The Harbingers of Change
4
The Triple Aim: The Holy Grail
3. Quality1. Access 2. Affordability
5
3. Quality – more important, but United States still lags most other developed countries!
1. Access is highly variable. Delivery system consolidation: improving access or not?
2. Affordability challenges are large and unsustainable
The Triple Aim: Deconstructed
6
WHY IS HEALTH CARE RIPE FOR DISRUPTION?
COSTS ARE UNSUSTAINABLY HIGH AND THERE IS LITTLE TO SHOW FOR THIS
SPENDING IS DRIVEN BY MANY FACTORS:Administrative costs; aging population, fraud, waste and abuse; inefficiencies;regulation and compliance; reimbursement model; defensive medicine; insurance benefit design; salaries; scope of practice; technology; utilization; lack of accountability; lack of care coordination and communication across systems and sites of care; lack of focus on wellness and prevention; social determinants of health are not addressed; health literacy issues; supply chain inefficiencies; and manymore….
7
WHY IS HEALTH CARE RIPE FOR DISRUPTION?
We are close to a tipping point for value-based care (VBHC). Government and private sector initiatives have tipped the scales!
US Healthcare is failing too many:Low value for care delivered; personal debt and medical bankruptcies; impact on economy and corporate performance; poorly managed chronic conditions;underspending on social determinants of health; overreliance on expensive technology; lack of population health, accountability and care coordination; unhappy stakeholders: patients, caregivers; employers and providers;and manymore….

§ Potential disruptors, such as Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JP Morgan, will further drive stakeholders to innovate for better outcomes and lower costs
§ Alternative Care Delivery Models§ Technology: HIT; Telehealth§ Advanced analytics: Real World Evidence (RWE); Prescriptive and predictive analytics; Patient
Reported Outcomes (PROs)§ Innovative and Personalized Therapies and Tools: Biologics, Digital Therapeutics; Biomarkers; Gene
therapy§ Cost/Trend Control Approaches: New generic not for profit company; Value based- contracting (VBC);
Merger driven integration of medical care and benefits§ People: developing effective teams and leaders; Health plans and IDNs need to implement population
health and value-based care; patient and care giver experience needs to be addressed effectively
New Trends, Entrants and Developments (TEDs)
TEDs will Focus on transforming healthcare and bringing value

What Is Important to Know?Consolidation and Vertical Integration
§ In October 2017, Anthem BCBS announced the 2020 launch of its new PBM: IngenioRx− Anticipated to net more than $4 billion in savings annually
§ December 2017: CVS announces plan to purchase Aetna for $69 billion− Focuses include expanding medical care access in clinics and site of care for infusions
§ Express Scripts purchases eviCore in December 2017− eviCore is leading provider of medical benefit management services
§ March 2018: Cigna announces plan to purchase ESI for $67 billion§ January 2018: Intermountain and other systems, representing 450+ hospitals,
plan a not-for-profit generic drug company
Consolidation allows payers to expand risk pool and leverage manufacturers and provider/health system network for larger discounts
10
What Is Important to Know?The Heavyweights: Retail, High Tech, and the Government
§ Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JP Morgan: Announce New Health Insurance Approach
§ Walmart§ Google§ Apple§ Microsoft
CMS is a disruptor in a different way from other potential disruptors.
All want to change healthcare; each can disrupt it

ACOs represent a changing dynamic in the US healthcare system, where providers will increasingly be paid to effectively manage the health of populations as opposed to basing payment on the volume of services they provide. Many ACOs have expanded the number of contracts in which they participate.
ACOs: Trending Up—Other Alternative Payment Models Evolving
Source: http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/06/28/growth-of-acos-and-alternative-payment-models-in-2017
Need to continue to focus on how product value proposition relates to ACO metrics and business incentives
17
§ CMS is now focusing on voluntary participation models with recent request for information for new models, including Physician Specialty Models and Prescription Drug Models
§ CMS is seeking increased participation in Advanced APMs, with new models being proposed to accelerate risk assumption
§ In August 2018, CMS issued a proposed rule that could significantly alter the Medicare ACO programs. Proposed changes include – Accelerating the pace at which ACOs assume risk– Collaboration arrangements between Medicare Part D sponsors and ACOs to enhance coordination
of pharmacy care to potentially reduce costs and avoid errors– Enhanced telehealth coverage
§ Potential disruptors, such as Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JP Morgan, will further drive stakeholders to innovate for better outcomes and lower costs
Alternative Payment Models
Seek strategic opportunities to influence model development aligned with portfolio and to support performance of models within key therapeutic areasIDNs and ACOs adapt to 2019 changes

What Is Important to Know?Where Will Disruption Lead Healthcare?
Transition from volume to value is a major trend. Expect this to continue; speed and successful execution are the unknownsDelivery system consolidations have yet to truly deliver value–that needs to change
§ Technical breakthroughs are needed and could revolutionize healthcare delivery–MAYBE!§ Healthcare has many inefficiencies and waste–disruption these will save money§ Patient safety and accountability for outcomes needs to move front and center
Scientific breakthroughs are likely–can they lower the cost of care? They haven’t yet!Breakthroughs in patient engagement and experience could be big game changers

The Evolution of Healthcare–Where, When, and How?
31
Exclusion Lists Are Targeting Rare and Sensitive Diseases
§ In 2017, CVS began excluding oral cancer agents in CML and prostate cancer
§ In 2019, Express Scripts will exclude certain drugs that treat HIV, hemophilia, and hereditary angioedema
§ Other payers/PBMs will likely follow the lead of CVS and ESI if they are successful
§ Rare disease manufacturers can no longer assume their disease is too small to manage
32
ICER and HTA in the United States
§ ICER influence is growing rapidly− Nearly $20 million in grants from the Laura & John Arnold Foundation− Partnership with VA in formulary and cost-effectiveness determinations− Sanofi’s contract sets a new precedent payers can use in negotiation− CVS program allowing clients to exclude me-too drugs with a QALY >$100,000 as established by ICER− According to PFV research, more than 80% of surveyed payers use ICER analyses in drug management
and evaluation§ Our point-of-view on a value-based marketplace− Healthcare continues to move from volume to value− ICER analyses may present a threat or opportunity, depending on how ICER frames a drug’s value− Manufacturers need to be able to tell a strong, transparent, cost-effectiveness story or risk access− ICER has numerous points of engagement that manufacturers can take advantage of (and PFV can help!)
Cost-effectiveness tools are growing in influence; FAQs and response guides can help a client be prepared
33
Forecasting the Future!!!
34
Building the 21st Century Healthcare
§ Technology and market transformation will continue to drive greater use of big data, apps, and AI – Data will be used by plans to better discern efficacy of therapies for better management of
their populations– The big tech companies will disrupt healthcare in any number of ways; which will make the
most difference in transforming healthcare?– How will robots and drones be used?– Banks have figured out interoperability when will healthcare get it done?
§ Managing chronic diseases: scientific advances have turned many killers into chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are now the bulk of healthcare utilization. Better management with attention to outcomes is sorely needed
§ Improving the patient experience of care is new frontier and technology will drive this!
35
Summary
The legislative and regulatory climate is increasing pressure to contain costs and expand transparency
Payers continue to shift risk to patients and providers
Risk-bearing entities are adapting to VBR with quality improvement, population health management, and value-based contracting strategies—offers opportunities to forge strategic alliances for mutual benefit
Technology will drive change and is likely to be a game changerTEDs will disrupt by building a product or service offering that customers will want to use or experience over and over again!
36
Final Thoughts
We need a crystal ball to predict what will actually happen? What does yours show?
Technology will drive change–will it lower cost?
