Request for Proposal Finalist Scoring Summary The scoring factors for the proposals are based on the following significant items: Financial Cost and Value: Overall rating competitiveness Plan design value Value added programs Provider Disruption and Member Access: Network accessibility for HMO, PPO and LPPO programs Network discount and overall competitiveness Quality and Member Service: Overall depth of Retiree only plan experience Service team experience Performance guarantee conditions Administrative and Account Management Support Account Executive and Senior Management support and experience Accuracy and promptness of responses to the Request for Proposal 5
Request for Proposal Finalist Scoring Summary In addition, the Request for Proposal finalist scoring included the following consideration: Overall quality and financial strength rating of carrier Attention to details in carrier proposals Clarity of facts and communication in carrier proposals Demonstrated ability to follow Request for Proposal directions Depth of experience and understanding of Retiree population Flexibility of financial and service arrangements and products Carrier s innovation in products and services for a Retiree population The category scoring methodology conforms fully to the industry standard and is highly recommended. 6
Request for Proposal Financial Summary Financially, Anthem, Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare represent the three most competitive carriers. Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare proposals do not completely duplicate the current Anthem plans and arrangement. We will need further review of conditions and requirements. 7

Aetna, Blue Shield, HealthNet and UnitedHealthcare proposals are contingent to full replacement of current Anthem plans. For the Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MA-PD) plans, all carrier proposals are subject to approval by CMS. 8
Request for Proposal Proposed Medical Plans Summary Anthem s proposal includes the following significant items: Medicare Supplement plan is offered as replacement option to the LPPO Medicare Advantage plan. A participating, refunding LPPO Medicare Advantage plan is offered versus the current, non-participating arrangement. As an option, the HMO Select Network plan is offered at lower rate than the current HMO plan. Blue Shield s proposal includes the following significant items: Medicare Supplement plan is offered as replacement option to the Anthem LPPO Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage, PPO network based plan cannot be offered to replace Anthem s LPPO Medicare Advantage plan. Proposed HMO and PPO plans closely match the current Anthem plans. 9
Request for Proposal Proposed Medical Plans Summary UnitedHealthcare s proposal includes the following significant items: Medicare Advantage PPO network plan is offered as replacement to the Anthem Medicare Advantage LPPO plan. This is UnitedHealthcare s first year introducing this product in California. HMO, PPO and Medicare Advantage plans are quoted only on a nonparticipating, non-refunding basis. Further clarification is needed on the HMO and PPO plans offered as replacement to the current Anthem plans. The performance guarantee category measurements are not specified. The SCAN proposal is only for its own Medicare Advantage plan. It does not include a proposal to replace Anthem plans. A detailed plan benefits comparison of the carrier programs is shown in the Appendix Proposed HMO and PPO Plan Summary. 10
Summary of Provider Network Analysis Following is a summary of carrier network analysis: Categories Anthem Aetna Blue Shield HealthNet United Healthcare HMO Network Accessibility Highly Accessible Accessible Accessible Accessible Highly Accessible HMO Network Financial Competitiveness High Competitive High Competitive High Competitive Competitive Highly Accessible PPO Network Accessibility Highly Accessible Accessible Highly Accessible Accessible Accessible PPO Network Financial Competitiveness High Competitive High Competitive High Competitive Competitive Competitive LACERS Top 20 Hospital Facilities In-Network and In-Network and In-Network and Not Provided Not Provided Fully Available Partially Available Fully Available Notes: 1. Humana and SCAN are not listed above due to lack of HMO and PPO networks in California. Our analysis compared the carrier HMO and PPO network in accessibility and financial competitiveness. Further, we reviewed LACERS specific top 20 hospitals in HMO and PPO utilization during the past 12-months. 11
Summary of Provider Network Analysis Anthem s provider network is the most competitive overall among the carriers both financially and accessibility. Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare provided the next most competitive networks. A further provider network analysis will be performed during the finalist review process, including for the Medicare Advantage program. A detailed HMO provider disruption analysis and LACERS top hospital listings are provided in the Appendix. - Appendix HMO Medical Group Disruption Report - Appendix LACERS Top Hospital Contract Summary 12
Summary of Mental Health Program Proposals As a part of the Request for Proposal, we requested carriers to propose a mental health services program. Our request was in response to the recent utilization increase in mental health services, particularly in the Kaiser plan: - Kaiser Mental Health In-Patient Claims on a Per Member Per Month (PMPM) Basis: $15.05 PMPM (2011) vs. $5.35 PMPM (2010) or a 181% increase. The medical carrier proposals did not produce any significant mental health program advantages. We recommend further review of Kaiser s mental health utilization during the finalist review. 13
Summary of Disease and Care Management Program Proposals As a part of the Request for Proposal, we requested carriers to propose a disease and care management program for Anthem subscribers. The carrier proposals did not produce any significant program advantages compared to the current Anthem program. Anthem s current disease and care management program is financially the most competitive and advantageous. Anthem has proposed to offer in 2014, 2015 and 2016 the following disease and care management programs for its subscribers: - Condition Care - 24/7 Nurseline and My Health Advantage Gold - Time Well Spent 14
Summary of Disease and Care Management Program Proposals In addition, Anthem has offered to its subscribers following programs at no cost in 2014, 2015 and 2016: - Diabetes, Asthma, Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Oncology Program - Depression Screening - Physician Messaging 15
Summary of Disease and Care Management Program Proposals Further, we recommend a close integration of Keenan s wellness program team with Anthem and Kaiser s disease and care management team. A cooperation with Keenan s wellness program team with each carrier should result in overall improvement in the performance of disease and care management programs. 16
Recommendations Based on our initial review of the carrier responses to the Request for Proposal, our findings are as follows: Recommend Anthem, Blue Shield, Kaiser, SCAN and UnitedHealthcare as finalists for the interview and selection process. Review and negotiate with finalist carriers to include additional available data. Recommend to continue with current mental health services program with close attention to Kaiser utilization during finalist review. Recommend the continuation of Anthem s disease and care management program with greater involvement of Keenan s wellness program team. Review Kaiser s preliminary and final proposals and recommend appropriate findings. 17
Acknowledgement Keenan & Associates would like to thank Ms. Lita Payne, Mr. Alex Rabrenovich and the LACERS Health Benefits Administration staff for providing the necessary data for this preliminary renewal study. Their cooperation and guidance have been extremely valuable. 18
