  5. Reform Presents Opportunities and Challenges • Decision Time: In or Out? • Health Reform is Important, But… • Legislation should guide your strategy, not govern your strategy • The Headwinds Are Strong • Demographics, advanced treatments, lifestyle, legislation—all push costs upward • The Stakes Are High • Medical is the most highly valued benefit, by a margin of 2 to 1, and is no longer “fringe” • There Will Be Continued Risk • Government will respond to political as well as market shifts, and is not coming to employers’ rescue = + Driving dual RESULTSof lower cost and improved health Increased INTENSITYon individual accountability Continuous FOCUS on plan design and care delivery models “Never waste a good crisis” Reform presents an opportunity for new considerations Consulting | U.S. Health & BenefitsProprietary & Confidential | 10068O01.PPT/005-J8-11728 Unit7 12/2012

  7. The Path Forward:Public and Commercial Health Care Reform is Transformative • Changes to the revenue model • More people enrolled in government programs, at reduced/changed reimbursement levels, including outcomes-based payment • New models like Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes create opportunity for new revenue • More patients enrolled in “consumer-driven” plans, expecting to understanding cost and quality before receiving care • Benefit programs will change, with incentives for healthy behaviors • Increased incentives for health improvement and for use of own facilities/providers • Integrated care delivery models may lead to narrower provider network for employees • Staffing and labor challenges • Compensation model will shift as revenue model changes • Attraction of highly specialized clinical resources will be critical Health Reform Will Transform the Health Care Industry—How Will Your Organization Take Advantage?
