SEE SCHEDULE O. Banner Health Insurance Group Inc. (BHIG) operates exclusively to promote social welfare purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue and is organized as a Medicare-only preferred provider organization (PPO) to serve Medicare beneficiaries through a Medicare-only Medicare Advantage Part D (MAPD) Plan. BHIG's sole shareholder is Banner Health Insurance Companies, LLC (BHIC), which is disregarded for federal tax purposes as a single-member LLC of Banner Health, a tax-exempt hospital system under Section 501(c)(3). Banner Health is one of the nation's largest nonprofit health care systems, and the leading tax-exempt provider of hospital services in every community it serves and, in some cases, the only inpatient facility available in some of those rural and/or medically underserved communities. BHIG is integrated into Banner's continuum of care for Banner Health patients, thereby strengthening its ability to care for those patients and promote community health. BHIG embraces and seeks to further Banner Health's mission of making health care easier, so life can be better and leverages Banner Health's vast Arizona managed care expertise to improve its elderly members' access to care and quality of care. Care and coverage are part of Banner Health's vertically integrated system and the cornerstone of BHIG which is designed to promote more efficient and effective care coordination and provision. Formed in 2019, BHIG's health plan is based in Arizona and serves only Arizona counties All counties included in BHIG's service areas - Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, and Yuma - are designated as medically underserved areas by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). BHIG is the only MAPD health plan in Arizona that can offer a fully integrated continuum of care and coverage and in its service area, it is unique in its ability to integrate provider care and operate under the umbrella of a tax-exempt health system. Under BHIG, members receive both quality health care and comprehensive insurance coverage including prescription drug coverage in a single plan. Through Banner Health, BHIG offers its members a choice of 5000+ providers, 17 Arizona hospitals, and three renowned academic medical centers.

BHIG achieves its mission, and the mission of Banner Health - making health care easier so life can be better through the MM program by focusing on continuous quality improvements, utilizing best practices throughout its network, and providing access to high quality, sustainable health care services to all members. BHIG conducts a care management (CM) program for its members with multiple or complex medical/mental health conditions, for the purpose of improving their physical and behavioral health and quality of life. BHIG coordinates access to needed health care services and resources for these members to help them regain/maintain their optimal health and/or improve their functional capacity. Through the CM program, BHIG seeks to reduce care gaps, decrease unnecessary hospitalization and emergency department visits, improve member self-management skills, and remove barriers to needed care. BHIG's CM member services include care coordination, health risk assessments, health and disease management education, mental/behavioral health support, providing information on community resources, and assistance in care transitions (e.g., from hospital to home, to and from skilled nursing facilities). BHIG refers CM program members with additional needs such as meals, need for support groups, etc. to appropriate community resources or, if their needs are more extensive, to the appropriate BHIG Care Management department for further intervention. BHIG conducts a condition management program for members with select high risk conditions who could benefit from a concerted approach to managing their health, including those suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular issues, depression, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. BHIG's condition management services include assessments, analysis, member contacts, plan of care, individualized health education to each condition management member, and member interventions to improve member health. Such interventions include educational materials or workshops, telephonic and in-person care management, and home monitoring devices.
