Pete Haytaian, Executive Vice President and 
President, Government Business Division

As the head of Anthem’s government business division, Pete Haytaian works with his team to 

provide services and support to some of the most vulnerable people in the U.S.—individuals who 

are coping with complex conditions like multiple chronic diseases, homelessness and mental and 

emotional challenges. Many are elderly and disabled.

His team not only ensures that these members have access to high quality care, but also must  

operate effectively under the strict financial constraints of publicly funded programs.

“In the government space, you are really forced to contain costs while innovating and thinking through 

the complexity of managing the health of a population with a lot of challenges,” says Haytaian. “I 

call it ‘doing well by doing good’—operating successfully as a business while also meeting the needs 

of a vulnerable segment of society.”

“In this business in particular, you can see a dramatic impact on the quality of care by the little 

things—like helping a pregnant mom get her baby off to a healthy start in life,” he adds. “All of us 

on the team feel good knowing that we can help improve people’s lives in important ways.”

Anthem’s government business team is doing well by doing good on a large scale, growing by 

600,000 new members in 2016. This represents an additional $5 billion in revenue for the year, 

which exceeded expectations. Anthem’s Medicaid teams won all six of the state Medicaid contracts 

they bid on in 2016.

COMPARED TO

Anthem’s Medicare business is also well-positioned to meaningfully grow membership in 2017 and 

beyond, as the result of significant company investments over the past three years. In the most 

recent star quality ratings released by the federal government’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services, Anthem’s Medicare Advantage 2017 plans scored significant increases—with nearly 51 

percent of Anthem’s Medicare Advantage members enrolled in plans that achieved four stars or 

higher (on a scale of five stars). By comparison, 22 percent of members in 2016 were enrolled in 

plans that achieved four stars or higher. 

The government business division’s growth comes as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) broadened 

Medicaid beyond the traditional focus on mothers and children to provide services to all non-elderly 

adults at or below 138 percent of federal poverty. The ACA also encouraged states to provide more 

social support services like housing and employment assistance.

“We’ve really moved beyond serving just medical needs to taking a holistic approach to member 

health,” Haytaian says. “We’re working to ensure community resources come together cohesively 

for members, because the lack of one of those services—like housing—can translate into further 

medical problems. Health care is a critical part of an interconnected web of social services that 

together can make a huge difference in the well-being of people and their communities.”

Anthem 2016 Annual Report /Dr. Sepideh Chegini,  
Regional Medical Director, CareMore

As more Americans age into Medicare benefits, CareMore is evolving to meet the health and 

wellness needs of the baby boomer generation and beyond. The coordinated care model that 

CareMore has created means that a wide range of medical professionals—from clinicians and lab 

technologists, to specialists and primary care physicians—are all collaborating on care plans for 

patients, thereby focusing on appropriate testing and ensuring that preventive care needs are met.

Dr. Sepideh Chegini, regional medical director for CareMore’s Los Angeles and Orange County oper-

ations, and her team work to better coordinate the care of what can be a population with complex 

health issues—some patients are still very active, while others are dealing with chronic conditions, 

and still others may not be appropriately managing multiple health issues and conditions. Dr. Chegini 

and her team work daily—in a highly coordinated and interactive manner—to improve the lives of 

the patients they see—and it is working. This is a model that Anthem is now incorporating into its 

Medicaid programs and individual health benefits.

Swati Mathai, Vice President, Account 
Management, National Accounts

Ever since she was studying for her master’s degree in public health, Swati Mathai has been  

fascinated by the vastly different expectations and levels of engagement consumers have with 

their medical care—there’s never a one-size-fits-all solution for how consumers want their 

health care delivered.

“What is quality health care, and what is a quality outcome? The answer is actually a very personal 

issue—it’s different for elite athletes compared to someone with complex medical conditions,” 

Mathai says. “Twenty years after my graduate studies, I’m still very passionate about helping  

people find their personal health care solutions.”

In her role as vice president of account management for Anthem’s national accounts, Mathai now 

helps some of the biggest companies in the U.S. create their own personalized approach to offering 

health care to their employees. Innovating to meet the needs of Fortune 500 companies is a big 

responsibility, but it’s one that Mathai and her team are well positioned to consistently deliver.

