Our Philosophy of Health Care • Older patients require overtly coordinated care with a care path that takes into account their multiple conditions and treats them simultaneously • A physical and human locus of care is required to create care coordination and a setting where care habits of patients can be sustained. • Clinicians in key roles must be confident generalists, persistent and deliberate, with competence as clinical decision makers, communicators and team players. • All providers of service have a buy-in for the system of care, not just their individual capabilities. • A complete care continuum requires equal attention to medical, social, psychological and pharmacologicalneeds of the patient. • An explicit approach to care is required for each chronic condition, for high-frequency acute episodes, and for end-of-life. • An obsessive attention to detail in both micro matters (individual care) and macro matters (care programs) permits optimal outcomes • A willingness to thoughtfully challenge the status quo provides windows of insight into clinical innovation and care pattern redesign which can optimize patient health and comfort, and conserve financial resources.
Challenging the Status Quo • Health care systems should be about improving quality, not maintaining it • At least 35% of health care costs for the chronically ill can be avoided • Prepayment (Capitation) is freedom, not risk • Primary Care is a “team sport” not an “individual sport” • For aging adults, Primary Care should be an outbound activity, not an inbound activity • A high percentage of physician services can be provided by non-physician clinicians • Benefit design should lead with patient access and compliance considerations, not actuarial risk considerations • Patient compliance is more our problem than the patient’s • We have a responsibility for the financial well-being of our physician and hospital partners • Many patients fare better with less complex health care interventions

Primary care physician value proposition Increase PCP Compensation • Medicare FFS pays the PCP $67 per visit (CPT code 99213) -- an average of $480 patient / year (assuming 7.2 patient visits a year) • CareMore guarantees the PCP $480 ($40 PMPM) but visits are only 4.5 per year and we pay $107 per visit Increases PCP Schedule Capacity • CareMore clinicians and programs relieve PCPs of their most complex chronically ill and frail patients • Increases PCP capacity by 20% to 30% -- can add more patients to increase pay Better Patient Care • More resources used to support the PCP funded by CareMore prepayment • CareMore programs provide the PCP with resources that enable better clinical care • Preventive care programs • Medical Home (CCC) • Chronic programs • Technology • Communications tools • Unique PCP value proposition has served CareMore well in new markets
The CareMore model produces dramatically improved outcomes for several costly chronic diseases and conditions Diabetes ESRD CHF Status quo Status quo Status quo Half of all ESRD Admissions were the result of either poor hygiene, poor diabetic control or vascular access limits/clogs. Dialysis centers provided no primary care and patients were referred to the ER. Most ER visits resulted in an admission Many patients with out-of-control diabetes were not brought in control through insulin use. Common wisdom was that inability to correctly self administer or improper dosing were driving results. Further, insufficient support in the areas of nutrition and exercise were observed PCPs were not collecting daily weights, a leading indicator of change of condition. Self-reported weights were inaccurate. PCPs were not adequately responsive to immediate care needs of patients who require intervention within a few hours of onset of symptoms CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign Established insulin “starts” and insulin “camps”. At the “start” day, patient is trained in all aspects of self-administration of insulin. At “camps”, patients are brought to the center for a full day to observe all of their behaviors and monitor glucose levels at all points of self care. A personal nutrition counselor was assigned Equip each patient with a wireless scale that sets off alerts if weight gain is 3 lbs overnight or 1 lb per day for more than 3 days. Same-day visit with clinician if alert is triggered. Proactive hospice planning with changes in condition Established a dedicated case manager and nurse-practitioner who receive referrals from centers in lieu of ER referral. Primary/preventive care is provided and all patients are in the diabetic management program, receiving monthly preventive access line inspection and, if needed, cleaning Result Result Result • Average HbA1c for those attending our diabetic clinic is 7.08, with 7.0 being considered good control. Patients in the clinic are referred for poor control • 50% reduction in hospital admission rate in 5 months • 42% fewer admissions than the national average • 56% reduction in hospital admission rate in 3 months
The CareMore model produces dramatically improved outcomes for several costly chronic diseases and conditions (cont’d) Stroke Prevention Amputations Depression System Failure System Failure System Failure 70% of hypertensive patients do not have adequate blood pressure control. This leads to increased stroke (and other cardiovascular) risk. Blood pressures checked in PCP offices frequently are inaccurate. PCPs have inadequate time/resources to deal with diabetic wounds, which results in specialty (surgical) referrals that delay treatment, increases cost and increases chance of amputations. Depression is a underdiagnosed problem in seniors. Underdiagnosed depression leads to a variety of health problems and costs including ER visits & unnecessary tests. CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign Equipped patients with labile HTN with wireless blood pressure cuff. CareMore NPs monitor blood pressure & make appropriate changes according to JNC guideline. All new CareMore members receive a comprehensive health exam that includes PHQ-9 & dementia screen. Designed a wound clinic, staffed with wound-certified CareMore NPs. Result Result Result • 48% of patients had >10mmHgs drop in blood pressure • Patients with SBP>160 or higher had average SBP drop of 23 mmHg • Patients with SBP b/n 150-160 had average SBP drop of 19mmHg • Diabetic amputation rate for CareMore members is 60% lower than the national average. • Early diagnosis and then intervention at CareMore’s mental health centers • (19% of screened)
The CareMore model produces dramatically improved clinical outcomes for several costly chronic diseases and conditions (cont’d) Wounds Institutional CIT1 Status quo Status quo Status quo Inactivity and some staffing issues (one monthly visit/60 days), lack of primary care in facilities resulted in wound development or exacerbation (for example bed sores) Patients in institutional settings were being hospitalized at a rate of 5x the general populations for untreatable conditions, largely because nursing homes do not have skilled clinical staff to make timely interventions A small fraction of the Medicare population are hospitalized >10 times per year because of lack of home-based or social support resulting in falls, malnutrition, dehydration. Most live alone and suffer from dementia or other mental illnesses CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign CareMore Redesign Deployed nurse practitioner teams to nursing homes weekly to proactively tend to skin or create early intervention in patients likely to develop wounds CareMore sends a nurse practitioner to the nursing home once a week to keep patients stabilized. If an acute event emerges, an NP is available 24x7 for telephonic consultation and in-person visits if needed CareMore assembled a team of clinical social workers, mental health professionals, lawyers, physicians and NPs who assume a home-based multi-disciplinary care approach for these patients Result Result Result • The usual rate per year for development of pressure ulcers for nursing home patients in California is 13% Only 4% of CareMore’s institutionalized patients developed pressure ulcers • Preventive intervention resulted in reduction in bedsores and reduction in falls. Hospital admission rates are 80% less than national norms • Reduced hospital and SNF admissions by 60%. Resulted in placement rate of >30% for participants 1CareMore Intervention Team, which includes the Company’s expert team of providers
