– Mobile platforms that facilitate symptom-to-service capability (Aetna’s iTriage app)

Consumers want more health, not more treatment

Care Delivery Innovation

Medical Homes– Primary care physician will navigate patient through the

health care delivery system– Quality/Efficiency/Outcomes – how the delivery system

will be measured and compensated– Networks customized for certain industries (hospitality)– Must be of value to the consumer

Goal is not to Pay Less for Care but to Pay for Less Care

How Insurance will be Purchased/PackagedPublic and private exchanges will influence purchasing dynamics

• Exchanges are here to stay• Public exchanges will become more functional over

time and proper for subsidy eligible consumers• Private exchanges will innovate & flourish

– Offer exceptional on-line consumer buying experience (Amazon, Priceline)

– Keep employers connected to employees from a benefits perspective

– Customize insurance plan offerings based on individual circumstances

Supporting ACA Law Evolution

Restore consumer choice & relevancy for small companies & individuals• Essential Health Benefits are a good start, but benefit

flexibility is required to strike a proper balance among coverage, cost and need (over-insured)• Rating Algorithm Enhancements• Incentives to attract young healthy population into the

insurance pool• Consumer needs should drive changes in the law
