UCare's programs provide services to seniors, low-income families, those with physical disabilities, and other individuals who may have challenges accessing health care. UCare is dedicated to promoting the health of the community it serves and makes quality health care available on an economically advantageous, prepaid basis to that community. Our services are guided by UCare's mission which is to improve the health of our members through innovative services and partnerships across communities.In 2017, UCare's quality monitoring, program initiatives and services demonstrated many significant activities and outcomes. The highlights are outlined as follows:-Statistically significant (p>0.05) clinical improvements for our members were achieved in the following Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set ("HEDIS") measurements for certain state, dual eligible, and individual programs : Controlling High Blood Pressure, Child BMI and Counseling for Nutrition and Physical, Follow Up after Hospitalization, Asthma Medication Adherence, and All Cause Readmissions. Overall, UCare delivered high quality health care and helped members achieve improved health outcomes in Medicare and Medicaid as demonstrated by achieving HEDIS measures that were above the national 75th percentile in more than half (52% to 62%) of all measures.-UCare's health improvement efforts also were reflected in 2017 by earning 4.5 stars out of 5 in the CMS Medicare Performance Assessment report for its UCare for Seniors product and 3.5 stars for the Minnesota Senior Health Options product. In addition, UCare retained "Excellent" accreditation status for UCare for Seniors and "Accredited" status (highest level attainable until 2018) for UCare's Mnsure market place plans.UCare provided many health promotion, disease management, care management and wellness programs. These efforts not only benefit the health of enrollees, but positively affect their families and larger communities. Examples include: disease management programs for asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and congestive heart failure; falls prevention programs to improve safety of seniors; Management of Maternity Services (M.O.M.S.) programs that provide resources to enrollees and providers to improve pregnancy and post-partum health, car seat distribution and education to pregnant women; tobacco cessation programs and services to help members live nicotine free, and distribution of free materials on health education and proper use of urgent and emergency facilities at community forums. In addition, UCare supports member health with access to many different fitness options as well as discounts on services that support health and wellness but may not be covered by the member's plan, including alternative medicine and community education. UCare conducted a variety of health related educational sessions, tools and materials for members, providers, and the general public. UCare developed and delivered Medicare general education sessions across the state of Minnesota. These meetings were open to anyone in the community, especially those who will be or know someone who will be aging in to Medicare in the near future and is interested in learning about all aspects of the federal Medicare program and system. In 2017, UCare conducted 278 Medicare education classes which were attended by 1,804 individuals. For network providers to improve care delivery for all patients, UCare developed a provider tool kit and conducted a webinar series on mental health issues related to depression and medication adherence. In partnership with the American Cancer Society, UCare conducted a webinar educating providers about cervical cancer screening and HPV guidelines, and how to work with the special needs population to receive these screenings. UCare partnered with the Somali community to conduct culturally appropriate health education classes for community families, elders and imams regarding preventative care and chronic condition management. UCare also produced numerous newsletter articles educating both members and providers about various topics, including breast cancer screening, colon cancer screening, blood pressure control, and overall effective diabetes management. UCare provided health related screenings and services that are available at no or low cost to members and the general public. In partnership with HealthFair 11, UCare supported providing various free health related screenings, flu shots, and health educational information to the general public via the UCare Healthmobile at various community events and at the Minnesota State Fair. In 2017, UCare provided a total of 750 cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure screenings, as well as BMI tests at 27 different community events in the Healthmobile. Over the 12 days of the 2017 Minnesota State Fair, UCare in partnership with HealthFair 11 provided over 83,000 health related screenings, tests, flu shots or health education information.

