  4. Demographics - Overview • The University of Alaska has fewer men than the norm with greater male and female proportions from ages 50 to 64 • Higher employee age/gender factor of 1.13 which translates to above norm per member per year (pmpy) cost profile of approximately 13% • Employees are driving the costs of the plan accounting for 46.6% of the costs whereas the norm has the spouses driving the plan costs. • 0.3% of the University population is driving 16.1% of the costs • 20.0% of the University population is driving 84.4% of the costs • The University of Alaska has a lower than norm proportion of women in child-bearing age with lower pregnancy and neonatal related cost than the norm but neonate UA inpatient cost per neonate per year increased from $2,590 to $5,053 • Approximately 83.6% of the current members have been enrolled for 2 or more years

  24. Brand versus Generic Analysis Norm from Lockton InfoLock Book of Business.

  25. Clinical Risk and Conditions Members included in this section were active plan participants as of the last month of the reporting cycle. Each individual member is assigned a risk score indicating disease burden and a care gap score quantifying appropriate medical care. Depending upon the prevalence of disease and the extent of gaps in medical care, the population is stratified into low, moderate, and high risk for disease burden, and compliant or non-compliant for disease management.

  26. Population Stratification High Cost High Risk PRIORITY Non-Compliant Moderate Risk Employee Population High Risk Compliant Moderate Risk Low Risk
