Program enhancements include new incentives for providers and plan members to achieve dual goals of achieving better outcomes and lowering overall health care costs

HARTFORD – May 10, 2022 – Comptroller Natalie Braswell announced today that the state
health plan has launched the next phase of its innovative value-based care payment program, aimed at improving the quality, affordability, and experience of health care for hundreds of thousands of state employees and retirees. Three Connecticut facilities — Women’s Health Connecticut, UConn Health and Trinity Health Of New England’s Saint Francis Hospital — have been designated Centers of Excellence for certain procedures to recognize and reward their demonstrated superior quality of care.

Launched in 2020, the state’s innovative Providers of Distinction program incentivizes the highest-quality care at the lowest possible cost for more than 40 common procedures and conditions including knee replacement, colonoscopy, cataract surgery and care related to pregnancy. By negotiating fixed, guaranteed pricing with providers to coordinate and deliver care across the patient’s care journey, the state reduces variation in costs while improving health care quality and outcomes.

“Providers across the state have embraced the opportunity to work in partnership with us to deliver high-quality, coordinated care while controlling costs,” said Connecticut Comptroller Natalie Braswell. “The new Centers of Excellence designation is a natural next step in our evolution of the program to recognize and reward those providers who are performing at the highest levels. Congratulations to Women’s Health Connecticut, UConn Health, and Trinity Health of New England’s Saint Francis Hospital for this impressive achievement. It’s my hope that, by elevating the most talented doctors, hospitals, provider groups and other medical institutions, that we can lower costs throughout the state and make Connecticut the health care capital of the nation.”

More than 340 providers currently participate in the Providers of Distinction program based on their demonstrated ability to deliver the best health care outcomes for patients at competitive prices. Those covered by the state’s health plan, including members of the Connecticut Partnership Plan, now will automatically receive cash incentives ranging from $100 to $1,000 when they have eligible procedures performed by participating providers. Incentives for both plan members and providers increase based on two provider performance tiers, called Providers of Distinction and Centers of Excellence. Providers of Distinction are those provider organizations that scored higher than their peers in affordability and clinical quality, while Centers of Excellence provider organizations are those who score the highest among their peers in affordability, clinical quality, and additional areas such as process improvement, leadership, clinical innovation, and patient focus. Three provider groups have been designated Centers of Excellence for 2022-2023, including:

● Women’s Health Connecticut for maternity and hysterectomy episodes of care
● UConn Health for maternity, knee replacement and revision, lumbar laminectomy, and
lumbar spine fusion episodes of care
● Trinity Health Of New England’s Saint Francis Hospital for hip replacement and hip
revision, knee replacement and knee revision, lumbar laminectomy, and lumbar spine fusion
episodes of care

In 2021, the State of Connecticut Health Plan was approved by The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) as an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (AAPM). With this
designation, eligible doctors, hospitals and provider groups that have contracted with the state may receive certain credit for their participation under the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System.

Signify Health supports the State of Connecticut’s Episodes of Care program by identifying,
contracting with and supporting participating providers with services, technology, and analytics, as well as securing fixed, episodes-of-care pricing with high-value network providers.

“The State of Connecticut has been a catalyst for accelerating the adoption of value-based payment models by innovative provider organizations across the state,” said Laurel Douty, Executive Vice President, Clinical Operations at Signify Health. “We are proud to support the State and its work to align primary and specialty care providers around what’s best for the patient – and help all citizens benefit from a higher quality system of care.”

Nancy Bernstein, President and CEO of Women's Health Connecticut said of the
designation: "As a high-volume resource for women in both maternity and gynecologic surgery,
we've long held the belief that there could be more cost efficiency in this space. We have enjoyed
being the state's partner in this program and in making a tangible difference toward reducing
healthcare cost. We're grateful to receive this COE distinction for those efforts."

“The Center of Excellence designations affirm UConn Health’s steadfast focus on patient-centered, high-quality, and affordable care,” says Dr. Bruce T. Liang, interim CEO of UConn Health. “We are proud to be a partner in the state’s initiative further elevating the quality and value of health care for all.”

"The State of Connecticut’s innovative value-based care payment program is an exciting move for all those insured by the State’s health plan, offering patients the assurance that they are receiving affordable, high-quality care. As the clinically integrated network for Trinity Health Of New England, SoNE HEALTH is dedicated to a collaborative approach to healthcare and we are
honored to align with the State of Connecticut on this initiative,” stated Lisa Trumble, President
and CEO at SoNE HEALTH.

DALLAS and NEW YORK – May 4, 2022 – Signify Health, Inc. (NYSE: SGFY), a leading healthcare platform that leverages advanced analytics, technology and nationwide healthcare networks to create and power value-based payment programs, today announced the Company’s financial results for the first quarter 2022.  

“Our strong first quarter results demonstrate the significant value we are delivering to our clients as we continue to execute our growth strategy and make strategic investments in our business,” said Kyle Armbrester, Chief Executive Officer of Signify Health. “The investments we have made to support increased customer demand for our comprehensive member evaluations enabled us to reach a record level of 564 thousand evaluations in the first quarter. Investment in people and processes also helped our Episodes of Care and BPCI-A program partners to improve health outcomes for patients and deliver meaningful savings as we continue to manage through the COVID-19 environment and its impact on program size and savings rate.”

Mr. Armbrester continued, “The integration of Caravan Health is progressing well and clients are responding favorably to how the combined capabilities of Signify and Caravan can help them be more successful in their alternative payment strategies. Clients also are expressing interest in tapping into the significant access and scale we have in homes as part of their efforts to manage total cost of care. Caravan Health adds to our revenue diversification while supporting our mission to accelerate the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system from fee-for-service to value-based care.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

• Total revenue for the first quarter increased 20% to $216.5 million, up from $180.0 million in the same period a year ago.  Overall growth in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by a 23% increase in Home & Community Services (HCS) segment revenue to $186.9 million and a 7% increase in Episodes of Care Services (ECS) segment revenue to $29.6 million compared to a year ago.  
• The strong HCS revenue was a quarterly record and is attributable to an increase in in-home evaluations (IHE) volume, which grew to approximately 564 thousand from approximately 462 thousand in the first quarter of 2021.
• ECS first quarter revenue growth was driven by an increase in program size and revenue generated by Caravan Health for one-month post acquisition. 
• First quarter total net loss improved to $16.3 million compared to a net loss of $51.7 million for the same period a year ago.  Net loss included $28.9 million of other expense related to the remeasurement of the fair value of our Equity Appreciation Rights (EAR) due to an increase in the Company’s stock price in the first quarter.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the first quarter increased 31% to $45.0 million, compared to $34.4 million for the first quarter 2021, driven primarily by HCS revenue growth.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ for the first quarter was 20.8%, a 170-basis point improvement from the comparable year ago period. 

2022 Outlook

The Company is maintaining its full year 2022 estimates as follows:

• Total revenue in the range of $948 million to $971 million; and
• Total adjusted EBITDA¹ in the range of $212 million to $222 million.

¹Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”  We have not reconciled 2022 guidance for adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and have not provided forward-looking guidance for net income (loss) because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact net income (loss), including, among others, stock-based compensation and the fair valuation of the EARs, that are not within our control or cannot be reasonably estimated.
