| form 990, PART III, LINE 4A-D | 2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT KAISER FOUNDATION HEALTH PLAN OF MID-ATLANTIC STATES, INC. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. or "Mid-Atlantic Health Plan" is a tax-exempt subsidiary health plan of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (KFHP). Mid Atlantic Health Plan as well as Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (KFH) are nonprofit corporations that are part of the integrated health care delivery system known as the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program or "Kaiser Permanente." In 2011, the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan served more than 488,492 members, and had 5,237 full-time administrative, clerical and technical employees. Mid-Atlantic Health Plan provides and arranges comprehensive health care services for members on a predominantly prepaid basis and fulfills its contractual obligations to group and individual members by contracting with KFH and a Permanente Medical Group to provide the required health care services. Membership in KFHP and its health plan subsidiaries is available without regard to sex, race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation, and occupational status, or income level. Health Plan members are broadly representative of the various ages, social, and income groups within the areas it serves. Once enrolled, a member is free to maintain membership regardless of age, health status or employment. KAISER PERMANENTE'S COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY Kaiser Permanente believes its Direct Community Benefit Investment (DCBI), is fundamental to being a nonprofit organization. It embodies the organization's commitment to improve the health of communities beyond services to Health Plan members. It is more than traditional corporate citizenship or corporate philanthropy. It is an intentional, planned, budgeted, measurable, accountable creation for better health in our communities. It is done in collaboration with, not in isolation from, the community. DCBI serves to fulfill Kaiser Permanente's social purpose, justify its tax-exempt status, and differentiate it from other health care organizations. This tradition of community benefit dates from the earliest days of the Program, when charitable care to non-employees, and later, nonmembers, was initiated. That heritage has continued through the years in Kaiser Permanente's early participation in publicly financed programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, establishment of residency training and medical research programs, and later, in the development of the Educational Theatre Programs, Safety Net Partnerships, Community Health Initiatives and Charitable Health Coverage Programs. In 2007, the KFHP/H Board of Directors refined the focus of the organization's Community Benefit Program and established the following four priority areas which have come to be known as "streams of work": - Care and Coverage for Low-Income People - Creates and supports programs that lower the financial barriers for the under- and uninsured. - Community Health Initiatives - Designs, delivers, and sustains long-term programs that engage communities in work to improve conditions in their neighborhoods. - Safety Net Partnerships - Builds partnerships with community clinics, local health departments, and public hospitals. Provides funding, technical assistance, dissemination of care management and quality improvements technology to help improve care and expand treatment capacity for vulnerable populations. - Developing and Disseminating Knowledge - Improves health care by sharing our knowledge- educating practitioners, advancing research, empowering consumers and informing policymakers about the evidence base for care and health. The Board elaborated that at least 75% of total community benefit funding will be directed to program priorities within the four streams of work and the remaining 25% of funding will be directed by local regions to respond to local community benefit needs and opportunities that may or may not be within the four key focus areas. | |
| THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION | The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan expended approximately $69.6 million to support community benefit activities. A breakdown of the 2011 Community Benefit dollars attributable to the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan is included in Attachment A. The following identifies many of the signature community benefit programs and services grouped according to the national streams of work funded by the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan. CARE AND COVERAGE FOR LOW-INCOME PEOPLE There are roughly 49 million people in America without health care coverage. Uninsured, low-income individuals and families who are not eligible for public programs often have to rely on traditional charity care. Frequently, individuals in this situation may wait to seek medical care until their conditions become critical, and end up in hospital emergency rooms for treatment of conditions that are preventable or easily treated in earlier stages. In 2011, the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan expended $56.7 million to address the financing and delivery of health care for populations vulnerable due to socio-economic status, illness, ethnicity, age, or other factors. Program beneficiaries (under and uninsured) received free or discounted care in a Kaiser Permanente facility or by a Permanente provider. Charitable Care (Medical Financial Assistance and Charitable Health Coverage Programs) In the Mid-Atlantic States, Health Plan provides charity care to low-income vulnerable populations through the Medical Financial Assistance and Charitable Health Coverage Programs. In 2011, the Mid-Atlantic States Health Plan spent $44.5 million on under- and uninsured residents in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia to serve more than 10,629 children and adults. Medical Financial Assistance- The