| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO | PRIORITY HEALTH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SPECTRUM HEALTH SYSTEM, AN INTEGRATED 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 HEALTHCARE 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 CURRENTLY HAS AN "EXCELLENT" ACCREDITATION FOR ITS HMO PRODUCTS FROM THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA), AN INDEPENDENT MANAGED CARE ACCREDITING BODY. THIS IS THE HIGHEST RATING A HEALTH PLAN CAN EARN. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS EARNED AN "EXCELLENT" RATING EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998. SPECTRUM HEALTH IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, BASED IN WEST MICHIGAN, OFFERING A FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE THROUGH THE SPECTRUM HEALTH HOSPITAL GROUP, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF 12 HOSPITALS; 180 AMBULATORY AND SERVICE SITES; 1,300 PHYSICIANS AND ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS, WHICH INCLUDE 1,100 MEMBERS OF THE SPECTRUM HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP; AND PRIORITY HEALTH, A HEALTH PLAN WITH MORE THAN 600,000 MEMBERS. SPECTRUM HEALTH IS WEST MICHIGAN'S LARGEST EMPLOYER, WITH 22,500 EMPLOYEES. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED $294.6 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT DURING ITS 2014 FISCAL YEAR. SPECTRUM HEALTH IS THE ONLY HEALTH SYSTEM IN MICHIGAN TO BE NAMED ONE OF THE NATION'S 15 TOP HEALTH SYSTEMS BY TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS FOR 2015. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED THIS RECOGNITION. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) ADDED NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONS MUST SATISFY IN ORDER TO BE DESCRIBED IN 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 HEALTHCARE, WHICH INCLUDES IMPROVING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE 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. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | PRIORITY HEALTH PURSUES INITIATIVES THAT WILL IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES WHILE HELPING TO REDUCE THE OVERALL COST TO THE MEMBER. IN 2014 PRIORITY HEALTH LOWERED HEALTH COSTS ACROSS ALL LINES OF BUSINESS BY ALMOST $16 MILLION THROUGH NEW MANAGED CARE INITIATIVES THAT INFLUENCE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, PROMOTE APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE 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 OBTAINING CHRONIC DISEASE, AS WELL AS INITIATIVES TO BETTER MANAGE INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. IN 2014, PRIORITY HEALTH ESTIMATED A SAVINGS OF OVER $16 MILLION ASSOCIATED WITH THESE CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. PEER AND UTILIZATION REVIEW ASSURES THAT SERVICES ARE RENDERED IN A COST EFFICIENT AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE IMPROVES QUALITY AND LOWERS COST. 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. WE CALL THIS VARIATION TO CHALLENGE TREATMENT APPROACH AND ENGAGEMENT OF PATIENTS IN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS. 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 HEALTHCARE AREAS SUCH AS EMERGENCY ROOM 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. PRIORITY HEALTH DEVELOPS AND PUBLISHES PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE GUIDELINES AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE. IN ADDITION, PRIORITY HEALTH USES 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 OF INDIVIDUALS, SMALL GROUPS AND ELDERLY, MAKING UP 50% OF THE MEMBERSHIP BASE. PRIORITY HEALTH PROVIDED COMMUNITY-RATED AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE TO OVER 85,000 MEMBERS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL GROUPS IN 2014. PRIORITY HEALTH ALSO PROVIDES CAPITAL SUPPORT FOR ITS WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC., WHICH PROVIDES ACCESS TO EXCELLENT HEALTHCARE TO OVER 100,000 MEDICAID MEMBERS. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | IN 2013, THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES (DIFS) ADOPTED 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. PRIORITY HEALTH CONTINUES TO OFFER AN EXTENSION OF ITS PRE-ACA INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP HEALTH PLANS TO SUBSCRIBERS THROUGH 2016, WHILE MAJOR COMPETITORS HAVE SHUT DOWN PLANS. THE DECISION TO EXTEND THE 2013 PRE-ACA PLANS FOR COVERAGE THROUGH 2016 IS CONSISTENT WITH PRIORITY HEALTH'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS WITH FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE. IN ADDITION, PRIORITY HEALTH REINSTATED POLICIES IT ALREADY HAD CANCELLED TO COMPLY WITH THE ACA REQUIREMENTS. THE REINSTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY CANCELLED POLICIES GAVE EMPLOYERS AND INDIVIDUALS PEACE OF MIND AND TIME TO ASSESS THEIR OPTIONS BEFORE BEING REQUIRED TO CHANGE PLANS UNDER THE ACA. PRIORITY ALSO BEGAN ENROLLING MEMBERS THROUGH THE FEDERALLY-FACILITATED HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE (HEALTHCARE.GOV) DURING THE 2013 OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD. |

