Centivo's 2022 Partnership Plan Results versus Industry Benchmarks

Metric	Centivo Partnership Plan	Milliman Moderately Managed Benchmark	Percent Difference	Milliman Loosely Managed Benchmark	Percent Difference
Total Medical Costs (per member, per month)	$331	$417	-21	$498	-33
Primary Care Physician Visits (per 1,000 members)	1,722	1,324	+30	1,409	+22

Emergency Room Visits (per 1,000 members)	101	119	-15	141	-29

Centivo's analysis is based on incurred and paid claims from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2022, from members enrolled in the Centivo Partnership Plan, plus a claim's maturity completion factor.

Centivo's Partnership Plan is anchored around a primary care-centered provider model committed to improved patient access, quality and cost-effective care. This alignment brings with it market-leading pricing that enables significant employer savings. Additionally, these savings are offered in concert with plan designs that are more affordable – typically no deductibles, free primary care and straightforward copays for all non-primary care services, including surgeries and hospitalizations. All plans also include Centivo's proprietary virtual care practice, one of the first to receive the National Committee for Quality Assurance's Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition. For members, the plan savings amount to an annual increase in take-home pay: members on Centivo's standard Partnership Plan paid an average of only $409 per year in out-of-pocket costs, compared to the national average of over $1,600 per year.

"Ensuring everyone has access to high-quality, affordable healthcare is the driving force behind everything Centivo does for its clients, members and provider partners," said Ashok Subramanian, CEO, Centivo. "The results of our 2022 healthcare spend analysis validate our model's ability to provide and deliver a first-of-its-kind health benefit plan that workers across the country, and in companies of all sizes, can actually afford to better their health and quality of life."
