6 plans without such benefit. The Trustees asked American Specialty Health as HMSA and
7 Kaiser’s subcontractor to provide information regarding their network, a description of the
8 benefit and covered practices, and any cost benefit analysis. Mr. Allan Nogra, American
Specialty Health, provided some of the information. Mr. Mizuno noted that Mr. Nogra9
was asked to provide information on the proposed pricing and is not as familiar with the10
items asked. Mr. Mizuno requested that this item be deferred to the June 23, 2020 board11
meeting.12

waiving the portion of EUTF Administrative Rule 4.11(b) related to cancellation due to38
non-payment for the normally scheduled terminations in June 2020. EUTF staff will39

SUBJECT: Proposed Chiropractic Benefit (Part 2)
As a follow up to the Board memo dated May 21, 2020 on the chiropractic benefit proposal for EUTF retirees, this memo addresses the following:
1. The clinical and cost saving benefit of having chiropractic coverage2. Prevalence among Segal, HMSA, and KP clients with chiropractic coverage3. Provider network in the State4. Updated rate impact from Humana
The American Specialty Health, Inc. response to EUTF questions states that chiropractic care is recognized as an effective treatment to manage back pain. Chiropractic care is an alternative to more costly, and sometimes invasive, treatment such as surgery, inpatient care, and physical therapy.
The following is a summary of the prevalence among Segal, HMSA, and KP clients with chiropractic coverage:
Segal HMSA KP Prevalence 100% of State
governments surveyed (17)*
96% of accounts and 25% of self-insured/ Union accounts have
chiro coverage
47% of membership
Actives only 5.9% (NE only) of State governments
surveyed
66% of self-insured/ Union accounts with
chiro coverage
50% of active members
Retirees only -- -- 5% of retiree members Both actives and retirees
94.1% of State governments suveyed
34% of self-insured/ Union accounts with
chiro coverage
--
* States included in Segal’s survey are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas,Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.California, Oregon, and Washington are not Segal clients but were included in Segal’s survey. Segal did not surveyany state clients without chiro coverage.
EUTF’s Mission: We care for the health and well being of our beneficiaries by striving to provide quality benefit plans that are affordable, reliable, and meet their changing needs. We provide informed service that is excellent, courteous, and compassionate.

June 17, 2020 Page 2
HMSA and KP subcontract with American Specialty Health, Inc. (ASH) for its chiropractic provider network, and coverage is limited to ASH’s network. Humana, on the other hand, contracts with its chiropractors individually, but offers the same level of coverage in and out of network.
Island Licensed Practitioners ASH Humana Hawaii 61 35 57.4% 3 4.9% Kauai 25 10 40.0% 1 4.0% Maui 70 35 50.0% 6 8.6% Oahu 201 145 72.1% 12 6.0% Total 357 225 63.0% 22 6.2%
The rate impact for the HMSA and KP plans remain the same as provided in the 5/21/20 memo. However, Humana has offered to waive its rate impact for the life of the contract, 1/1/21-12/31/24. Humana believes that chiropractic claims will be offset by a decrease in medical claims.

FROM: Lara Nitta, Health Benefits Specialist
SUBJECT: Proposed Chiropractic Benefit
In RFP 20-003 for Medical Benefits and Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, offerors were asked to provide the rate impact to add a chiropractic benefit to the EUTF retiree medical plans as the EUTF retirees are the only group currently without such a benefit (up to 20 visits per calendar year at $15/visit for EUTF actives and $12/visit for HSTA VB actives and retirees). Below is a summary of the final negotiated rates.
Proposal: Add a $15/visit (up to 20 visits per calendar year) chiropractic benefit for EUTF retirees medical plans effective 1/1/21. The chiropractic benefit would be administered through American Specialty Health, Inc. (ASH) under the medical plan, regardless of whether the plan is fully or self-insured.
Pros: Aligns with the EUTF active benefit.
Cons: Rate impact. Concerns related to the ongoing Dannenberg litigation.