PRIORITY HEALTH PUBLISHED 2 EBOOKS, ONE FOR CONSUMERS AND ONE FOR EMPLOYERS, ON HEALTHCARE REFORM WHICH ARE FREE AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON PRIORITY HEALTH'S WEBSITE. THE GOAL OF THE CONSUMER'S GUIDE TO THE ACA IS TO CLARIFY HOW HEALTHCARE REFORM WILL AFFECT INDIVIDUALS IN MICHIGAN. THE GOAL OF THE GUIDE FOR EMPLOYERS IS TO PROVIDE SUMMARIES AND EXAMPLES AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL TO ASSIST EMPLOYERS' QUESTIONS REGARDING HEALTHCARE REFORM. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PROVIDING ITS MEMBERS WITH ACCESS TO CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING OUTCOMES, LOWERING COST AND IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE. CHRONIC DISEASE, WITH INSIDIOUS PROGRESSION AND MORBID COMPLICATIONS, IS A MASSIVE CLINICAL AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE. PRIORITY HEALTH PROVIDES A 1:1 APPROACH IN WORKING WITH MEMBERS WITH SEVERE AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS. THROUGH INDIVIDUALIZED CARE, SERVICES ARE COORDINATED AND OFFER EARLY INTERVENTION, IMPROVE ACCESS, REDUCE DUPLICATION, IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND REDUCE RESOURCE UTILIZATION.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | THE MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS (MAHP), AN INDUSTRY VOICE FOR THE STATE'S HEALTHCARE PLANS, RECOGNIZES BEST PRACTICES IN HEALTH PLANS BY SPONSORING THE PINNACLE AWARDS. DURING 2014, 11 MICHIGAN HEALTH PLANS FROM ACROSS THE STATE SUBMITTED 37 GROUND-BREAKING PROGRAMS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR MAHP'S ANNUAL PINNACLE AWARDS, SHOWING ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT AND AN INTEREST IN SERVING THEIR MEMBERS AS THEY SEEK TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVE PATIENT HEALTHCARE TO LOWER COSTS AND INCREASE SERVICE TO MICHIGAN CITIZENS.

OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD THE COACHING INCREASED PROGRAM ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION WITH A MODEL THAT KEPT PARTICIPANTS ACCOUNTABLE WITH REGULAR ASSESSMENTS, GOALS AND REFERRALS. THROUGH INTEGRATED TEAM WORK, BEST PRACTICES AND OUTCOMES-BASED REPORTING, THE RETENTION RATE OF MEMBERS COMPLETING 3 MONTHS OF COACHING HAS INCREASED BY 40%, WHICH IN RETURN DECREASES MEMBER RISK LEVELS LEADING TO DIRECT AND INDIRECT COST AVOIDANCE. PRIORITY HEALTH ALSO RECEIVED A 2014 PINNACLE AWARD IN THE CLINICAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT CATEGORY FOR IMPROVING HEALTH IN ADOLESCENTS AMONG THE COMMERCIAL POPULATION.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | IN ADDITION, PRIORITY HEALTH RECEIVED A 2014 PINNACLE AWARD IN THE BUSINESS/OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE CATEGORY FOR VIRTUAL VISITS AMONG THE COMMERCIAL POPULATION. THE DRIVE TO GIVE MEMBERS THE MOST BENEFICIAL AND COST-EFFECTIVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE RESULTED IN PRIORITY HEALTH'S DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF VIRTUAL VISITS. THE NEW TECHNOLOGY ENABLES MEMBERS WITH LESS SERIOUS CONDITIONS TO ACCESS TREATMENT 24/7/365 ONLINE OR ON THE PHONE WITH BOARD-CERTIFIED DOCTORS. A VIRTUAL OPTION MEANS MEMBERS CAN SKIP THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR NON-EMERGENCIES, MAKING VIRTUAL VISITS MORE CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE. FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, 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 AWARD 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. SINCE 2003, WHEN THE QUALITY AWARD WAS ESTABLISHED, MORE THAN 200 HEALTHCARE PRACTICES HAVE BEEN DISTINGUISHED WITH THIS HONOR. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS AWARDED PRACTICES WITH $175 MILLION IN SUPPORT OF PRIMARY CARE, OVER AND ABOVE STANDARD PAYMENT FOR SERVICES.