Through UCare's community benefit program, we reach out to the larger community by: -Addressing social needs that may undermine the health of the community; -Strengthening the providers that serve populations with challenges accessing care; -Encouraging the wellness of families and seniors in our neighborhoods; -Supporting research, programs, and organizations that benefit health care quality and delivery;-Supporting medical education related to improving access to primary care.Through UCare's Community Benefit Program, UCare makes financial contributions to the extent funds are available for general community benefit. UCare provided funds to the University of Minnesota Medical School, Department of Family Medicine & Community Health (the Department) which supported the purposes and activities of both organizations through meeting the primary care needs of the community, particularly underserved individuals and advancing community medical education. With the support of UCare funding and patients, the Department administered ten family medicine residency and fellowship programs, as well as operated four family medicine residency clinics that teach residents and other medical students and provide team based care in urban and rural underserved areas of Minnesota. The family medicine clinics also educated medical residents on evolving alternative care delivery models, including transition care management, complex care collaboration, chronic pain protocols, health care home certification and coordination with community health care workers. In addition to providing critical funding to support family medicine education, faculty participated in various community outreach efforts including: the Rural and Metropolitan Physician Associate Programs; providing care to underserved populations in community clinics; and mentoring North Minneapolis youth interested in medical careers. UCare funding was also used to support Department research activities focused on the study of health disparities, health care delivery and population health.UCare also provided financial support for the UCare Foundation, a community-directed initiative of UCare. Grant-making from the Foundation is focused on programs and initiatives that improve the health of underserved populations in the Twin Cities and throughout Greater Minnesota with innovative services, education, community outreach, and research. In 2017, grants provided by the Foundation using funds contributed by UCare included support for organizations that promote education and research related to primary care and family medicine, activities that support health disparities and healthy living among southern Minnesota refugee families, and programs that provide various supports to aging seniors who are struggling to live independently in the community. During 2017, UCare also helped many community organizations and providers delivering services, research, and programs that reach beyond UCare's membership, including efforts to strengthen the social safety net for at-risk families and seniors and advance efforts to address issues related to social determinants of health. UCare provided grants to twelve provider care systems to support the development and operation of various models, initiatives, and programs related to food insecurity, children's initiatives, mental health resources, chronic condition management, opioid use, and home based programs. Other community based organization examples include: the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute as they maximize the quality of life for people of all ages and abilities by delivering comprehensive, person-centered rehabilitation; Human Rights Campaign that works to ensure basic equal rights to lesbian, bisexual, transgender and gay people; National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, a grassroots organization dedicated to building better lives for those affected by mental illness; and the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians Research Forum which provides opportunities for family medicine researchers to share innovations in their field.Finally, UCare also encouraged employees and their families to volunteer time and financial resources in the community. UCare provides organizational support for volunteer services to education, social services, and health organizations that build capacity in local communities to improve the welfare of at-risk families and seniors. Examples of employee volunteer efforts include support for the following: Adopt-a-Family Gift Drive, Food/School Supply Drives, Jeremiah House "Cook for Kids", Meals on Wheels, Keystone Community Services Food Shelf, and Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly. 2584266885 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 5518 0 952 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0

The Medical School/Department is not a traditional parent organization of UCare, and does not directly appoint or elect all of these directors. The Department also does not have direct removal authority for all of these directors, and removal of a director under the bylaws requires the vote of at least one director not affiliated with the Medical School/Department. However, the Medical School/Department has indirect control of the appointment and election process of these eight directors. One Director is appointed by the Dean of the Medical School, two Directors (including the Chair) are on the Board by virtue of their positions at the Department, and the Chair appoints five physicians on faculty at the Department. UCare's current Board includes six independent Directors: five Directors who are enrollees of UCare's plan, and an at-large Director from the community. Under Minnesota law, the Board is charged to act in the best interests of the Corporation. See Minn. Stat. Sections 62D.12, subd. 9 and 317A.251. UCare's bylaws describe an executive committee subject to the control of the Board and with the authority to only meet between scheduled meetings of the Board and to take actions on certain matters. This executive committee rarely is convened and did not meet during 2017. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a UCare's Board of Directors consists of 15 Directors. Under UCare's bylaws, the Chair of the Board had the authority to appoint five physician Directors from the University Of Minnesota Medical School. Department of Family Medicine and the Dean of the Medical School appoints one Director. In addition, two Directors (including the Chair) are Directors by virtue of their positions in the Department. Individuals enrolled in UCare's health plans have the right under the bylaws, and consistent with Minn. Stat. 62D.06, to elect six of the Board of Directors among the enrolled members. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b In addition to the powers set forth in Wisconsin law for members, UCare Minnesota has reserved to itself the following powers concerning the governance of the Corporation, which shall be expressed through the UCare Minnesota Board of Directors: (a) The approval of any plans of merger or consolidation by the Corporation with any foreign or domestic Corporation, voluntary dissolution of the Corporation, or any sales, lease, or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets; (b) the approval of the grant of a security interest in all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or the guarantee of any indebtedness before such security interest or guarantee becomes legally binding, and (c) the amendment of the articles of incorporation or bylaws. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 is prepared by the Controller and reviewed by an independent accounting firm. UCare provides a copy and reviews the detail of the completed 990 Form with the Board's Finance and Audit Committee. UCare also provides a copy of the completed 990 Form to all members of the Board of Directors via on-line portal prior to the Finance and Audit Committee's report to the Board. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, the 990 Form is filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c UCare requires completion of an annual questionnaire by its Board members, Officers, and Senior Executive, which is designed to surface potential conflicts of interest. In addition, UCare's policy requires disclosure to the Board Chair and/or CEO of a potential conflict involving a Director, Officer, or management staff when a particular transaction arises. If the Board or designated Board Committee determines that a potential conflict exists related to a transaction requiring action by the Board, the policy calls for the Board member with the potential conflict to abstain from voting. In addition, a majority of the disinterested Directors must find that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the operation and that the organization could not reasonably find a more advantageous transaction from another entity without a potential conflict. In practice, UCare seeks to manage certain business matters so that they are not subject to action by the Board or Senior Executives where a potential conflict exists. For example, the Board includes members who are enrolled in UCare's health plans, and the benefit designs and premium amounts of such plans are not brought before the Board for action. The policy also requires disclosure of potential conflicts to the Board or designated committee even for transactions not requiring board action. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 On an annual basis, UCare's Compensation Committee reviews and approves the President and CEO's total cash compensation, including base pay and incentive pay. Benefits are reviewed, as described below, every two to three years, with the most recent review in 2017. The Compensation Committee is composed of independent members of the Board of Directors. UCare engages an independent consultant organization that specializes in advising health care organizations about Executive compensation issues. The independent consultant organization conducts a comparability analysis that incorporates multiple industry surveys and compensation for comparable positions at peer organizations. The independent consultant organization then shares the results of this comparability analysis with the Compensation Committee. After deliberation about the comparability analysis and recommendations, the Committee evaluates the annual cash compensation package for the President & CEO. The Committee brings recommendations about CEO base compensation and incentive opportunity to the Board for approval, and reports other actions taken by the Committee to the Board. Minutes are recorded contemporaneously to accurately document the Committee's discussions and actions, and the independent consultant organization's report is retained for recordkeeping purposes. The Compensation Committee also participates in the compensation process for other Senior Executives, including the Treasurer & Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer; the Senior Vice President/Chief Legal Officer; the Senior Vice President/Chief Medical Officer; the Secretary & Senior Vice President/Chief Administrative Officer, and the Senior Vice President of Public Affairs/Chief Marketing Officer. The process for determining compensation for these positions follows a compensation philosophy approved by the Board of Directors. Every two to three years, an independent consultant organization conducts a comparability analysis for these positions, focusing on total compensation data including base pay, incentive pay, and benefits for comparable positions at peer organizations. The President and CEO's position is also included in this comparability analysis. The most recent analysis occurred in 2017. The Compensation Committee receives and discusses the analysis and recommendations with the independent consultant organization, and provides input for the President & CEO in determining cash compensation for the Officers and Senior Executives. The Compensation Committee has delegated specific cash compensation approval for these leaders to the President & CEO, who is an independent person with respect to these compensation determinations, provided that the President & CEO follows the board-approved compensation philosophy, takes into account the comparability analysis, and obtains annual review by the committee. The Committee's discussion and input are reflected in contemporaneous documentation, and a copy of the independent consultant organization's report is retained.
