4 Open referrals Since the introduction of the NHS Choose and Book system, we ve seen a steady increase in the number of people receiving open referrals from their GPs: recommendations for more investigation or treatment, without actually naming a hospital or a specialist. How GuideWell benefits members At Aviva UK Health, we ve developed a specialist finder database combining our own claims experience with external data to select an appropriate specialist and hospital in the member s chosen area. The advantage of using an open referral claims pathway, is that there s no need for hospital lists. We take care of the onward journey on the member s behalf, reducing the stress involved and increasing the efficiency of the handover. Members can decide whether they would prefer treatment at a hospital located near their work or home address whichever is more convenient We aim to offer a specialist working within a 25 mile radius of that location (10 miles within London) On average, Guidewell customers travel between 9-10 miles outside of London and 5-6 miles within the London region to their treatment location Treatment is provided at one of over 250 hospitals and clinics nationwide We promise that if members follow the GuideWell claims process, they will not incur any shortfalls on hospital charges or specialist fees for treatment that is covered by the policy. What is an open referral? We describe an open referral as being a recommendation by a GP for a medical investigation or treatment, without being specific about which specialist and which hospital carries that out. An open referral should include the type of specialist that the member needs to see and the sub-specialty, if necessary, but should not name a specific specialist. Open referrals are becoming more frequent In March and April 2013, an Aviva commissioned survey, conducted by Facts International found that 44% of customers were provided with a choice of consultant (open referral) by their GP. In July 2014, 20% of our claims were an open referral. 4
5 GuideWell working for you Greater efficiency with our claims management system Our claims management system helps us identify and manage complex cases and treatment programmes, such as cardiac, orthopaedic, psychiatric and cancer cases. By working closely with providers, we can negotiate the costs of long stay and complex cases, but still make sure your members get the right care. BacktoBetter helping employees to return to work faster Our innovative BacktoBetter service provides the right treatment for back, neck and other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, without having to visit a GP. This makes the process faster than the usual GP-referral route, which helps contain costs and should see your employees return to work faster. Keeping your healthcare policy sustainable Advances in medicine are happening all the time. So we re always reviewing fees and challenging supply chain partners hospitals and specialists to make sure we re offering the right treatments at the right costs. Do you select these specialists because they re cheaper? Getting the right treatment for your employees is our priority and we would never compromise on costs to that effect. We use our specialist finder database to find a specialist and hospital that s appropriate for the members clinical needs. Through using the open referral claims method, GuideWell can be priced advantageously for your business. We believe this helps us to ensure the best possible outcome for your employees, helps you contain costs and contributes to keeping your premiums down, year on year. 5
6 A policy that s right for your business GuideWell is a policy you can shape so that it meets your company s needs. Every member has to follow the open referral route for treatments or investigations and the BacktoBetter route for MSK conditions there are no exceptions to this simple rule. However, you can adapt the policy so that it includes the benefits you want to offer, and excludes those you don t. You can also offer different sets of benefits for different categories of staff, provided they all follow the GuideWell claims process. With GuideWell, you will be able to better manage your costs whilst being sure that your employees are offered the appropriate treatment. With prompt and convenient access to those treatments, your employees can concentrate on getting better and getting back to work as soon as possible.