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | PRIORITY HEALTH HAS BEEN A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR PATIENT-CENTERED CARE BY SUPPORTING THE NATIONAL MODEL FOR CHANGING REIMBURSEMENT WHICH INCLUDES PAYMENT FOR SERVICES, PAYMENT FOR PERFORMANCE BASED ON QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT THROUGH A FIXED PAYMENT PER PATIENT. IN 2013, PRIORITY HEALTH JOINED THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY CARE TRANSFORMATION (MIPCT) PROJECT.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH HMO (CONTINUED) | PRIORITY HEALTH IDENTIFIES ALL MEMBERS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED DIABETES AND CONTACTS THEM WITH INFORMATION ABOUT PRIORITY HEALTH PROGRAMS AND BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO THEM. ADDITIONALLY, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, ALL MEMBERS WITH DIABETES ARE NOTIFIED OF DIABETES SPECIFIC SERVICES THAT REQUIRE AND INFORM THEM TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER TO OBTAIN THOSE SERVICES. IN JANUARY 2013, PRIORITY HEALTH PARTNERED WITH THE NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF MICHIGAN TO OFFER A FREE DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM ACROSS THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. THIS PROGRAM IS LED BY A CERTIFIED LIFESTYLE COACH WHO TEACHES PARTICIPANTS ABOUT NUTRITION AND STRESS REDUCTION. THE COACH WORKS ONE-ON-ONE WITH PARTICIPANTS TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES BY TRACKING FOOD INTAKE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. FOR THOSE PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES, PRIORITY HEALTH OFFERS A DIABETES PROGRAM ASSISTING MEMBERS WITH MANAGING DIABETES BY PROVIDING INFORMATION AND TIPS FROM THE HEALTH MANAGEMENT TEAM. THROUGH THE INCENTIVE PROGRAM, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS ARE GIVEN FINANCIAL REWARDS TO MEET NATIONAL 90TH PERCENTILE TARGETS FOR PROVIDING SERVICES AND ACHIEVING BEST OUTCOMES. PRIORITY HEALTH'S RATES FOR MULTIPLE DIABETES MEASURES ARE CONSISTENTLY AT, OR NEAR, THE NATIONAL TOP 10 PERCENTILE PERFORMANCE. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MODELS, THE COST (AND PREVALENCE) OF COMMON DIABETES COMPLICATIONS FOR PRIORITY HEALTH MEMBERS WITH DIABETES IS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW NATIONAL AND MICHIGAN RATES. THE DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM IS CREDITED WITH A 58-71% DECREASE IN THE RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES DEVELOPMENT RATES BY HELPING THOSE AT RISK ADOPT AND MAINTAINING LIFESTYLE CHANGES. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS ENROLLED 48 MEMBERS, WHILE 70 MEMBERS HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM AND HAVE CHARTED A TOTAL OF 1,048 POUNDS LOST WITH AN AVERAGE OF 168 MINUTES OF WEEKLY ACTIVITY. PRIORITY HEALTH ENCOURAGES MEMBERS TO UNDERSTAND THE COST OF CARE WHEN MAKING HEALTHCARE DECISIONS. WITH THE LAUNCH OF HEALTHCARE BLUE BOOK IN AUGUST 2013, PRIORITY HEALTH BECAME THE FIRST MICHIGAN-BASED HEALTH PLAN TO PROVIDE ONLINE INFORMATION ABOUT CONTRACTED HEALTHCARE FEES ALONG WITH QUALITY INFORMATION TO ENGAGE MEMBERS THROUGH "COMPARISON SHOPPING." THE HEALTHCARE BLUE BOOK DISPLAYS PRIORITY HEALTH SPECIFIC FEES FOR MORE THAN 200 COMMON HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING SURGERIES, LAB WORK AND IMAGING TESTS. A KEY FEATURE OF THE HEALTHCARE BLUE BOOK IS THAT IT DISPLAYS THE "FAIR PRICE" FOR EACH PROCEDURE. MEMBERS CAN ALSO REVIEW QUALITY RANKINGS AND CONSUMER REVIEW OF HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS THROUGH HEALTHGRADES TO RECEIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE SERVICE THEY ARE BUYING. THE TOOL SUPPORTS PRIORITY HEALTH'S CONTINUED MARKET LEADERSHIP IN TRANSPARENCY AND WAS LAUNCHED THROUGH A MULTICHANNEL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN RESULTING IN NEARLY 3.1 MILLION GROSS IMPRESSIONS. THE HEALTHCARE BLUE BOOK WILL PROMOTE ENGAGEMENT BY PROVIDING MEMBERS WITH INFORMATION THAT EQUIPS THEM TO MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR HEALTHCARE WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO FIND THE BEST VALUE. THIS TRANSPARENCY TOOL LOWERS THE COST OF CARE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE PRIORITY HEALTH THIRD PARTY LIABILITY (TPL) TEAM HAS CONSISTENTLY IMPROVED OUTCOMES BY INCREASING SAVINGS THROUGH AUDIT, ANALYSIS, AND STANDARDIZATION OF WORK WHILE CONCURRENTLY IMPROVING BOTH MEMBER AND PROVIDER SATISFACTION. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THIS PROGRAM HAS IMPROVED ITS PER-MEMBER PER-MONTH (PMPM) SAVINGS BY 32 PERCENT.