6/12/2020 ACA OOP Limit for 2021 & Guidance on Rx Coupons | Segal
Compliance News | May 12, 2020
ACA OOP Limit for 2021 & Guidance on Rx Manufacturer Coupons On May 7, 2020, the Department of Health andHuman Services (HHS) issued a �nal notice withimportant information for group health plans that arenot grandfathered under the A�ordable Care Act(ACA).
The notice includes the �nal indexed amounts for2021 for the ACA-required out-of-pocket (OOP) limitfor non-grandfathered plans.
HHS also makes it clear that plan sponsors maycontinue to decide whether and when the value ofcoupons or other forms of direct support from drugmanufacturers count toward the ACA-required OOPlimit. Plan sponsors should clearly communicate theplan’s rules on such coupon programs toparticipants.
Out-of-pocket limits for 2021Out-of-pocket maximums for non-grandfathered plans are indexed each year. The limits for 2021 will be:$8,550 for single coverage and $17,100 for other coverage tiers.
The IRS has not yet announced the di�erent (and lower) limits that will apply to high-deductible healthplans (HDHPs) paired with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Rx coupons and other forms of direct supportfrom manufacturersHHS is �nalizing the �exible approach proposed in February 2020 (discussed in our February 10, 2020 webpost). As a result, it is now clear that plan sponsors (and health insurers) have complete �exibility indeciding whether and when the value of manufacturer coupons (or other forms of direct support) counttoward the ACA-required OOP limit. The exception is when an applicable state law requires a di�erentapproach.

6/12/2020 ACA OOP Limit for 2021 & Guidance on Rx Coupons | Segal
This announcement represents a major turnaround from the approach initially taken by HHS in early 2019.That approach generated confusion, leading HHS, along with the other federal departments implementingthe ACA, to issue an answer to a frequently asked question (FAQ) in August 2019. In that FAQ, thedepartments announced an enforcement safe harbor under which plan sponsors were permitted tocontinue to decide when to count coupons toward the ACA-required OOP limit, pending issuance offurther guidance from HHS. (We discussed that FAQ in our August 27, 2019 web post.)
The latest guidance is included in the �nal Notice of Bene�t and Payment Parameters for 2021, which isscheduled to be published in the May 14, 2020 Federal Register.
The immediate implicationsWith the enforcement safe harbor announced last August still in e�ect, and the clear approach taken in the�nal notice released on May 7, 2020, plan sponsors can continue to count or exclude these coupons fromthe ACA’s OOP limit, whichever approach is provided for in the governing plan documents. HHSencourages plan sponsors to be transparent in plan materials about whether and when these couponscount toward the plan’s deductible and/or OOP limit.
Questions remain about whether plan sponsors of HSA-quali�ed HDHPs may count these coupons andother forms of direct manufacturer support toward the HDHP’s deductible. HHS states in this notice thatTreasury and the IRS are reviewing the comments HHS received on this issue to determine if additionalguidance is needed.
Under the federal anti-kickback statute, manufacturer coupons cannot be o�ered with respect to drugspaid for by any federal health care program, including Medicare, Medicaid or Part D. Some state programsmay also not be eligible for coupon programs. Legal counsel should review the applicability of any programthat is proposed for retirees or a governmental employer.
On all issues involving the interpretation or application of laws and regulations, plan sponsors should discuss the issues raised here with theirlegal, tax and other advisors before determining how the issues apply to their speci�c situations.

