| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO | PRIORITY HEALTH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE BHSH SYSTEM, AN INTEGRATED NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM SERVING COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN. PRIORITY HEALTH'S MISSION, LED BY ITS COMMUNITY BOARD, STRIVES TO RETURN VALUE TO THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BEYOND THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE TO ITS MEMBERS. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS BUILT A LONG HISTORY OF OFFERING MICHIGAN EMPLOYERS AND INDIVIDUALS PROGRESSIVE PRODUCTS AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS INTENDED TO KEEP COSTS DOWN AND MEMBERS HEALTHY. ITS BROAD PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES INCLUDES TRADITIONAL MEDICAL PLANS AS WELL AS HSA'S, HRA'S AND OTHER CONSUMER-DRIVEN PRODUCTS. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED "ACCREDITED " STATUS WITH A 4.5 OUT OF 5 STAR RATING FOR ITS HMO PRODUCTS FROM THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA), AN INDEPENDENT MANAGED CARE ACCREDITING BODY . PRIORITY HEALTH HAS ALSO MAINTAINED AN "A" (EXCELLENT) FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATING FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE YEARS FROM A.M. BEST, A HEALTH INSURANCE RATINGS AGENCY, RECOGNIZING THE FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF THE ORGANIZATION AND FOCUS ON MANAGING THE COST OF HEALTH CARE FOR ITS COMMUNITY. IN EARLY 2020, PRIORITY HEALTH COMPLETED A MERGER WITH TOTAL HEALTH CARE, INC., A HEALTH PLAN BASED IN SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN. THE MEDICAID BUSINESS WAS INTEGRATED INTO PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. IN OCTOBER 2021, WHILE THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO PRIORITY HEALTH IN 2022. AS PART OF THIS MERGER, A FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED TO WHICH PRIORITY HEALTH COMMITTED $25 MILLION TO FOCUS ON IMPROVING HEALTH IN DETROIT AREA COMMUNITIES. THE FOUNDATION WILL SUPPORT AND INVEST IN HEALTH CARE INITIATIVES THAT INCREASE ACCESS, IMPROVE OUTCOMES, AND HAVING A MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN AND AROUND THE CITY OF DETROIT. PRIORITY HEALTH'S MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER, BHSH SYSTEM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES CARE AND COVERAGE WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM OF 31,000+ DEDICATED PEOPLE-INCLUDING MORE THAN 4,700 PHYSICIANS AND ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS IN 14 HOSPITALS, 150+ OUTPATIENT LOCATIONS AND SEVERAL POST-ACUTE FACILITIES; AND PRIORITY HEALTH, A PROVIDER-SPONSORED HEALTH PLAN SERVING OVER 1.2 MILLION MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED $505 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2021. BHSH SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE TOP HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY AND EXPANDED ITS FOOTPRINT WITH ITS 2022 INTEGRATION OF BEAUMONT HEALTH IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) ADDED NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONS MUST SATISFY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN TAX EXEMPT STATUS UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3). ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THIS ACT IS TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND ADOPT AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. SPECTRUM HEALTH COMPLETED SEVERAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IDENTIFYING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN GOALS FOR EACH SPECTRUM HEALTH HOSPITAL. ONE NEED IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA'S IS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, WHICH INCLUDES IMPROVING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE CARE AND MEDICAL HOME CARE, INCLUDING THE UNINSURED AND LOW-INCOME WORKING INDIVIDUALS. SPECTRUM HEALTH WORKS CLOSELY WITH PRIORITY HEALTH TO ACHIEVE THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND GOALS. PRIORITY HEALTH PURSUES INITIATIVES THAT SUPPORT THE TRIPLE AIM OF ENHANCING THE QUALITY AND EXPERIENCE OF CARE FOR THE PATIENT, IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF POPULATIONS, AND REDUCING THE COSTS OF HEALTHCARE. IN 2021, PRIORITY HEALTH LOWERED HEALTH COSTS ACROSS ALL LINES OF BUSINESS BY $20 MILLION IN INCREMENTAL SAVINGS THROUGH NEW OR EXPANDED MANAGED CARE INITIATIVES AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS INFLUENCE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, PROMOTE APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION AND INCREASE QUALITY, WHICH EXTENDS BEYOND PRIORITY HEALTH'S MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO THE MANAGED CARE SAVINGS ABOVE, PRIORITY HEALTH PURSUES INITIATIVES TO PREVENT INDIVIDUALS FROM DEVELOPING CHRONIC DISEASES, AS WELL AS INITIATIVES TO BETTER MANAGE INDIVIDUALS WHO ALREADY HAVE CHRONIC DISEASES. IN 2021, PRIORITY HEALTH ENROLLED OVER 77,000 MEMBERS IN MANAGED CARE AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS . PRIORITY HEALTH MEASURES EACH ACCOUNTABLE CARE NETWORK'S USE OF RATES FOR PREFERENCE SENSITIVE CONDITIONS AND DISTRIBUTES THIS BENCHMARK DATA UN-BLINDED TO HIGHLIGHT OUTLIERS IN STANDARDS OF CARE. CONSUMER DECISION MAKING TOOLS HAVE ALSO BEEN DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH ALTERNATIVES TO TREATMENT WITH RELATED EVIDENCE BASED OUTCOMES. PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULARY ASSESSMENTS GUIDE PHYSICIAN PRESCRIPTION ORDERING BEHAVIORS TOWARD THE LOWEST COST DRUGS THAT ARE PROVEN EFFECTIVE. QUALITY AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO MONITOR AND REDUCE HIGH-COST HEALTH CARE AREAS SUCH AS EMERGENCY ROOM (ER) VISITS, HIGH DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, AND UNNECESSARY ADMISSIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. OTHER EXAMPLES OF INITIATIVES INCLUDE IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS, WHICH BENEFIT NON-PRIORITY HEALTH PATIENTS; DEVELOPING AND PUBLISHING PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE GUIDELINES AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE; AND USING COMMUNITY RATING WHICH MINIMIZES THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SEVERE ILLNESS ON A GIVEN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP. PRIORITY HEALTH SERVES WHAT THE IRS HAS DEFINED AS THE "MOST IN NEED" POPULATION WITH INDIVIDUALS, SMALL GROUPS AND ELDERLY MAKING UP NEARLY 71% OF THE MEMBERSHIP BASE. PRIORITY HEALTH PROVIDED COMMUNITY-RATED AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE TO OVER 671,000 MEMBERS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS, SMALL GROUPS AND ELDERLY IN 2021. PRIORITY HEALTH ALSO SUPPORTS ITS WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC., WHICH PROVIDES ACCESS TO EXCELLENT HEALTH CARE TO OVER 241,000 MEDICAID MEMBERS OF THE 671,000 MEMBERS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | PRIORITY HEALTH HAS BEEN A LEADER IN PATIENT-CENTERED CARE AND HAS A PROVEN RECORD OF WORKING WITH PHYSICIANS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THROUGH ITS PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE PROGRAM, PRIORITY HEALTH ENCOURAGES AND REWARDS THE QUALITY CARE OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS. THE PHYSICIANS AND PRACTICES SELECTED FOR THE PRIORITY HEALTH QUALITY AWARDS HAVE ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST OVERALL SCORES FOR ENSURING PATIENTS RECEIVE PREVENTIVE CARE, CONTROL CHRONIC DISEASE AND HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. EACH AWARD RECIPIENT IS SELECTED BY ANALYZING THE RESULTS OF THE PRIORITY