BD attach. 5 Methodology Aon Statistical Report • Examines 4 different chronic diseases: Asthma, Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) • Measures changes in disease prevalence, participation, utilization, & cost for PEBB members based on incurred claims data • Prevalence based on agreed-upon definitions of each chronic disease (ICD, CPT, & NDC Codes) • Participation based on member list provided by carriers • Three types of utilization & cost analysis Level I – with & without disease Level II – participant vs. non-participants Clinical Measures – provided by carriers Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Methodology Carrier Reported Clinical Measures • Additional clinical measures reported separately by carriers from non-claims sources (e.g. chart notes). • Data reported uses the criteria mutually agreed upon by both carriers as outlined in the 2003 CDM Report • HEDIS* measures have been added as a benchmark where available • Regence relies on claims system for reporting on clinical measures from administrative data and does not have access to lab results * The carrier reported values should not be compared to HEDIS values as the carriers do not have the HEDIS continuous enrollment requirement. This difference in methodology was agreed to by both carriers at the beginning of the reporting process. Prepared by Aon Consulting

BD attach. 5 Aon Statistical Findings Cost Findings • 28% of total 2003 PEBB claims were for members with at least one of the four chronic disease (includes claims for non-disease related illness/injury) • Average monthly claims for members (PMPM) with chronic disease was $570 – 4x higher than for those without chronic disease • PMPM ranged from $493 for asthma to $2,039 for CHF • Rate of increase in PMPM costs from 2002 to 2003 was 19% for members with chronic disease compared to a 5% increase for members without chronic disease Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Aon Statistical Findings Utilization Findings • Overall utilization continues to be higher for members with chronic disease verses members without chronic disease • Changes in utilization rates for members with chronic disease are mixed; additional analysis will be conducted to explain the reasons. Increases in utilization may be the result of members receiving appropriate preventive procedures which is positive. • Still too early to confirm trends due to anomalies during the reporting period • 2002 consolidation of carriers and plan designs • Small numbers for PEBB’s chronic disease populations • Many members have co-morbidities that confound analysis Prepared by Aon Consulting

BD attach. 5 Participation • Kaiser participation is 100% for all diseases • Regence participation rates vary by disease: • Asthma: 56% • Diabetes: 74% • CAD: 27% • CHF: 34% • Regence participation increased significantly for CAD and CHF as a result of substantial changes in the administration of its disease management programs. Participation in 2002 was 5% for each disease prior to the changes. Note: Regence only contacts members considered ‘suitable’ for enrollment in disease management. For participation based on Regence suitability refer to page 20 of the 2003 Report. Prepared by Aon Consulting

Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Carrier Reported Clinical Measures: Diabetes Utilization Results • Proper care should result in a reduction in the number of hospital admissions and ER visits for members with diabetes • Clinical Goal: decrease in the number of hospitalizations per 1,000 and ER visits per 1,000 for diabetics Kaiser Regence HEDIS 75th Hospitalization for Diabetes or Comorbidity as Primary Diagnosis 2002 2003 Hospitalization for Diabetes or Comorbidity as Any Diagnosis There are no HEDIS Equivalents ER visits per 1,000 Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Carrier Reported Clinical Measures: CAD Compliance with Appropriate Labs & Exams • The goal of managing CAD is to prevent further events (angina/chest pain or repeat heart attacks) by controlling all risk factors (high blood pressure, cholesterol, inactivity, tobacco use) • Beta Blocker medications are the best drug treatment for preventing recurrent heart attacks • Aspirin has the ability to reduce clot formation in the narrowed coronary arteries • Clinical Goal: increase in percentage of members receiving beta blocker treatment, cholesterol screening, and aspirin use Kaiser Regence HEDIS 75th Mbrs Receiving Beta Blocker following a Heart Attack (AMI) Mbrs who had LDL-C Screening following an Acute Coronary Event (AMI, CABG, PTCA) 2002 Mbrs Using Aspirin following an Acute Coronary Event (AMI, CABG, PTCA) Regence does not have Access to Chart Notes There is no HEDIS Equivalent 2003 Note: HEDIS percentiles have been included for benchmarking only and should not be used as a comparator with the carrier reported values as the carriers do not have a continuous enrollment requirement. Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Carrier Reported Clinical Measures: CAD Clinical Results • LDL cholesterol is the form of cholesterol circulating in the blood that can attach to the blood vessel wall and cause further damage/narrowing • Good care will result in management of all cardiac risk factors including cholesterol levels • Clinical Goal: an increase in the percent of members with LDL-C controlled Kaiser Regence HEDIS 75th 2002 2003 Kaiser Data not Available in 2002 Of the Mbrs Screened for LDL-C, the % of those screened with LDL-C Controlled Regence does not have Access to Lab Results Note: HEDIS percentiles have been included for benchmarking only and should not be used as a comparator with the carrier reported values as the carriers do not have a continuous enrollment requirement.

BD attach. 5 Carrier Reported Clinical Measures: CHF Utilization Results • There are two goals of treatment for CHF • Minimize patient care • After hospitalization, discharge in a stable condition so that patient is able to self-manage • Appropriate diagnosis and care during hospitalization and appropriate management as an outpatient will reduce both the number of hospital admissions as well as the number of re-admissions • Clinical Goal: decrease in both the number of hospital days and the number of re-admissions Kaiser Regence HEDIS 75th Hospital Days for CHF (per 1,000) There are no HEDIS Equivalents 2002 2003 Re-admissions within 90 days (per 1,000) Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Carrier Reported Measures Clinical Measures - Findings • Performance on appropriate screenings and exams generally improved in 2003 • Utilization results are mixed; additional analysis will be conducted to explain the causes. For example, the increase in CAD hospitalizations may be due to increased use of PCTA’s which is positive. • Both carriers scored below HEDIS 75th percentile on some measures, however, comparisons with HEDIS are difficult to interpret given the small size of PEBB’s chronic disease populations and differences in methodology *HEDIS benchmark measures not directly comparable due to HEDIS continuous enrollment requirement Prepared by Aon Consulting

BD attach. 5 Summary • There is clear evidence members with chronic disease experience higher cost and utilization than the population without chronic disease • Performance on clinical measures generally improved in 2003 • Still too early to evaluate the effectiveness of PEBB’s Chronic Disease Management Program on controlling costs - consistent with current industry knowledge as outlined in the recent Congressional Budget Office findings • In the early stages of evaluation, performance on clinical measures is a better short-term indicator of the overall effectiveness • Additional experience is needed to isolate the long-term effect of chronic disease management due to: • Anomalies in 2002 reporting year (consolidation of carriers/plan design) • Random variations possibly due to the small population being measured Prepared by Aon Consulting
BD attach. 5 Recommendations for Future Program Direction • Continue to track prevalence, utilization, cost, and clinical measures over time • Encourage carriers to demonstrate continuous improvement in program design, participation, and outcomes • Align current programs with 2007 Vision • Develop intervention strategies for other conditions prevalent in the PEBB population e.g., obesity and smoking cessation • Develop metrics and opportunities for collaboration to address depression Prepared by Aon Consulting