Medical Financial Assistance (MFA) Program provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who are in both medical and financial need and ensures that collection practices do not further burden an individual or family in financial distress. The program is available to assist Health Plan members in reducing out-of-pocket costs such as co-payments, co-insurance, medical services and/or pharmacy. Nonmembers are offered assistance for specified medically necessary services related to an episode of care. In order to receive financial assistance, members and nonmembers must not be eligible to receive assistance under any other public or private program. MFA awards are only for services provided in Health Plan facilities. Kaiser Permanente's charity care program also includes discounted charges for uninsured patients below 400% of the federal poverty guidelines. Charitable Health Coverage- Charitable Health Coverage CHC) is a unique approach to caring for low-income uninsured persons in the community. Participants receive a regular Kaiser Permanente membership card and access to the full range of service and providers-a much better alternative to a brief and costly emergency room visit or hospitalization. This allows the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan to invest in the longer term health of patients and the communities. Since inception in the early 1980s, CHC programs have made a real difference in the lives of persons who might otherwise have no other source of care. The following describes two CHC programs in the Mid-Atlantic region. Bridge Program - This program enables participants to have comprehensive health care coverage at significantly reduced costs at a time when they are experiencing financial difficulties due to job loss, involuntary reduction in work hours, death, divorce, or legal separation from a spouse. Typically, these individuals are not eligible for any other public or private health care coverage and whose income is less than 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. Health Plan subsidizes either 90% or 95% of their monthly health care premium relative to the member's income. At the end of 2011, nearly 7,507 individuals were enrolled through community partners located in 12 local jurisdictions. Medical Care for Children Programs - In 2011, more than 3,100 children were enrolled in the program in five jurisdictions throughout the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan region. Children in these programs may not be eligible for public or private health care programs and must have family incomes of below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. The program operated in partnership with local governments, hospitals and/or nonprofit community groups. Referrals to specialists not available from the Permanente Medical Group and inpatient hospitalizations are covered by the program's partners. This program targets children of "working poor" families. | |
| Participation in Government-Sponsored Programs | In 2011, Mid-Atlantic Health Plan contributed $12.2 million to support the provision of medical care services to individuals in the following government-sponsored program: - The Maryland Medical Assistance Program provides funds to allow the state to increase rates that Medicaid pays to fee-for-service health care providers and managed care health care providers. The program helps increase the number of practitioners willing to serve Medicaid patients, and without such practitioners, access to care could be seriously curtailed for vulnerable populations in Maryland. - Medicaid - Kaiser Permanente served over 700 non-member medicaid pediatric patients as a primary care provider through priority partners at 8 medical offices in 2011. the mas health plan also invested in start up costs associated with becoming a medicaid managed care organization in the commonwealth of virgina. In 2011 CB funded the cost-based losses of $429,341 and medicaid start up costs of $1,158,035. COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES As an innovator in health, Kaiser Permanente designs, delivers, and sustains long-term programs that engage communities in work to improve conditions in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools to support good health, particularly Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL). The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan spent $2.5 million on community health initiatives during 2011. Health Eating Active Living Programs The Mid-Atlantic HEAL program provides a variety of community outreach activities and services to address the environmental factors that effect childhood and adult obesity. The focus is on increasing access to healthy foods, fun and safe places for children and adults to engage in physical activity as well as raise awareness and educate the consumer about ways to lead a healthier lifestyle through healthy eating and active living. Healthy Eating Activities include hosting a farmers market at the Baltimore City Plaza Medical Center, a farm stand at Camp Springs Medical Center, and a community garden at the White Marsh Medical Center. KP also continues to support Healthy Eating in Hard Times efforts to ensure food banks in the region include fresh, healthy foods. Mid-Atlantic Health Plan supports active living by helping to build healthy communities and sustain community-based organizations to address health where people live, work, learn, and play by targeting neighborhood environmental conditions, organizational practices, and public policies. Key HEAL partnerships include: The Port towns Community Health Partnership, Summit Health Institute for Research and Education (SHIRE), Alexandria Health Partnership, and DC promise Neighborhood. Safe Routes to School National Partnership was funded to design and implement programs with Washington Region elementary schools to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bike and walk to and from school. Grants and Donations for Community Health Initiatives The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan donated $2.2 million to 34 nonprofit community organizations to support a variety of community health initiatives. The following are examples of programs and services funded in 2011: - american university was granted $95,000 to evaluate the progress of the implementation of the DC Healthy Schools act. - playworks education energized was provided a $95,000 grant to implement playworks unique model of physical activity and the play program in 45 low -income elementary schools in baltimore and Washington dc impacting 16,000 children daily SAFETY NET PARTNERSHIPS Through funding, technical assistance, public policy advocacy, training and volunteering, dissemination of care-management and quality improvement technologies, Kaiser Permanente helps these vital health care providers improve care and expand treatment capacity for the communities and vulnerable people they serve. In 2011, the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan spent $5.6 million to support 56 organizations that assist clinics, providers and the institutions on the front lines of healthcare to expand access to primary, specialty, and preventative care to low- income and unisured adults and children in the district of columbia, maryland, and virgina. Following are highlights from two of our signature partnerships: - in 2011, the community ambassador program grew from 2 nurse practitioners (NPs) to a total of 37 NPS and physician assistants placed in 16 safety net clinics in washington dc, suburban maryland and northern virginia. the purpose of the program is to expand the capacity of local safety net clinics to expand the healthcare access to the under/uninsured. - hypertension initiative- this is a new pilot partnership between kaiser permanente and 3 federally qualified health centers, one in washington dc, and two in maryland. the program is intended to build a bridge between KP and community clinics by providing specialty care for refractory hypertensive patients. Grants and donation for safety net partnerships- The mid-atlantic health plan invested $3.6 million and supported 56 communities agencies to enhance their ability to provide high quality care in a variety of settings. Active participation was continued in the Washington AIDS Collaborative and The Neighbors in Need Collaborative of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region. The following are examples of programs and services funded: - IHI Scholarships to Safety NET Providers - Mid-Atlantic Health Plan provided training and education scholarships to 14 Safety NET clinicians from 8 Safety NET clinics to attend Institute for Health Improvement seminars and their annual meeting. Seven individuals attended the 23rd Annual Conference of Quality Improvement and one Medical Director was selected to participate on a KP sponsored panel discussion of Patient Medical Homes at the 23rd Annual IHI Conference. - IHI Scholarships were provided to 2 staff members of the People's Community Health Center in Baltimore Maryland to attend the Annual IHI Conference in Orlando. - IHI Scholarships were provided to 2 staff members of Greater Baden in Prince George's county Maryland to attend the Annual IHI Conference in Orlando. DEVELOPING AND DISSEMINATING KNOWLEDGE Kaiser Permanente aims to improve health care by sharing its knowledge, educating practitioners, advancing research, empowering consumers, and informing policymakers about the evidence base for care and health. The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan spent $1.9 million to support programs and services for the development and dissemination of knowledge and provided grants and donations to nonprofit organizations. | |
| CLINICAL AND HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH | In 2011, the Mid-Atlantic Health Plan spent approximately $641 thousand to support Community Benefit focused clinical and health services research. Many of the research studies address current health issues and improve care for common conditions where treatment often is linked to community-based efforts, and are broadly disseminated through articles and professional presentations. The Mid-Atlantic Permanente Research Institute (MAPRI) publishes and disseminates epidemiologic and health services research to improve the health and medical care of Kaiser Permanente members and the communities we serve. MAPRI has a specific focus on conducting research that can be translated into clinical practice and health promotion to influence the health of individuals and populations. MRI investigators collaborate on major research projects with national partners including the NIH, via National Institutes of Mental Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and AHRQ. These studies cover a broad range of topics, including HIV/AIDS, adherence to medical treatment, and asthma and other chronic conditions. Additionally, MAPRI researchers collaborate with other major non-profit healthcare institutions, including Johns Hopkins University, University of California, and Harvard University. The community benefit budget supports studies led by Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group physicians, health plan investigators or MAPRI staff. In 2011, MAPRI published approximately 20 studies in peer-reviewed journals. Following are a few examples of those studies: The International Journal for Quality Health Care published a study that showed that doctors who communicate with their at risk diabetic patients more frequently using secure email tend to see better diabetes outcome measures across the patient panel. The association is particularly strong for panels with a high proportion of racial and ethnic minority patients who are at risk for worse disease outcomes. The authors postulate that making doctor-patient communication more accessible enables physicians and their patients to make more frequent adjustments to treatment regimens, ultimately improving patients' diabetes health. The American Journal for Managed Care published a paper which explored the data available for researchers and