6/12/2020 Indexed Amount for PCORI Fee | Segal
Compliance News | June 10, 2020
Indexed Amount for PCORI Fee
July 31, 2020 is the deadline for calendar-year grouphealth plans to pay the ACA’s comparativee�ectiveness research fee for the 2019 plan year.On June 8, 2020, in Notice 2020-44, the TreasuryDepartment and IRS announced the indexed amountper covered life needed to calculate the fee: $2.54(up from $2.45 for the previous year).
This new rate of $2.54 per covered life also appliesto any plan year that ends on or after October 1,2019 and before October 1, 2020. However, thepayment deadline di�ers depending on the calendaryear in which the plan year ends.
Limited transition reliefNotice 2020-44 also provides limited transition relief a�ecting how plan sponsors of self-insured plans (aswell as insurers) calculate the number of covered lives. For plan years ending on or after October 1, 2019and before October 1, 2020, plan sponsors (and insurers) may use any reasonable method to calculate theaverage number of covered lives.
Plan sponsors using a reasonable method to do this calculation must use that method consistently for theduration of the plan year.
Plan sponsors may still choose to use one of the three usual methods for calculating the fee: the actual-count method, the snapshot method or the Form 5500 method. (Those methods are described on the IRSwebsite.)
Brief background on the feeThe comparative e�ectiveness research fee is commonly referred to as the PCORI fee. That’s because thePatient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is partially funded through collection of this feefrom insurers and self-insured group health plans. PCORI conducts research evaluating and comparinghealth outcomes and assesses the clinical e�ectiveness, risks and bene�ts of medical treatments.
The section of the ACA about PCORI and related regulations refer to plan years “ending” before or afterspeci�c dates (rather than the more common terminology of plan years “beginning” on or after certaindates). Consequently, it can be di�cult to follow IRS guidance about which rate applies to which plan years
https://www.segalco.com/consulting-insights/indexed-amount-for-pcori-fee 1/2
6/12/2020 Indexed Amount for PCORI Fee | Segal
and determine the deadline for paying the fee. The �ling deadline for a 2019 calendar-year plan is July 31,2020. However, the �ling deadline for a plan year that ends in January 2020 through September 2020would be July 31, 2021, because those plan years end in 2020.

1 For 2014 only, the Affordable Care Act’s OOP limits were the same as the OOP maximums applicable to a Health Savings Account (HSA) offered with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). (Space constraints prevent us from showing columns of 2014 and 2015 data in the table above. If you need data for those years, an older version of this document is available.) For 2015 and beyond, the Affordable Care Act’s OOP limits are not indexed to the HSA/HDHP amounts. The HSA/HDHP amounts are shown later in this chart for ease of reference.
2 The employer shared responsibility penalty is found in section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code. There are two branches of the employer shared responsibility penalty. The 4980H(a) penalty is based on the total number of full-time employees. It is triggered if the employer fails to offer coverage to a certain percentage of its full-time employees and one full-time employee receives subsidized Exchange/Marketplace coverage.
3 The 4980H(b) penalty is based on the number of full-time employees who are not offered affordable, minimum value coverage by the employer and who receive subsidized Exchange/Marketplace coverage instead of employer coverage.

5 Those over age 55 before the end of the taxable year can make an HSA catch-up contribution of $1,000 each year. 6 On March 5, 2018 in Revenue Procedure 2018-18, the maximum family contribution was reduced to $6,850 from the $6,900 maximum announced on May 4, 2017 in Revenue Procedure 2017-37.
On April 26, 2018 in Revenue Procedure 2018-27, the IRS reverted back to the $6,900 maximum family contribution in response to requests it received from plan sponsors. 7 Employers may use any FPL in effect within six months before the start of the plan year. Higher levels apply to individuals working in Alaska and Hawaii. 8 The calculations for 2015 use 9.56% as the applicable multiplier, as permitted by Treasury Notice 2015-87. 9 The calculations for 2016 use 9.66% as the applicable multiplier, as permitted by Treasury Notice 2015-87.
10 The calculations for 2017 use 9.69% as the applicable multiplier, as permitted by answers to FAQs. 11 Note that the maximum monthly amount decreased for 2018 because the calculation uses 9.56% as the applicable multiplier (the multiplier for 2017 was 9.69%, as noted in footnote 10).
See Revenue Procedure 2017-36. 12 This calculation for 2018 uses 9.56% as the applicable multiplier. See footnote 11. 13 The calculations for 2019 use 9.86% as the applicable multiplier. See Revenue Procedure 2018-34. 14 Note that the maximum monthly amount decreased for a plan year beginning January 1, 2020, because this calculation uses 9.78% as the applicable multiplier.