7 A claims experience that puts your employees first Your employees welfare is our top priority. That s one of the reasons why we place so much emphasis on making the claims journey as stress-free as possible. Where possible, we ll give a warm handover by connecting a member s call directly to the hospital for an appointment, rather than asking them to redial another number. Understanding clinical needs Our in-house clinicians work closely with our claims teams to understand your members clinical needs. Together, they use a proven triage process that identifies routine pathways (treatment for things like hernias and cataracts) and separates them from the more complex conditions such as heart and psychiatric conditions, as well as cancer. And if it is a more complex case, then one of our specialist claims teams will provide dedicated case management to members. Sensitivity combined with expertise and efficiency Consistency of service is all the more important for more sensitive conditions such as cancer, women s health, heart conditions and psychiatric problems. Our innovative service for musculoskeletal conditions Our innovative BacktoBetter service offers rapid access to qualified clinicians who assess MSK conditions and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment, whether this be self-managed treatment, physiotherapy sessions or an onward referral to a specialist. With BacktoBetter, there is no need to see a GP and if appropriate, members will usually be referred for treatment within two working days. Aviva customer service helpline The Aviva customer service helpline is here to help members throughout a claim, with experts who can answer questions and reassure them about the process. We have a bank of expert clinicians who help us provide dedicated case management. Everyone involved understands the complexities of a condition, so members get reassurance and seamless support from one treatment stage to the next. 7
8 Three simple steps When members feel unwell, the last thing they want to face is a difficult claims journey. So we ve made ours easy: Step 1: Open Referral from GP Member sees their GP and gets an open referral NB. For children under 16 years old, we will need a named referral as these can not be directed on an open referral claims basis. Step 2: Contact Aviva Member contacts our customer service helpline We ll use our specialist finder database to select an appropriate specialist and/or hospital. In most cases, we ll connect the member directly with the hospital to book their appointment. Step 3: Attend appointment Member attends appointment For back, neck or any other muscle or joint pain (musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions), the claims journey is even easier there is no need to see a GP with BacktoBetter. Step 1: Contact Aviva Member contacts our customer service helpline & describes their symptoms. Step 2: Clinical Assessment Our advisers arrange for a BacktoBetter clinical case manager to contact the member to assess their symptoms. Step 3: Treatment Our clinical case manager will determine whether treatment is necessary. If treatment is recommended, the member will be referred to one of our approved physiotherapists or specialists for treatment. 8

10 Innovative benefits BacktoBetter Musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries are the leading cost and cause of spend in health claims they re also a leading cause and cost of absence. It s not always easy for employees to work out exactly what s wrong or what to do about it. The challenge is to make high quality clinical services easily available when they are needed. Tackling the problem head on BacktoBetter introduces high quality clinical decision-making at the start of the entire claims journey. This makes sure that only appropriate and effective interventions are funded, which means a better outcome for your employees, a well-managed claims spend and a positive impact on absence levels. Musculoskeletal problems accounted for 30% of Aviva Health s corporate claims in We believe they re one of the biggest health challenges employers are facing today.

11 Cancer care Sadly, almost 1 in 8 of the corporate claims we receive are for an employee who has been diagnosed with cancer. We ve made sure this experience has been put to good use, so that we can give your employees the personal support they really need if they face this challenge. A dedicated case manager is on hand from the point of diagnosis. We re committed to making sure your employees get not only the right treatment but also a high level of aftercare. Our clinicians are there as a point of reference for extra support and guidance. All of your members are covered for investigations covered by the policy, up until the point of diagnosis. GuideWell then gives you options about the levels of cancer cover you d like to offer. You could choose our highest level of cover, limit it, or have no cover for treatment at all. If you choose the highest level of cancer cover, your employees will benefit from our cancer pledge. Our cancer pledge We understand the importance of providing extensive cover and support at every stage of cancer treatment. Extensive cover Our cancer pledge and support Our cancer pledge means we ll cover the treatment and palliative care members need as recommended by their specialists. We also want to make things as comfortable as possible following treatment, so we ll provide cover for aftercare, including dietary consultations and money towards prostheses and wigs. Selecting our Cancer pledge option is in addition to our core cover and will incur a higher premium. Case history After tests for stomach pains in early 2011 proved inconclusive, Zoe Tootell from Berkshire turned to her fiancé s Aviva private medical insurance for further investigations. A shock diagnosis of intestinal cancer threatened Zoe s wedding plans later in the same year, but she was determined to beat it and for the wedding to go ahead. The speed and efficiency of Aviva s service contributed to Zoe s recovery, helping her to fulfil her wedding dreams in September 2011 and enjoy married life. Zoe praised the support she received from our claims team, The claims experience was easy and quick and all the staff I spoke to were so pleasant and caring. The speed and efficiency of service was excellent and I will now be recommending you as a company. Not only did it mean that I was feeling better for my wedding, but more importantly, Aviva s assistance saved my life. 11

Below are examples of some common procedures and what they could cost at a private hospital. Also detailed, are the associated waiting times for each procedure if they were to be carried out on the NHS: Type of procedure Private cost NHS waiting time Knee arthroscopy 2, days Colonoscopy 1, days Diagnostic tests 1, days Radiotherapy / chemotherapy 10, days Consultations with a specialist 1, days It is important to remember that NHS waiting list times will vary depending on location and the hospital used.