“Our account executives must know our companies inside and out to serve them well—we have to be 

closely tied into their business challenges and understand the environment in which they operate,”

she says. “We’re helping customers solve for bigger problems beyond answering their customer calls 

and paying medical claims; we’re helping them gain a competitive advantage by offering benefits 

that attract and retain top talent while also controlling costs.” 

For The Kroger Co., parent of Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Kroger supermarkets, and several other banners,  

a key challenge is managing the health of some 150,000 mostly hourly-paid associates in their  

company-sponsored health care plan spread across the country. The grocery business runs on  

tight margins, so cost management is a major priority. But Kroger’s workforce can’t shoulder high 

deductibles or other cost-shifting approaches typically used by many employers.

In response, Anthem’s recently launched integrated medical, dental and vision insurance program 

provided a unique opportunity to help Kroger identify and manage health issues at an early stage 

for its insured population before those issues become more severe and more costly medical events. 

For example, if an ophthalmologist seeing a patient for an annual eye exam notices a high blood 

pressure reading, that information is flagged to the member’s primary care doctor—who can then 

get the member in for early treatment of high blood pressure before it leads to serious health issues. 

19.4% There were 7.8 million National Accounts members

7.8m

National Accounts represents 19.4% of Anthem's 
medical members as of December 31, 2016
(up from 19.1 percent in 2015)

at the end of 2016, a 5.2 percent increase
from 2015 (excluding BlueCard)

“What we’re starting to see with programs like this one is early identification of gaps in care or 

health issues so doctors can intervene, and intervene earlier,” Mathai says. “Improved health and 

quality care will lead to lower cost of care, and better compliance around evidence-based 

guidelines.”

According to Mathai, programs that integrate benefits are just the beginning of a new era in man-

aging health benefits in which payers can share information with providers to make critical early 

interventions and employers have new ways to measure outcomes and manage population health.

“The health care industry has been fragmented, but Anthem—as a leading provider of  

innovative health care solutions—can play a huge role in helping to make health care more  

personalized and effective for employers and consumers,” she says.

Anthem 2016 Annual Report /Aaron Person, Customer Care Representative

Health care is a complex industry. We can all use some help understanding the health benefits 

that can support us and our families through medical emergencies, chronic disease or routine 

preventive care. At Anthem, our front-line employees answer thousands of consumer questions 

a day and have the experience, expertise and knowledge to help them navigate their benefits.

Customer Care Representative Aaron Person is the voice of Anthem. He embodies Anthem  

values in every call he takes—easing concerns, resolving questions and guiding members through 

their health benefits, often at one of the most stressful times in the lives of members.

Veeneta Lakhani,  
Vice President, Provider Enablement

As Anthem’s vice president of provider enablement, Veeneta Lakhani is leading the company’s 

effort to work with providers who want to embrace payment transformation but also want a 

strong solutions partner to help ensure success.

Anthem has made collaboration with providers one of its highest strategic priorities. That strategy 

has grown beyond offering payment incentives that reward prevention and quality care, to a 
deeper collaboration in which we foster success by giving doctors and hospitals the support they 

need to thrive under those arrangements.

Shifting from a system that pays doctors for the volume of care they deliver to one that compensates 

them for the quality and efficiency of care they provide is not a small task. Anthem is providing 

doctors and hospitals with the tools and data they need to make this shift, but also prompting the 

cultural shifts that will make the transformation successful.

“We’re moving from being the payer of claims to the partner that provides solutions across the 

doctor’s patient base,” says Lakhani. “Provider groups vary dramatically in their level of  

experience and sophistication with value-based payment programs, so we have to come to the 

table and meet them where they are to help them on this transformational journey,” she adds.

For example, Anthem provides doctors participating in its value-based health care contracts with 

free software that flags patients’ missed follow up visits, prescription drug refills and other actiona-

ble information. A team of care consultants in every market works full time to help providers apply 

Anthem’s tools and technology, such as helping to create action plans to successfully identify and 

reach out to high-risk patients struggling to manage diabetes so that those patients stay healthy, 

manage blood sugar levels and avoid ER and hospital visits.