the 2017 Medicare Part B premium reimbursement adjustment.
b. MSB Staffing Update
There are currently three (3) vacancies in the Member Services Branch. Due to the hiring
freeze, recruitment has been placed on hold for the two (2) MSRs and one (1) MSR Clerk.
c. Outreach & Training
The Outreach & Training Team conducted four pre-retirement webinars during the month of

divorce, and when to expect new insurance ID cards. The training videos are available for
active employees, retirees, and employers to view on-demand in the Learning Center on the
EUTF website.
d. 2020 Active Employee Open Enrollment

TO: Board of Trustees
FROM: Ray Kan, Information Systems Chief
SUBJECT: May – June 2020 Information Systems (IS) Operations Report
This report covers the period from May 16, 2020 through June 12, 2020. This report provides
updates on certain key IS items. Additional details will be provided at the Board of Trustees
meeting or upon request.
a. EUTF New Benefits Administration System (BAS) Project
EUTF has executed a contract with Morneau Shepell (BAS solution) and Segal (project
management). A kick-off meeting was held on June 4, 2020 which was attended by Morneau
Shepell, Segal, and the IV&V vendor Accuity LLP, along with EUTF administrative staff,
managers, and supervisors.
b. V3 Benefits Administration System Modified Phase II (Employer File Feed)
The Modified Phase II project’s goal is to deliver an electronic system to receive Employee
demographic data and import into the BAS to reduce manual processing.
After further testing and consultation with Vitech, and to potentially receive data from the
State’s new HIPAY payroll system in the future, EUTF has made changes to the phases in
the deployment of the Employer File Feed. Phase 1 will include terminations, leave without
pay (including military and family medical leave), and terminations due to death. Phase 2
will include address updates, standardization, new hire/rehire demographic information, and
validation. Phase 3 will include batch processing and reporting.
Phase 1 was deployed to EUTF’s V3 Production Environment on March 19, 2019 to allow
EUTF to do mass terminations of employees enrolled only in life insurance plans which do
not require COBRA notices to be mailed or address updates. Once Phase 2 (address updates)
is implemented, all terminations will be processed from the files received from employers.
An updated Phase 2 fix was deployed to EUTF’s V3 UAT Test Environment on June 8, 2020
which fixed issues regarding date of birth not being updated in specific instances and address
EUTF’s Mission: We care for the health and well being of our beneficiaries by striving to provide quality benefit plans that are
affordable, reliable, and meet their changing needs. We provide informed service that is excellent, courteous, and compassionate.

CVS Health Walk-In Servicing There were 0 CVS Health members that visited the customer service office on Bishop Street during the month of May 2020. Walk-in service is currently closed due to COVID-19 precautions.
Operational Issues Pertaining to EUTF Members:We performed an internal review of the EUTF’s plan design mid-2019 and discovered that:
1. Non-preferred insulin and diabetic supplies was being processed at a $15 copay instead of a $25 copay,2. Claims processed for 31-60 day supply was not adjudicating with two copays, but one copay, and3. The 90 day supply requirement for maintenance drugs was not rejecting properly after the third 30-day fill.
Impacted members were notified in writing on 2/13/2020. All coding has been corrected as of 1/30/2020 and a service warranty is in progress to reprocess impacted claims and to determine any reimbursement to the EUTF for amounts that were overpaid due to these coding issues.
UPDATE 6/5/20 – CVS Health is performing the 2nd phase of the service warranty for non-Medicare retiree plans. This is a manual evaluation to review pricing accuracy. The targeted completion date was 5/21/20, but has been extended. The account team is working with the SW team to get an updated completion date.
The initial validation for the active claims for the period of 2016 – 2020 were completed as of 5/14/20. The account team identified a few system updates that are currently in progress. Once those updates are complete, we will perform a 2nd validation of these claims in preparation for the 2nd phase to manually evaluate the pricing accuracy.