14 Choosing the right cover for your company We ll help you shape GuideWell We ve helped customers shape and maintain healthcare policies that not only meet their immediate needs but also adapt to their changing plans. We can help you choose the right levels of cover for your company. We ll help you set up your GuideWell policy and carry on giving you support and assistance, such as regular management information on how the scheme is performing. We know that costs can be a priority. We ll work with you to help deliver value for money: GuideWell is designed to be sustainable in today s economic climate. And if you use financial advisers to arrange corporate benefits, we ll be happy to work alongside them to set up your healthcare policy. You can reduce costs further Member excess You can add an excess to your policy. With a 100 excess for example, members would be responsible for paying the first 100 of any costs incurred. This would only apply once per member per policy year. Select benefits You could select a range of benefits that you d like to exclude, such as treatment for complications of pregnancy or emergency overseas cover. Reduced out-patient cover You can limit the duration and extent of out-patient cover. Six week option Under this option your employees would have the benefit of private out-patient consultations and treatment regardless of NHS waiting times but, if they were referred for in-patient or day-patient treatment and the NHS waiting time was less than six weeks, then cover would not be available under the policy. 14
15 Underwriting options GuideWell gives you a choice of underwriting options. The standard underwriting option is medical history disregarded, however other options are offered to help reduce costs or to allow underwriting to continue from a previous insurer. Full medical underwriting The past health of members is considered and any pre-existing conditions or any related or associated condition may be excluded unless we choose to accept them. Continued medical exclusions If you re transferring from an existing fully medically underwritten policy by your previous insurer, we will accept the existing medical exclusions that were applied by your previous insurer. Medical history disregarded If you re taking out a policy for the first time or switching from another insurer, any pre-existing conditions of members will be covered providing they fall within the terms and conditions of the new policy. Moratorium Members will be unable to claim for any pre-existing conditions that existed during the five years before the start date of their cover. However, if the member does not have any medication, treatment, diagnostic tests or advice for the pre-existing condition during a continuous two year period, after their start date, they will be covered. Continued moratorium If you re transferring from an existing policy that was underwritten on a moratorium basis, our moratorium wording is applied with effect from each member s original moratorium start date. Medical underwriting options may be dependent on the size of the scheme. Please contact your usual healthcare sales consultant or financial adviser for more information.

17 Types of contracts Our account managers can help support you in selecting your benefits. Fully Insured A claims fund is set for the contract year, so you ll know exactly how much you ll pay. No additional premium will be payable (except for membership changes). We will be liable for claims in excess of the claims fund. Cost Plus A claims fund is set with a stop loss attachment point you ll be liable for any claims up to this point and we will be liable for any claims in excess of it. If the total claims for the contract year (including any adjustments for membership changes) are less than the claims fund, we will reimburse you the value of the unused fund. Trust You may choose to fund your company s private healthcare by a Healthcare Trust. This is not an insurance contract and attracts funding benefits you wouldn t have to pay any Insurance Premium Tax. Aviva can provide a full Healthcare Trust service. Stop Loss Insurance can be provided to protect the liability of the company by absorbing the exposure to costs above a certain level. A Healthcare Trust gives employers more control over the type of healthcare benefits provided as the business can set the rules of the trust. 17

23 FAQs Why GuideWell? GuideWell offers our corporate customers a sustainable benefit for their employees. It also responds to a growing preference for open referrals. With more control over which specialists and hospitals are offered we promise that if members follow the GuideWell claims process, there will be no shortfalls for you or your employees, on hospital charges or specialist fees for treatment that is covered by the policy. It s the right treatment, at the right time, at the right cost, delivering the right clinical outcome. What is an open referral? We describe an open referral as being a recommendation by a GP for a medical investigation or treatment, without being specific about which specialist and which hospital carries that out. An open referral should include the type of specialist that the member needs to see and the sub-specialty, if necessary, but should not name a specific specialist. Can all GPs make open referrals, and will they? GPs may use some specialists more frequently than others, but all GPs can make open