Participating provider practices showed fewer 
members admitted to the hospital: 

6.1% 

Fewer inpatient admits

3.4%Fewer inpatient days

Lakhani and her team are constantly working to analyze member data so participating doctors 

can identify their high risk patients. In real time, the team can identify practices in which there 

are opportunities to close a care gap with a patient before it spirals into a major—and costly—med-

ical crisis.

“Instead of leaving patients on their own to deal with the specialist and the labs and the pharmacy, 

value-based care is about making it easier for the patients to navigate the system—by connecting 

and coordinating that care,” Lakhani says. Enhanced Personal Health Care is Anthem’s umbrella 

strategy covering all of our patient-centered care and value-based contracting initiatives.

Doctors participating in EPHC (and receiving value-based payments) had 

$14.08 per member per month, or 3.5 percent, in gross savings in medical costs 

compared to expected trend as of September 2015. That resulted in $11.34 per 

member per month in net savings.

Anthem’s family of health plans counts more than 64,000 doctors receiving value-based payments, 

and the company is committed to having 50 percent of its spending in shared savings and shared 

risk contracts by the end of 2018, up from more than 43 percent now.

The effort appears to be paying off for members and providers alike. Members who see a primary 

care doctor participating in Anthem’s value-based payment program rate their overall provider 

experience higher than members who see a doctor outside the program—noting that they have 

better communication and access to their doctor outside typical office hours. Their doctors are also 

more likely to deliver high quality care, making sure that patients get recommended preventive 

care, such as breast cancer screenings, diabetes eye exams, and measles, mumps and rubella 

vaccinations.

Anthem 2016 Annual Report /Sherry Dubester, Vice President,  
Behavioral Health and Clinical Programs

While opioids have helped millions of Americans manage pain, we are seeing how the abuse  

of these drugs can devastate lives, families and communities. Anthem is taking a more holistic 

approach to tackling health issues like the opioid epidemic impacting our communities, employing 

analytics and evidence-based therapies to provide consumers with a path toward health.

Sherry Dubester, vice president of Behavioral Health and Clinical Programs, and her team are taking 
these successful strategies and applying them to address other significant public health concerns, 

such as diabetes, cancer care, behavioral health and wellness.

Corporate Responsibility

At Anthem, we are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen—by improving our com-

pany’s environmental sustainability, and by supporting health and well-being programs in the 

communities we serve. In these and many other ways, we demonstrate the values that are at 

the heart of good corporate citizenship.

The Anthem Foundation works with non-profits across the U.S. to improve the health of our com-

munities, teaming with organizations that are setting the standard when it comes to innovative  

programs that offer long-term solutions. A quick look at some of last year’s highlights illustrates 
how these non-profits are helping to reduce health disparities and empower local community  

residents to take control of their health:

• Anthem Foundation’s partnership with the American Heart Association helped more than five 

million Americans learn Hands-Only CPR.

• Our Foundation’s grant to the American Cancer Society provided more than 46,000 low or no 

cost cancer screenings to populations at greatest risk.

• Anthem’s CenteringPregnancy™ grant to the March of Dimes programs to reduce preterm births 

reached 6,600 women across the U.S.

live and work—donating more than 55,000 volunteer hours to benefit countless nonprofits in 2016. 

On Giving Tuesday—a global campaign on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving that kicks off the charita-

ble giving season and end-of-year philanthropic efforts—associates raised $431,000 in support of

Anthem is also focused on mitigating the impact our business has on the world around us through 

smart energy programs, water conservation and waste reduction. We have made significant prog ress 

since 2013—reducing our workplace paper use by 16 percent, lowering greenhouse gas emissions 

intensity by 18 percent, and decreasing water use by 28 percent—and we’ve set even higher goals 

in the years ahead.

Anthem recognizes the link between environmental health and personal wellness. To promote  

local, more sustainable food options, we established mini farmers markets for associates at larger 

Anthem locations. And we launched Anthem Hydration Stations to encourage our associates to 

drink more water. To help reduce auto emissions, we are currently piloting 10 electric vehicle  

charging stations at Anthem office locations with plans to add more this year.