CVS Health Opens 2 New Drive-Thru Test Sites in Hawaii as Part of Nationwide COVID-19 Response
Completes the company’s commitment to establish 1,000 test sites by end of May
WOONSOCKET, R.I., Thursday, May 28, 2020 — Building on the company’s comprehensive efforts to help slow the spread of the virus, on Friday, May 29 CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) will open two new COVID-19 test sites at select Longs Pharmacy drive-thru locations in Hawaii.
These new sites will utilize self-swab tests and deliver on the company’s commitment to establish 1,000 locations across the country by the end of May as originally announced on April 27. These new test sites help enable a goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month,subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity.
“CVS Health has been at the forefront of helping our nation scale-up COVID-19 testing capabilities, and we’re proud to meet our goal of establishing 1,000 testing sites in communities across the country,” Larry J. Merlo, President and CEO, CVS Health. “Opening access to testing in more locations using our drive-thru window represents an important milestone in our response to the pandemic. We remain grateful for the daily efforts and sacrifices of our front-line colleagues who make the continued expansion of our testing possible.”
More than half of the company’s 1,000 test sites will serve communities with the greatest need for support, as measured by the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. The index tracks a variety of census variables including poverty, lack of access to transportation, and crowded housing that may weaken a community’s ability to prepare for and recover from hazardous events like natural disasters and disease outbreaks.
Self-swab tests will be available to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, in addition to state and age guidelines. Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday, May 29 to schedule an appointment. Patients will be required to stay in their cars and will be directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window, where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions, and a CVS Pharmacy team member will observe the self-swab process to ensure it is done properly. Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in approximately three days.
Testing will not take place inside any retail locations, and CVS Pharmacy, HealthHUB and MinuteClinic will continue to serve customers and patients.
The new testing sites in Hawaii include:
Longs Pharmacy, 95 – 1077 Ainamakua Drive, Mililani, HI 96789
Longs Pharmacy, 1130 Kuala Street, Pearl City, HI 96782

2019 TREND RESULTS
Partnering to Support You and Your Members Lowest trend in 5 years
Industry-leading trend performance
41% of clients had negative trend
In 2019, we helped our clients achieve the lowest overall trend in years —
1.4 percent — despite increasing utilization and ongoing price inflation.
Specialty pharmaceuticals remain the key management challenge, dominating
the pipeline and spurring utilization growth, yet we kept specialty trend in the
single digits through a number of focused strategies, including holding unit price
growth to 1.6 percent. In the 2019 Drug Trend Report, we highlight the results of
some of those strategies — including prioritization of generics and biosimilars,
and careful management of utilization — as well as share our perspective about
future marketplace trends.
We achieved these results in trend while helping payors reduce out-of-pocket
costs for their plan members. More than two out of three members spent less
than $100 out of pocket in 2019. The average member cost for a 30-day supply
actually declined by an average of $1.50.
The report that follows details these and other initiatives we have in place to
help our customers manage drug expenditures while supporting better health
outcomes for members.
We are living in an unprecedented health crisis and as part of the national health
care system, CVS Health has a key role to play. Our nearly 300,000 colleagues
are working hard to provide consistent access to needed medications and health
services while also helping our clients provide essential benefits and affordable
prescriptions to their employees and members.
These past difficult months have only reinforced our commitment to helping
you, our clients, meet your goals by working together and helping you and your
members improve outcomes and control costs. The need to work in partnership
has never been greater.

2019 Trend Results
CVS Health Drug Trend Report 2019

As soon as local and state governments began issuing shelter-at-home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took several proactive steps to ensure that your members, especially those with chronic or complex conditions, had continued access to needed medications.
In response to the pandemic:
We helped members transition to 90-day supplies to ensure they had
needed supplies on-hand and could limit pharmacy visits.
Working with clients, we implemented both an early refill restriction override
and measures to ensure on-time refills.
To further support stay-at-home measures, CVS Pharmacy waived delivery charges.
Because members may have found it difficult to see their health care
providers during the pandemic — and until the country reopens more
fully — we extended previously-approved prior authorizations, enabling
members to refill most medications without having to renew the authorization.
This also serves to reduce the volume of phone calls and other administrative
burdens on physicians’ offices and pharmacies.
In order to ensure access to medications that could potentially be found effective in treating the virus, both for patients already using these
agents for their accepted indication and for potential COVID-19 patients, we
worked with clients to set appropriate limits on the dispensing quantity of
drugs under consideration. Members with existing prescriptions for these
drugs can bypass these quantity limits.
Now, as the country begins to reopen, we remain focused on supporting their health and pharmacy needs.