HEALTH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER INCENTIVE PROGRAM, A PROGRAM THAT TRACKS CLINICAL QUALITY MEASURES AGAINST NATIONAL STANDARDS AND EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE. PRIORITY HEALTH PAID PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS MORE THAN $39 MILLION IN 2022 BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE IN 2021. THE PROGRAM'S SUCCESS IS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED BY THE NUMBER OF PRIORITY HEALTH MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE PREVENTIVE SCREENINGS. IN THE LAST YEAR, MORE THAN 74% OF PRIORITY HEALTH MEMBERS RECEIVED ROUTINE COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING EXAMS COMPARED TO A NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 65% AND 77% OF MEMBERS RECEIVED RECOMMENDED BREAST CANCER SCREENING COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 73%. PRIORITY HEALTH SHARES RISK WITH PROVIDERS AND EMPLOYERS BY OFFERING THESE INCENTIVES AND OTHER RISK SHARING ARRANGEMENTS. THIS PROMOTES LOWER OVERALL HEALTH CARE COSTS AND IMPROVED QUALITY TO THE COMMUNITY. IN 2015, PRIORITY HEALTH LAUNCHED A COST ESTIMATOR TOOL TO HELP MEMBERS CALCULATE THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS TO FIND THE MOST AFFORDABLE SERVICES. THE ONLINE COST ESTIMATOR TOOL DISPLAYS PRIORITY HEALTH SPECIFIC FEES FOR 300 COMMON HEALTH CARE PROCEDURES. THE COST ESTIMATOR RECOMMENDS LOWER-COST DOCTOR/FACILITY OPTIONS TO HELP ENSURE MEMBERS GET THE HIGHEST-QUALITY CARE AT THE BEST PRICE. THIS INNOVATIVE TOOL SUPPORTS PRIORITY HEALTH'S CONTINUED MARKET LEADERSHIP IN TRANSPARENCY AND LOWERS THE COST OF CARE TO THE COMMUNITY. SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2015, THE COST ESTIMATOR HAS RESULTED IN CUMULATIVE SHARED SAVINGS OF MORE THAN $17 MILLION. THE PRIORITY HEALTH THIRD PARTY LIABILITY (TPL) TEAM HAS CONSISTENTLY IMPROVED OUTCOMES BY INCREASING SAVINGS THROUGH AUDIT, ANALYSIS, AND THOROUGH ACCOUNT EVALUATION. WITH EMPHASIS ON IMPROVING BOTH MEMBER AND PROVIDER SATISFACTION, PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE AT THE END OF 2019 TO EXPEDITE LIABILITY DETERMINATIONS BY FOCUSING ON COST CONTAINMENT EFFORTS AND DRIVING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN ALL AREAS OF THE DEPARTMENT, THE TPL TEAM HAS BEEN ABLE TO CREATE EFFICIENCIES WHILE REALIZING PROGRAM SAVINGS OF OVER $29 MILLION. THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES (DIFS) ADOPTED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S EXTENSION OF THE TRANSITIONAL "AS IS" POLICY. THIS DECISION ALLOWS INSURERS TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY WOULD CONTINUE OFFERING POLICIES THAT ARE NOT COMPLIANT WITH THE ACA, WHICH BECAME PERMISSIBLE WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DELAYED THE REQUIRED SHIFT TO ACA-APPROVED INSURANCE COVERAGE. WHILE MAJOR COMPETITORS HAVE SHUT DOWN PLANS, PRIORITY HEALTH CONTINUES TO OFFER AN EXTENSION OF ITS PRE-ACA INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP HEALTH PLANS TO SUBSCRIBERS AS LONG AS PERMITTED BY REGULATORY GUIDANCE. THE DECISION TO EXTEND PLANS IS CONSISTENT WITH PRIORITY HEALTH'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS WITH FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE ACA, EACH STATE SELECTS AN ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS "BENCHMARK PLAN" THAT SERVES AS A REFERENCE FOR ALL OTHER HEALTH PLANS TO FOLLOW (INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL BUSINESS), WHEN DESIGNING THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS SURROUNDING COVERED SERVICES. A BENCHMARK PLAN IS CHOSEN BY EACH STATE EVERY FIVE YEARS. PRIORITY HEALTH WAS SELECTED AS THE STATE'S BENCHMARK PLAN IN 2012 AND IS THE ONLY HEALTH PLAN IN MICHIGAN TO EVER EARN THIS DESIGNATION. STARTING IN 2017 (CONTINUING IN 2018 AND FORWARD), THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES (DIFS) HAS RECOMMENDED THE PRIORITY HEALTH HMO PLAN TO CONTINUE TO SERVE AS THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS BENCHMARK FOR THE STATE. THE RECOMMENDATION UNDERSCORES PRIORITY HEALTH'S ABILITY TO DELIVER INCREDIBLE VALUE AND CREATE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT IMPACT HEALTH CARE COSTS WHILE MAXIMIZING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. PRIORITY HEALTH'S HMO PLAN WAS SELECTED BECAUSE DIFS BELIEVES IT ACHIEVES THE BEST BALANCE BETWEEN COMPREHENSIVENESS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS FOR MICHIGAN CONSUMERS. THE MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS (MAHP), AN INDUSTRY VOICE FOR THE STATE'S HEALTH CARE PLANS, RECOGNIZES BEST PRACTICES IN HEALTH PLANS BY SPONSORING THE PINNACLE AWARDS. HEALTH PLANS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF A SHIFTING HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATIONS, CLINICAL SERVICES, DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE PINNACLE AWARD CONTINUES TO SERVE AS AN EMBLEM OF EXCELLENCE TO THE MEMBER PLANS THAT ARE RECOGNIZED. PRIORITY HEALTH CONTINUES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMS THAT HAVE LED TO INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND PATIENT CARE, HELPING LOWER COSTS, AND INCREASE SERVICE TO ITS MICHIGAN PATIENTS BY THE MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS. PRIORITY HEALTH HOPES TO CONTINUE ITS HISTORY OF BEING RECOGNIZED FOR ITS FOCUS ON IMPROVING HEALTH WHILE LOWERING COST. IN 2021, FOLLOWING A YEAR IN WHCH THE PINNACLE AWARDS WERE POSTPONED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, 8 MICHIGAN HEALTH PLANS FROM ACROSS THE STATE SUBMITTED 24 PROGRAMS DEMONSTRATING CREATIVE APPROACHES TO SOLVING PROBLEMS AND IMPROVING SERVICES IN THE COMMERICAL, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID SECTORS. THESE 24 GROUND-BREAKING PROGRAMS CONSIDERED FOR MAHP'S ANNUAL PINNACLE AWARDS, SHOW AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT AND AN INTEREST IN SERVING MEMBERS AS WELL AS TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVE PATIENT HEALTH CARE WHILE LOWERING COSTS AND INCREASING SERVICE TO MICHIGAN CITIZENS. A PANEL OF 9 JUDGES, REPRESENTING OTHER HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT, AND BUSINESSES THOROUGHLY REVIEWED AND DELIBERATED THE 24 SUBMISSIONS AND SELECTED PRIORITY HEALTH AS ONE OF THE WINNERS OF A 2021 PINNACLE AWARD IN 2021, PRIORITY HEALTH WON A PINNACLE AWARD FOR ITS MEDICAID PRODUCT WITH THEIR ASTHMA ENVIRONMENTAL HOUSING PROJECT. THE PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICAID ASTHMA ENVIRONMENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM REDUCED EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS BY 61.4% AND DECREASED ANNUAL MEDICAL SPENDING BY OVER $675,000. THE PROGRAM'S GOAL WAS TO IMPROVE HOUSING RELATED ASPECTS OF POORLY CONTROLLED ASTHMA FOR 25 HOUSEHOLDS IN KENT COUNTY. THE PROGRAM PROVIDED HOUSEHOLDS WITH TAILORED ASTHMA EDUCATION, AN ASTHMA MANAGEMENT PLAN, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER SUPPORT, CARE MANAGMENT SERVICES, IF NECESSARY, AND HOUSING REPAIRS OR REMOVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS WHERE POSSIBLE. PRIORITY HEALTH WON A 2019 PINNACLE AWARD FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH BY A SINGLE PLAN. PRIORITY HEALTH, WHILE WORKING CLOSELY WITH MAHP'S CHILDREN'S SPECIAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES ("CSHCS") AND THEIR FAMILIES, WAS QUICK TO IDENTIFY NEEDS AND GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO CARE COORDINATION BETWEEN THESE FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY PROVIDERS THEY RELY ON TO SERVE THEM. IN RESPONSE TO THESE FINDINGS, PRIORITY HEALTH LAUNCHED THE MEDICALLY COMPLEX CHILDREN'S INFORMATION SHARING EVENTS. THESE EVENTS ARE HELD QUARTERLY TO PROVIDE A VENUE FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO WORK WITH THE CSHCS POPULATION TO NETWORK, SHARE INFORMATION, ESTABLISH A MORE ROBUST REFERRAL PROCESS AND TO COLLABORATE MORE. THE RESULT IS GREATER CARE COORDINATION AND AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES, WHICH ARE AVAILABLE BUT OFTEN UNDERUTILIZED IN THESE COMMUNITIES. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PRIORITY HEALTH SENIOR MARKETS | PRIORITY HEALTH BEGAN OFFERING MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS IN JULY 2005 AND MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE IN JANUARY 2006. ITS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS VARY IN PRICE BASED ON WHERE MEMBERS LIVE AND WHAT BENEFITS THEY NEED. MORE THAN 209,000 MICHIGANDERS HAVE A PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN, AND NEARLY 17,000 CHOSE A PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT PLAN, ALSO KNOWN AS MEDIGAP. PRIORITY HEALTH STRIVES TO COLLABORATE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE MEDICARE SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THAT IS WHY IT WROTE AND PUBLISHED "MEDICARE ADVANTAGE FOR DUMMIES." IT WAS WRITTEN IN COOPERATION WITH WILEY PUBLISHING, OWNERS OF THE DUMMIES SERIES. THE BOOK HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED FREE TO OVER 255,000 PEOPLE ACROSS MICHIGAN AND DOWNLOADED COUNTLESS TIMES AS IT IS NOW AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY AS AN E-BOOK. AS A RESULT OF PRIORITY HEALTH'S WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND DEDICATION TO DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY COVERAGE, ITS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE HMO-POS AND PPO PLANS WERE ACCREDITED WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA), WITH OUR HMO-POS PLANS EARNING A 4.5 RATING OUT OF 5. PRIORITY HEALTH'S 2021 MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE WERE ALSO AWARDED 4.0 OUT OF 5 STARS BY THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS). THE MEDICARE STAR RATINGS INDICATE HOW WELL A HEALTH PLAN PERFORMS OVERALL; THE BETTER THE STAR RATING, THE HIGHER QUALITY CARE AND EXPERIENCE IS DELIVERED. OF THE 42 QUALITY AND IMPROVEMENTS METRICS USED TO DETERMINE OUR OVERALL QUALITY RATING OF 4.0, APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE METRICS WERE EITHER 4 OR 5 STARS. PRIORITY HEALTH IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ITS MEMBERS HIGH QUALITY MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS WHILE REMAINING AMONG THE LOWEST COST PLANS IN THE COUNTRY. MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MEMBERS CAN ENROLL EITHER INDIVIDUALLY, OR THROUGH AN EMPLOYER GROUP. DURING THE 2021 MEDICARE ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD (AEP), PRIORITY HEALTH ENROLLED 26% OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED A MAPD PLAN IN MICHIGAN FROM OCTOBER 15 - DECEMBER 7, 2020. PRIORITY HEALTH'S MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ENROLLMENT INCLUDES ABOUT 174,900 INDIVIDUAL ADVANTAGE MEMBERS, OR 33% OF THE TOTAL INDIVIDUAL MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MARKET, MAKING PRIORITY HEALTH THE LEADER IN MICHIGAN. PRIORITY HEALTH INDIVIDUAL MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS ARE OFFERED IN ALL 68 COUNTIES IN MICHIGAN'S LOWER PENINSULA, WITH 9 OUT OF 10 PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND ALL MAJOR HOSPTIAL SYSTEMS IN OUR NETWORK IN THE LOWER PENINSULA. WITH 98% OF PROVIDERS, INCLUDING ALL MAJOR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, IN OUR NETWORK. PRIORITY HEALTH'S NETWORK HAS NEARLY 45,000 PROVIDERS. IN 2012, PRIORITY HEALTH LAUNCHED HOME BASED PRIMARY CARE (HBPC) AS A PILOT WITH OUR AFFILIATE, SPECTRUM HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP (SHMG). HBPC BRINGS THE CARE TEAM INTO THE HOME OF PATIENTS THAT ARE AT THE FAR END