IT WAS WRITTEN BY A PRIORITY HEALTH EMPLOYEE, IN COOPERATION WITH WILEY PUBLISHING, OWNERS OF THE DUMMIES SERIES. THE BOOK HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED FREE TO OVER 255,000 PEOPLE ACROSS MICHIGAN. AS A RESULT OF PRIORITY HEALTH'S WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND DEDICATION TO OFFERING PLANS THAT DELIVER HIGH QUALITY, ITS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS HAVE RECEIVED THE HIGHEST ACCREDITATION STATUS OF "EXCELLENT," WHILE FOUR OF ITS 2014 MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE WERE AWARDED 4.5 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 BETTER THE CARE IS DELIVERED. OF THE 43 QUALITY AND IMPROVEMENTS METRICS USED TO DETERMINE OUR OVERALL QUALITY RATING OF 4.5, APPROXIMATELY 58% OF THE METRICS WERE 5 STAR. PRIORITY HEALTH IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ITS MEMBERS HIGH QUALITY MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS WHILE REMAINING AMONG THE LOWEST COST (RISK AND BENEFIT ADJUSTED) PLANS IN THE COUNTRY. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE (CONTINUED) | DURING THE 2014 MEDICARE ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD (AEP), PRIORITY HEALTH ENROLLED 51.2% OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED A MAPD PLAN IN MICHIGAN FROM OCTOBER 15 - DECEMBER 7, 2013. PRIORITY HEALTH'S MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ENROLLMENT INCLUDES ABOUT 77,000 INDIVIDUAL ADVANTAGE MEMBERS, OR JUST OVER 27% OF THE TOTAL INDIVIDUAL MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MARKET, MAKING PRIORITY HEALTH THE LEADER IN MICHIGAN. AFTER ADDING 10 COUNTIES TO THE SERVICE AREA IN 2014, MEDICARE ADVANTAGE IS NOW OFFERED IN ALL 68 COUNTIES IN MICHIGAN'S LOWER PENINSULA. PRIORITY HEALTH'S NETWORK HAS MORE THAN 32,000 PROVIDERS AND A MEMBER RETENTION RATE OF 97%. 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. THE 2013 PILOT PROJECT RESULTED IN A 47% DECREASE IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS AND INPATIENT ADMISSIONS FOR 90 AT-RISK PATIENTS, WHILE ALSO RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR HEALTH. MOST OF THE PATIENTS IN THE PROGRAM ARE MEMBERS OF PRIORITY HEALTH'S MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH SOME ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID OR PRIVATE INSURANCE.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION - PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE (CONTINUED) | PRIORITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTED A ROBUST MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT (MTM) PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A VENDOR SOLUTION. THE MTM PROGRAM OFFERS 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. IN THE FIRST YEAR, 61% OF THE MORE THAN 16,000 MEMBERS WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PROGRAM WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A COST SAVINGS. IN 2015, PRIORITY HEALTH EXPANDED THE PROGRAM TO COMMERCIAL AND MEDICAID MEMBERS. THIS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL TO RETURN POSITIVE DIRECT DRUG SAVINGS AS WELL AS INDIRECT COST AVOIDANCE. COMPLEX MEDICATION REGIMENS CREATE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES FOR PATIENTS LIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS, THEIR CAREGIVERS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. THE IMPACT OF MEDICATION-RELATED PROBLEMS CAN BE MINIMIZED THROUGH A STRUCTURED MTM PROGRAM THAT USES PHARMACISTS WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE PATIENT AND THE PATIENT'S HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. RETAIL AND OFFICE-BASED PHARMACIST WILL WORK WITH PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS TO ADDRESS DRUG RELATED PROBLEMS AND COMPLETE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICATION REVIEWS. IN 2014, PRIORITY HEALTH ENGAGED OVER 20,000 MEMBERS IN THE PROGRAM, RESULTING IN $1.46 SAVED IN DIRECT DRUG PRODUCT COST FOR EVERY $1 INVESTED IN MTM ($766,992 INVESTED; $1,122,707 SAVED). THE PROGRAM HAD 59% MEMBER ACCEPTANCE AND 87% PRESCRIBER ACCEPTANCE IN 2014. |