Our strategies helped clients stay ahead of evolving market trends Our job is to be the best manager of our clients’ pharmacy benefit by eliminating wasteful spend and reducing inefficient spend, while encouraging impactful spend to help reduce medical costs. In 2019, we stayed the course, delivering historically low trend despite an uptick in utilization.
Through smart formulary and utilization management strategies, we helped prioritize lower-cost and generic options when clinically appropriate. Our solutions helped deliver negative price growth for non-specialty drugs and very low price growth for specialty drugs, despite brand inflation remaining at twice the U.S. Consumer Price Index.
This enabled us to deliver low net trend and single-digit specialty trend for a broad cross-section of clients, covering more than 25 million commercially-insured lives.

Managing specialty, the fastest-growing area of pharmacy spend
For successful cost control now and into the future, specialty spend must be managed with laser-like focus and precision. In addition to formulary strategies, our management programs — including specialty guideline management (SGM) which helps ensure appropriate utilization, and new-to-market (NTM) strategy which carefully reviews all newly launched products for clinical and cost effectiveness prior to formulary inclusion — helped clients control costs while ensuring appropriate utilization and member access.
To help payors stay ahead of changing marketplace trends, as always, we continue to evolve our solutions including our SGM criteria.

2019 SPECIALTY TREND
CVS Health Drug Trend Report 2019
Specialty treatments now comprise nearly half of all pharmacy spend, and the total specialty spend for pharmacy and medical benefit combined is estimated to grow to $310 billion by 2023. Inflation on existing brands continues to play an important role, but utilization growth, at 7.7 percent, was the major trend contributor in 2019 — accounting for 80 percent of specialty trend. New treatments are being developed for more conditions, and specialty drugs already on the market continue to obtain approval for additional indications, leading to an ever-expanding patient population. These patients have higher overall costs and complex care needs.

Specialty management: tackling the highest-cost category New autoimmune treatments being approved and supplemental indications for existing ones led to increased utilization, with the category accounting for a third of specialty pharmacy spending. Drugs in the category are used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn’s disease and include some of the highest volume drugs — Humira, Enbrel, Rituxan, and Remicade. Currently, the category faces little generic or biosimilar competition. Without careful management of this category, payors risk sharp utilization and cost increases.

The evolving specialty marketplace The trend of specialty treatments being the fastest growing spend category in the pharmacy benefit is likely to continue, as is that of higher launch prices. Price tags for currently approved gene therapies range from $475,000 for Kymriah to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia, to approximately $2 million for Zolgensma, a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy among pediatric patients.2,3 While most of these treatments will be covered under the medical benefit, they will be a significant cost consideration for payors who will need innovative solutions to mitigate the impact.
Manufacturers also continue to seek supplemental indications to increase sales and gain longer patent exclusivity. Changes at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are likely to help expedite approvals, potentially bringing new drugs to market more quickly. Both of these factors will lead to a greater number of members using specialty medications. Payors will need nimble strategies that evolve with the marketplace to help them stay ahead of emerging trends.

The FDA has approved a total of 26 biosimilars, of which 17 products have launched.5 There are many more in the pipeline. As more biosimilars come to market increasing competition within the therapeutic category, there will be greater opportunity for significant savings for payors.

Helping clients maximize generic savings in specialty Our strategies encourage the use of generics to lower costs by preferring the cost-effective equivalent on our formulary, thus maximizing what is known as the Generic Substitution Rate or GSR.
By focusing on clinically appropriate generics, CVS Specialty helps payors save money by taking advantage of competition within therapeutic categories and we will continue to maximize their value as more competing generics come to market.