OF THE POPULATION HEALTH CONTINUUM, THE ADVANCED CHRONICALLY ILL, WHOSE MULTIPLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS ARE COMPLICATED BY FUNCTIONAL AND/OR COGNITIVE LIMITATIONS THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ADEQUATELY ACCESS THE TRADITIONAL AMBULATORY PHYSICIAN OFFICE. IN ADDITION TO PRIORITY HEALTH CHANGING HOW THE PATIENT ACCESSES THEIR CARE, THERE IS NOW A TEAM-BASED MODEL OF CARE TO MEET ALL THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT. IN 2021 PRIORITY HEALTH CONTINUED ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH PATIENTS HAVING ADVANCED ILLNESS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SPECTRUM HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP AND TWO OTHER CONTRACTED PROVIDERS WHICH RESULTED IN $22.3 MILLION IN SAVINGS BY REACHING MEMBERS ENROLLED IN HBPC PROGRAMS. CHRONIC CONDITIONS ARE LEADING CONTRIBUTORS TO RISING HEALTH CARE COSTS NATIONWIDE. TO ADDRESS THIS, PRIORITY HEALTH LAUNCHED THE MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT (MTM) PILOT PROGRAM WITH ITS MEDICARE MEMBERS. THE MTM PILOT PROGRAM OFFERED PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET ONE-ON-ONE WITH PHARMACISTS TO REVIEW ALL OF THEIR MEDICATIONS INCLUDING PRESCRIPTIONS, OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS, AND HERBAL AND VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS. COMPLEX MEDICATION REGIMENS CREATE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES FOR PATIENTS LIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS, THEIR CAREGIVERS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. THE IMPACT OF MEDICATION-RELATED PROBLEMS CAN BE MINIMIZED THROUGH A STRUCTURED MTM PROGRAM THAT USES PHARMACISTS COLLABORATING WITH THE PATIENT AND THE PATIENT'S HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. RETAIL AND OFFICE-BASED PHARMACISTS WILL COLLABORATE WITH PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS TO ADDRESS DRUG-RELATED PROBLEMS AND COMPLETE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICATION REVIEWS. IN 2015, PRIORITY HEALTH EXPANDED ITS MTM PROGRAM TO COMMERCIAL AND MEDICAID MEMBERS. WITH THIS MOVE, PRIORITY HEALTH BECAME THE FIRST HEALTH PLAN IN THE STATE TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO BOTH ITS MEDICARE AND EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH PLANS. IN 2021, PRIORITY HEALTH ENGAGED OVER 52,000 MEDICARE MEMBERS IN THE MTM PROGRAM AND REDUCED THEIR OVERALL COST OF CARE. IN 2017, PRIORITY HEALTH RECEIVED A PINNACLE AWARD FOR ITS MEDICARE CARE MANAGEMENT HYBRID PROGRAM. THE CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IMPACT DISEASE MANAGEMENT. WHILE DATA SCIENCE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND IMPROVE IN ITS ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THESE NON-CLAIMS DRIVEN INDICATORS OF RISK, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE USUAL METHODS OF CARE MANAGEMENT TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THEM. PRIORITY HEALTH LAUNCHED ITS HYBRID PROGRAM AS AN AT-HOME CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THE FULL BURDEN OF ILLNESS AND SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC RISK FACTORS FOR MEDICARE MEMBERS. AS A RESULT, PRIORITY HEALTH HAS OBSERVED LOWER ADMISSION RATES THAN STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES THANKS IN PART TO INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAMS THAT PROVIDE A QUICK RESPONSE TO CONDITION DESTABILIZATION. IN 2018, PRIORITY HEALTH ADDED ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY TO ITS COST ESTIMATOR TOOL ENABLING MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MEMBERS TO ACCESS REAL-TIME COST INFORMATION ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, HELPING MEMBERS PAY LESS BY SWITCHING TO A LOWER PRICED ALTERNATIVE, USING A PREFERRED PHARMACY, OR OPTING FOR MAIL ORDER. MORE THAN 6,000 PRESCRIPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE VIA THE COST ESTIMATOR TOOL INCLUDING PILLS, CHEWABLES, AND CAPSULE DRUGS. WHEN A MEDICATION IS PRICED THROUGH THE TOOL, MEMBERS HAVE THE OPTION TO VIEW MORE AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES AND SEE EXACT COSTS AT THEIR PREFERRED PHARMACIES, WHICH FOR COULD PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS TO THOSE MEMBERS WHO REQUIRE SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE DRUGS IN THE MARKET. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a PROCESS TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OF TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL | The BHSH System Board of Directors (through its Compensation Committee) uses the following process for determining compensation of the top management officials, other officers, and key employees at Priority Health. Labor market data reflecting comparable organizations and jobs (prepared by independent firms) are relied upon in setting compensation levels. Competitive assessment reports are provided to the Compensation Committee in advance of meetings. The competitive assessment report is prepared by a nationally known independent executive compensation firm. For Calendar Year 2021 (1/1/21-12/31/21), the following surveys, prepared by independent firms, were the primary sources referenced to obtain market data for the review: * Aon: 2020 Total Compensation Measurement Survey: Financial Services Survey * BDO: 2020 USA Health Insurance Plans Survey * Integrated Healthcare Strategies: 2020 National Healthcare Leadership Compensation Survey * Mercer: 2020 IHN Healthcare Compensation Survey * Mercer: 2020 IHN Health Plan Compensation Survey * Sullivan Cotter Associates: 2020 Manager and Executive Compensation in Hospitals and Health Systems Survey In addition, three general industry surveys were referenced: * Aon: 2020 Total Compensation Measurement Survey: General Industry * Mercer: 2020 US Executive Remuneration Suite * Willis Towers Watson: 2020 Executive Compensation Survey In addition to the above data sources, the Compensation Committee approved the creation of a custom peer group of high performing integrated health systems to ensure robust data and a relevant comparator universe. The peer group organizations are approved by the Compensation Committee and consists of healthcare systems similar in revenue size, market competitors, high performers, financially stable as indicated by bond rating and that follow a similar strategy (multi-site systems, health plans). Data for the peer group organizations is compiled by the independent executive compensation firm. Compensation adjustments are approved by Compensation Committee members, consistent with the Spectrum Health compensation philosophy described below. Minutes of Committee discussions and decisions are prepared to memorialize Compensation Committee decisions based upon the above data. Cash compensation data relied upon by the Compensation Committee is national and reflects the compensation paid to executives in comparable jobs in comparably sized health care and / or health insurance organizations. Spectrum Health recruits nationally for its executives. Benefits data reflect national health care / health insurance market practices. This process is intended to assist Spectrum Health in qualifying for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness (Intermediate Sanctions Regulations) and complying with the potential Spectrum Health Excess Benefit Transaction Policy for those individuals in the group who are disqualified persons. The opinion submitted from the third-party independent consulting firm is in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 53.4958-6(c)(2) and is also intended to satisfy the professional advice requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 53.4958-1(d)(4)(iii). |