THIS INITIATIVE FOCUSES ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PATIENT, AND THE HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT CARE THROUGH DISCHARGE PLANNERS, REHABILITATION THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND PRIORITY HEALTHCARE MANAGERS. DATA-DRIVEN INFORMATION WILL HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES UNDERSTAND WHAT TO EXPECT AT DISCHARGE AND THROUGHOUT THE REHABILITATION PERIOD. THE BENEFITS OF THIS INITIATIVE INCLUDE LOWER HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, OPTIMAL DISCHARGE SETTING EARLIER IN THE HOSPITAL STAY, EASIER MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT/FAMILY EXPECTATIONS, AND IDENTIFYING THE HIGHEST QUALITY PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO REHABILITATION HAS SUCCESSFULLY PROVEN TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS SEEN HOSPITAL READMISSION RATES DECREASE, LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAYS REDUCED BY 15% AND ACCESS TO POST-SURGICAL SERVICES IMPROVE BY 12%. PRIORITY HEALTH HAS A LARGE SKILLED NURSING FACILITY (SNF) NETWORK THAT CARE FOR ITS MEDICARE MEMBERS. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY FOR A PRIORITY HEALTH MEDICARE MEMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 22 DAYS, TWO DAYS LONGER THAN IS COVERED BY PRIORITY HEALTH AND 7 DAYS LONGER THAN THE BENCHMARK. THROUGH THE USE OF THIS VENDOR SOLUTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH SKILLED NURSES, WE ARE TARGETING A REDUCTION OF 4 DAYS IN THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY AS WELL AS A REDUCTION IN RE-ADMISSIONS THROUGH BETTER DISCHARGE PLANNING. DURING 2014, PRIORITY HEALTH ESTIMATES A NET SAVINGS OF NEARLY $3 MILLION DUE TO POST ACUTE CARE INITIATIVES. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The Spectrum Health System Board of Directors (through its Executive Committee) uses the following process for determining compensation of the top management official, other officers, and key employees at Priority Health. Labor market data reflecting comparable organizations and jobs (prepared by independent firms) are relied upon. Competitive assessment reports are provided to the Executive Committee in advance of meetings. The competitive assessment report is prepared by a nationally known independent executive compensation firm and, for calendar 2014 (1/1/14-12/31/14), was based on the following independent surveys of healthcare executives at comparable health systems, health plans, and medical groups: * American Medical Group Association: 2013 Medical Group Compensation & Financial Survey * Chief Executive of Multi-site organizations: 2013 Leading Age-CEMO Leadership Compensation Survey * Integrated Healthcare Strategies: 2013 Children's Hospitals Executive Compensation Survey * Integrated Healthcare Strategies: 2013 Healthcare Executive Compensation Survey * Mercer Human Resources Consulting: 2013 Benchmark Database Executive Survey * Mercer Human Resources Consulting: 2013 Integrated Health Networks Compensation Survey * Medical Group Management Association: 2013 Management Compensation Survey * Sullivan, Cotter and Associates: 2013 Survey of Manager and Executive Compensation in Hospitals and Health Systems * Sullivan, Cotter and Associates: 2013 Survey of Manager and Executive Compensation in Children's Hospitals * Sullivan, Cotter and Associates: 2013 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey Report * Towers Watson: 2013 HealthCare Executive and Management Compensation Survey Report * Towers Watson: 2013 General Industry Top Management Compensation Survey Report * Warren: Fall 2013 The HMO Salary Survey Compensation adjustments are approved by Executive Committee members, consistent with the Spectrum Health compensation philosophy described below. Minutes of Committee discussions and decisions are prepared to memorialize Executive Committee decisions based upon the above data. Cash compensation data relied upon by the Executive Committee is national and reflects the compensation paid to executives in comparable jobs in comparably-sized healthcare and / or health insurance organizations. Spectrum Health recruits nationally for its executives. Benefits data reflect national healthcare / health insurance market practices. Geographic pay differential and cost of living data indicates consistency with national data. 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). |