An ongoing challenge — oncology New cancer therapies continue to drive utilization and price growth. More than 20 percent of new FDA approvals in 2019 were cancer medications — 12 of 54. In addition, treatment prices continue to increase, and the category has low interchangeability. Given that we estimate oncology represents 8.7 percent of total pharmacy spend and 18.3 percent of specialty pharmacy spend, innovative management strategies for this class are imperative. With more new drugs — including gene therapies — in development and an expedited review process at the FDA, this therapeutic category will continue to be a major challenge for clients.
Transform Oncology Care, launched in 2019, uses technology and the latest genomic science to solve some of the biggest challenges in oncology management today. Better cancer care management — tailored to patient needs and plan goals — can enhance quality of care and outcomes, while helping lower the overall cost of treating this complex condition. For example, helping patients who are on certain infused medications transition from a costly outpatient hospital setting to a more effective site of care can lower costs for payors while making it more convenient for members.
Transform Oncology Care strives to improve the oncology patient and physician experience by making it easier for providers to access the latest clinical guidelines, and empowering evidence-based decision making.

We enabled clients to eliminate wasteful spend on high-cost drugs that did not demonstrate a clear clinical benefit by developing and implementing strategies to ensure the appropriate use of drugs through utilization management.
In addition to negotiating discounts from manufacturers on behalf of our clients, we use our industry-leading formulary strategies — including preferred placement and drug exclusions — to encourage use of lower-cost and generic options. Through utilization management (UM) options such as drug utilization review, new-to-market strategy, and specialty guideline management, we help ensure that members are getting the right drug at the right time.

In 2017, we were the first in the industry to introduce a hyperinflation management program that targeted drugs experiencing extremely high inflation year-over-year. Last year, based on the success of the initial program, we expanded the strategy to include drugs that were price outliers — sometimes exponentially more expensive — compared to clinically equivalent treatments in the same category. For instance, one brand of extended-release metformin cost more than $620 for a 30-day supply compared to just $3.43 for the preferred alternative. Clients opting in to the hyperinflation strategy could reduce their spend on that single product by more than 99 percent.
As part of this strategy, we monitor our template formularies on an ongoing basis and remove hyperinflated drugs to help clients stay ahead of marketplace trends. Our hyperinflation strategy gives clients ongoing, dynamic control of drug spend by targeting drugs that see high year-over-year inflation, or are outliers in terms of price compared to other available clinically equivalent alternatives, quickly excluding such therapies from the formulary on an ongoing basis.

Management strategies key to negative diabetes trend despite ongoing inflation More than 34 million — about one in 10 — Americans have diabetes.6 For years, diabetes drug trend was a major contributor to overall trend, driven in large part by ongoing brand inflation for diabetes drugs. Effective formulary strategy is the cornerstone to managing costs. Our template managed formularies are designed to maximize cost savings for clients by using competition to drive to lowest net costs through discounts negotiated with manufacturers and careful formulary placement. This is especially important because so-called low-list price products that manufacturers tout as cost-effective alternatives, in reality, don’t lower cost for clients. Our strategies continued to help blunt the impact of price inflation as evidenced by the significant difference in trend and per-member-per-month costs for managed clients compared to unmanaged ones.

A comprehensive strategy for controlled substances and prescription safety Our industry-first comprehensive controlled substances strategy helps encourage appropriate prescribing by giving clients the option to implement not just days’ supply limitations but also restrictions on the morphine milligram equivalent (MME), and step therapy requirements for extended-release opioids. The strategy was developed by CVS Health in alignment with guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
These strategies are designed to help ensure members have access to the medications they need, while encouraging appropriate prescribing. The strong positive results from the opioid management strategy also helped shape our new Prescription Safety Management solution, which includes preventive measures such as alerts for therapy duplication and drug interactions, and is designed to enhance safe prescribing for all medications.