approaches that could be used to enhance the value of Medicare data for comparative effectiveness research (CER). The authors concluded that leveraging existing Medicare program elements combined with some administrative changes in data availability could create large datasets for evaluating treatment patterns, spending, and coverage decisions. - In 2011 Health Plan funded additional research efforts related to Oncology trials and epidemiology, HIV/AIDs, hepatitis and liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and Parkinson's disease. Kaiser Permanente aims to improve health care by sharing its knowledge, educating practitioners, advancing research, empowering consumers, and informing policymakers about the evidence base for care and health. The Educational Theatre Programs is a potent strategy for disseminating clinically-honed prevention messages to students, families, and their broader communities. Educational Theatre Programs (ETP) The Educational Theatre Program (ETP) has provided professional, award-winning health education for PK-12 for 25 years in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. In 2011 ETP performed 273 shows, for ~ 51,000 children and adults at schools and other locations. The ETP shows include supplemental resource materials for students, teachers, and parents that reinforce the presentation. In 2011, ETP's repertoire included 4 shows: Professor Bodywise's Traveling Menagerie, The R-Files, The Amazing Food Detective, and Secrets. Additionally, ETP produced 5 videos describing its programs and 1 video entitled "Smart Eats" that delivers a nutritional message to elementary students. Grants and Donations for Knowledge Dissemination KP also supported a number of community groups with proceeds from a Donar Advised Fund (DAF) established with the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region. The DAF provided $1,600,000 in scholarships and capacity building grants to train allied health professionals at eight public institutions. The recipients were Baltimore City Community college, The Community College of the District of Columbia, Montgomery College, Prince George's Community College, Northern Virginia Community College, Howard County Community College, the Community College of Baltimore County, and the Universities at Shady Grove. These scholarships were targeted for low-income populations. KP also supported the work of Greater Washington DC Workforce Development Coalition through membership in its Steering Committee and Health care Working Group and a $100,000 grant to fund its efforts. OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan spent approximately $3.0 million on other community benefits beyond the national streams of work. Martin Luther King Day - In 2011 Kaiser Foundation Health Plan expanded its use of KPCare.org using it not only for Martin Luther King Day registration but throughout the year for multiple volunteer events. For 2011 there were 46 volunteer opportunities posted with over 600 volunteers registered. For Martin Luther King Day Kaiser Foundation Health Plan facilitated 15 volunteer activities for employees and their families including working at soup kitchens, meal deliveries for home-bound individuals, filling care packages for shelters and even promoting the value of fresh fruits and veggies in the Annual Martin Luther King Day Parade in Baltimore City. Health Fairs - Kaiser Foundation Health Plan partnered with the United Way of the National Capital Area to present the 1st Annual Real Men Get Checked health fair during the summer. The event took place on the grounds of the DC Armory where Kaiser-Permanente volunteers and various partner organizations provided critical screenings to over 2,000 participants. Kaiser-Permanente also participated in ~30+ community health events as a result of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan's support through our Health Fair Program where we provide screening services for free to local non-profits. Employee Giving Campaign - In 2011 the campaign continued with dollar-for-dollar gift matching for employees contributing to specified non-profits. Regional Community Benefit Operations The Mid-Atlantic Health Plan has a dedicated Community Benefit Department with 15 full time employees to support regional community benefit programs and services and coordinate CB initiatives. With 2 FTEs dedicated to Medicaid Initiatives and 3 FTEs to directly support the Medical Financial Assistance Program via Patient Financial Services 2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVESTMENT - MID-ATLANTIC STATES (attachment A) The following chart summarizes the 2011 Community Benefit investments in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.

| form 990, PART VI, LINE 15A/B | The executive compensation program is designed to recruit, retain and motivate qualified senior management personnel. Senior management personnel have a significant impact on the strategic and policy direction and results of the organization. Therefore, the executive compensation program is, to a significant degree, performance-based. The compensation program is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which evaluates and approves, prior to payment, all programs and payments to CEO, Executive Director and top management officials (executives). Base pay for executive positions is established at a level comparable to the relevant market. In addition, other components of the compensation program bear 'at-risk' features designed to focus on strategically important performance goals and to assist in attracting and retaining top performers. The executive compensation program is targeted at the median of the comparable external market in which the organization competes for executive leadership. Evaluation of comparable pay data is performed by an Independent Compensation, Benefit & Human Resource Consulting firm. The compensation program focuses on objectives in the areas of quality of member care and service, financial soundness, and the community and social mission of the organization. | |
