accurate PCP for each member; • Select partners with whom we can test and refine a process of periodic member-PCP ‘realignment’ efforts; • Be attentive to the potential impact to members, health plan and practice partner, including but not limited to: ensuing member choice; administrative impact; internal education and communications; accountable care provider data reporting and value based contracts; d. SNP/Medicaid PCP matching; etc. • Once pilot realignment completed, make changes based on lessons learned and extend the effort across the network 15 Confidential Property of United. Health Group.