Lowering prescription costs for members In addition to higher drug costs, increasing rates of chronic disease and the rising use of high deductible health plans (HDHP) have put additional financial stress on many consumers. In 2019, HDHPs covered 30 percent of consumers, compared to 24 percent in 2015.7 Cost can be a barrier to adherence and higher out-of-pocket costs can force individuals to make tough choices about whether or not to fill a prescription.
In order to help members afford their medications and to support better overall outcomes, we have developed a range of strategies to address out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. Members can access prescription cost and real-time benefit information wherever they are: at the doctor’s office, the pharmacy, at home, or on the go. We advocate for the inclusion of $0 copay preventive drug lists in high-deductible health plans, offer it to our own employees and recommend clients adopt it for their plans. We were also the first in the industry to begin offering point-of-sale rebates, so clients can pass on part or all of the discounts we negotiate from the manufacturer to their members at the point of dispensing helping lower costs during the deductible phase. Along with essential strategies such as formulary designs that promote the use of lower-cost drug options, these initiatives have helped lower OOP costs per 30-day prescription and reduced member cost share. Two out of three members spent less than $100 OOP in 2019.

Tailored solutions helped improve adherence Research shows that 24 percent of Americans find it hard to afford prescriptions and 29 percent skipped doses because of costs.8 By holding down member costs, we helped ensure that more members were able to afford their medications, thus reducing a key barrier to adherence.
Aligned with our goal of helping clients control their overall benefit costs, we have also tailored programs to better support members in staying adherent to prescribed regimens. Our Pharmacy Advisor program has been proven to help members improve adherence for key chronic conditions. The program has delivered 54 million interventions since 2011. We are further enhancing the program to even better identify members most at risk for non-adherence. Better adherence not only helps improve outcomes, it can also save money for payors from avoidable downstream costs. Because patients with complicated conditions face particular challenges, we also offer care programs such as Transform Diabetes Care. Each program provides ongoing, targeted intervention and outreach from pharmacists and clinicians. These programs help ensure each member receives support tailored to their unique needs.
Implementing such care management solutions helps ensure that members don’t fall off therapy because of side effects or drug interactions and leads to better adherence.

• Complaints:HMSA’s organization is set up with an initiative known as First Call Resolution (FCR).FCR is the concept that members should only have to contact HMSA one time with theirconcern/inquiry for it to be resolved. Although members’ inquiries may not be resolvedduring the first call, the idea is that the member should not have to call HMSA again aftertheir initial contact.
If a member is not satisfied with a response by a customer service representative, the member is provided with HMSA’s Appeals Rights and Processes. If a member decides to submit a formal Appeal with HMSA, HMSA begins tracking the member complaint through our Appeals Department, which is the information that we have provided below.

VSP Vision Care
EUTF Monthly Carrier Report – May 2020
• Operational Issues Pertaining to EUTF Members:
VSP continues to operate as a predominantly remote workforce. All staff, who are working remotely have
the same access to VSP systems as they would have on campus or regional offices and services are not
impacted due to this change. This includes the VSP Hawaii Office.
TEMPORARY ESSENTIAL MEDICAL EYE CARE SERVICES – Extended through June 30, 2020
What’s happening?
At VSP® Vision Care, we’re committed to doing our part to “flatten the curve” and protect the health
and safety of our members. That’s why, through the month of May, VSP has expanded access to
medical eye care services for most VSP members and their covered dependents. It’s effective April 1 through May 31, 2020 for members who do not already have this benefit.*
Why?
VSP network doctors do so much more than help with vision correction. They diagnose and treat
conditions including conjunctivitis, eye trauma, and sudden changes in vision. Access to optometrists
during this pandemic allows our members to maintain health and visual acuity while easing the burden
on primary care physicians and emergency rooms. Visiting the ER may increase exposure to disease, as
well as take services away from critically ill patients. We understand the connection between eye care
and overall health, and this expanded access will allow our members to turn to their VSP network
doctor for essential medical eye care services when they need it most.
