Product Eliminations Rationale Blue Access PPO

Ohio has designed a new 2-99 portfolio New portfolio preliminary design offers 18 PPO products verses 14 SG and 15 Key plans Added additional RX options to the 100+ portfolio

Increase operational efficienciesCreate a more attractive portfolio Close the pricing gaps To address missing price points Eliminated unattractive plans

Lumenos Ohio may reduce total number of plans while creating the new 2-99 portfolioConsider elimination of richer 0% plans on 100+ portfolio

Increase operational efficiencies and create a more attractive, profitable portfolio

New Product Introductions (2-99) Rationale Blue Access PPO

Ohio is developing a new 2-99 portfolio effective May – June 2012 with a recommended 3% price point spread between plans

This will address many of the gaps on the current 6.0 portfolio and offer new cost shares and designs to remain competitive

Lumenos HRA first dollar Rx and Medical copays plus embedded deductible HSA with copay after deductible enhancement Placeholder for up to 10 additional plans to accommodate enhancements

We are losing groups to UHC; This will allow us to gain HRA market share while still attracting good risk

Pharmacy Changes 2-99 RationalePharmacy Core Reduce to 3 options total on the new portfolio

Implement Pharmacy Strategy Increase 4th tier per script max copay from $150 to $200 on 2-99Increase Home Delivery Generic copay to 2.5 times

Richness compared to competition Consistency across all Rx options Keep up with rising cost of Rx Provide cost savings/premium relief Richness or leanness of medical benefit paired with equally rich or lean Rx benefit decreases anti–selection issues

Pharmacy – CDH Introduce leaner CDH Rx Option by increasing existing tier copays Increase 4th tier per script max copay from $150 to $200Increase Home Delivery Generic copay to 2.5 times

Consistency across all Rx options Keep up with rising cost of Rx Provide cost savings/premium relief

What is the competition doing?

14

Observations and OpportunitiesWe are leaner than UHC in portfolio size in the Key market. Humana is

larger due to 2-99 single portfolio

We offer fewer 0% plans than either competitor

Humana now offering plans with $300-$350 copays. UHC $250 ER on all.

We offer $250 ER on select plans

We are the richest with a $200 and $250 deductible (on Key portfolio) verses

$500 as the richest with top two competitors

We offer fewer HAS 100% plans than UHC who offers 10; Humana offers 3

UHC offers an HRA product with Rx copays day on and an embedded

deductible resulting in challenges and group loss for sales

We offer the richest 4 tier Rx option

Gaps identified on SG and Key that must be addressed with new portfolio