referrals. They can be confident that we ll suggest specialists who are accountable to a statutory regulatory body or employed within a managed environment, and who have the qualifications, experience, knowledge and skills to provide the care or treatment involved. How do you decide which specialists to offer? We have a specialist finder database. We can see each specialist s area of expertise, sub-specialty and where they practice. We will select specialists who have conducted the same type of procedure, for our members, at least three times within the last two years or, we have independently verified that they are qualified to carry out that procedure. How can you promise that there will be no shortfalls? The majority of the specialists on our specialist finder database adhere to our fee guidelines. In some cases, the member may be directed to a specialist that does not adhere to our fee schedules, in these rare cases we will pick up all shortfalls that occur the member won t be charged any extra. Giving that extra peace of mind. How far will members have to travel? We believe treatment should be as convenient as possible. We invite members to confirm whether they would like us to locate a hospital nearer their work or home address. We ll then find the right specialist who can meet the member s clinical needs. Most of our members can expect an appointment within a 25 mile radius of their given postcode outside London, or 10 miles within the Central London area. On average, our customers travel between 9 10 miles outside of London & between 5 6 miles within the London region to their treatment location. What happens if a GP wants to name a specialist and/or hospital? In order to qualify for treatment under the GuideWell policy, all members will need to get an open referral from their GP. If a member comes to us with a named referral from their GP, we may refer them to an alternative specialist and/or hospital. In some cases, the specialist/hospital that is selected by us may also be the specialist that the GP would have recommended. Cancer claims If you are diagnosed with cancer, you will need a named referral to an oncology specialist. This means that you will need to ask for a consultant name and treatment unit, in line with our standard criteria. For any cancer 23
24 claims requiring onward specialist referral (reconstructive surgery, cardiology if relevant etc.) we may guide you to a specialist or hospital at this point, unless there is a clinical need for a particular named referral. In most cases we will engage our clinical team for advice and may request information from the original specialist if it is deemed necessary. What happens if a member sees a specialist without notifying Aviva? If a member sees a specialist, named by their GP, without getting confirmation from us, they may be liable for the full cost of the claim. Can members choose specialists and hospitals? No, your members must get an open referral from their GP and we ll find the right specialist and hospital using the specialist finder. In some cases, members may be given a choice of multiple specialists. Isn t this restrictive for members? Members may find that the specialists we select in their local area are exactly the same individuals that would have been named by their GP. The open referral method does help us contain costs, which means that we can price GuideWell advantageously and our specialist finder tool enables us to source treatment with an appropriate specialist. This also provides the member with the peace of mind that there ll be no shortfalls on hospital or specialist costs for treatment that is covered by the policy. What happens if my GP refuses to give an open referral? We would be more than happy to speak to any GP who would prefer not to give an open referral. What happens if a member needs to continue previous treatment? A member s welfare is our top priority. We will honour existing treatment pathways eligible under the policy until they re finished. Any new treatment will follow our open referral process. Can children be covered under GuideWell? GuideWell does provide cover for dependents and for paediatric care, but we will need a named referral from the GP as there are far fewer private hospitals providing this type of care. As we can t guarantee to offer the same choice of specialists or facilities for children, we recommend that members talk to their GP about different options for paediatrics in their area. Why should I choose GuideWell? We promise that if members follow the GuideWell claims process, they will not incur any shortfalls on hospital charges or specialist fees for treatment that is covered by the policy. We can offer advantageous pricing, because the open referral process gives us more control over claims costs from the outset. We pass those savings on to you. Why will my employees like GuideWell? Your employees will be treated by specialists who have conducted the same type of procedure, for our members, at least three times within the last two years or, who have been independently verified that they are qualified to carry out that procedure. Your employees will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing there ll be no shortfalls on hospital or specialist costs. In addition, using our specialist finder means that members benefit from the flexibility of receiving treatment near to either their work or their home postcode. 24
