4/25/2013 Quality Metrics Reporting ACO must meet the quality measures in each of the Quality Domains and lower the cost of care delivery to obtain financial rewards. Each Quality Domain accounts for 25% of the pay-for-performance calculation Year 1 is reporting only Payments for performance kick in years 2 and 3 2013 Walgreen Co. All rights reserved. 5 5
4/25/2013 Shared Savings Determination To qualify for Shared Savings: The ACO s actual PMPY is compared to an expected PMPY (known as the benchmark); If the actual PMPY is sufficiently less than the expected PMPY (by an amount known as the hurdle rate ), the ACO is eligible ibl to share in the difference between actual and expected PMPYs (50%/50% share with CMS). 2013 Walgreen Co.

Conducting opportunity analysis to identify (and then quantify) potential clinical programs; 2. Aggregating and warehousing data from multiple sources; 3. Predictive modeling/risk stratifying at the patient level for implementation of clinical programs; 4. Identifying gaps in care at the patient level; 5. Developing baseline quality measures for outcomes reporting (33 quality measures); 6. Providing ongoing reporting for program management and outcomes. 2013 Walgreen Co. All rights reserved. 9 9

What we re collectively solving for Create partnerships that allow us to: deliver below-market trends Achieve financial results in acceptable and sustainable returns for all parties find cost and quality improvements Increase market share Health Plan Trust Hospital Physician Group 2 2 2
Framework of Partnership Initial focus on HMO network Goal in first year hold Total Cost of Care (TCC) flat, or to a minimal increase Establishing up front savings goals and cost targets Incentive model by establishing risk share arrangement with provider partners on all services Actionable ACO program initiatives to achieve targets 3 3 3
pilot ACO (Dignity & Hill) 2010/2011 results 2010 outcome 2010-11 combined $15.5M in savings to CalPERS ($20.5M total savings) major reductions in: readmissions inpatient days inpatient stays of 20 or more days ALOS $37M in savings to CalPERS PMPM cost trend ~ 3% vs. ~7% for non-aco population 2011 quality results: Increase in ACE/ARB use Decrease in readmissions Significantly higher patient satisfaction Other measures comparable to non-aco 4 4 4
