The world is changing…how will health insurers best adapt?

By 2018, 1

exist three

years ago, receiving 30% of their care outside of a traditional health system

Debt is cheap and well-positioned health plans are evaluating the landscape for consolidation opportunities

I like the pricing environment a lot and we have a lot of capacity to work with to do a cash transaction of meaningful size –and it would be transformative. – Wayne DeVeydt, Anthem CFO

Acquisitions and consolidations are going to become more common as smaller insurers decide they do not have the leverage, staff and resources to meet the requirements of federal healthcare reform.

Consolidation remains likely, with Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini asserting that government business is the focus for inorganic growth, while compatible cultures for post-merger synergies were viewed as the driver in all transactions... [acquisition of Humana or Cigna could be] imminent. – Ana Gupte, Leerink analyst

Anthem Blue Cross and seven Southern CA health systems have partnered to create Vivity, a regional integrated health system with HMO product Partners

• The Vivity partnership is a JV between Anthem and seven health systems which will use a capitation model – All partners pool premiums and share financial risk/gain equally – Providers held to quality of care, efficiency targets • Vivity aims to reduce costs through improved data sharing and care management

This integrated approach I would call game-changing in the Los Angeles marketplace.

Great care starts with a trusting relationship between the physician and the patient. This new company will work in tandem with primary care physicians to create a new paradigm of high-quality, affordable health care – Tandigm Health. – Daniel J. Hilferty, President and CEO, IBC

Healthcare organizations are grappling with their course of action: Get bigger to gain scale, or go deeper through vertical integrations?

Three major business model archetypes for payers to consider Skinny and Simple

Value Experience

Healthcare Partner

Value Vision

Low cost, simple health insurance

Superior experience from high Trusted advisor to help you value, preferred providers navigate & make better choices

Solution Design

• Narrow network, high deductible, operational excellence

• Alternative product focused • Healthcare service model on care and experience • Advice and access • Partnered or owned assets

Price • ~10%, Highly certain Advantage

• 10%, up to 20%+ long term • Varied certainty unless full • 10%, up to 20%+ long term risk

Experience • Moderate to low Potential

• Med-High, but variable

• High, and unique

Strategic Control

• Low • Low-High (varies by exclusivity) • Relatively easy to replicate • Brand value accrues to • Provider consolidation partner, vs. Payer threatens

• High • “Own” consumer influence, network becomes “irrelevant”

To Consider

• Short-term must-do • Partner or own assets? • Major scale to sustain • Avoid commoditizing • Local vs. absolute scale? • Challenge of scaling

• Major change in business • Layer with other strategies • Scale vs. investment?

Keys to success in considering vertical integration strategies

• Don’t fear vertical integration

− All M&A is challenging – 60−70% of deals overestimate synergies1,2

• “Smart” test and learn

− Systematic approach to testing “small bets” vs “spaghetti against the wall”

• People and culture matter

− Know who you are about to marry, don’t try to change them

• Align, align, align

− Clear objectives that are purpose built − Must be win/win for a partnership to work

• Its all about execution

− Leadership makes all the difference − Relentless alignment to objectives, ruthless accountability, and continuously adapting
