3 Our Key Areas of Focus Strategic areas of focus for the second half of 2017 and beyond Home Health: Rebuild of BD staff continues. BD FTE ramp helped us achieve our 3Q total episodic admit growth (+3% ex FL closures and hurricane). On track to achieve 4Q total episodic admit growth rate (ex. FL closures) of 4-6%. Same store episodic volume growth +5% Hospice: Continued growth at high single / low double digit pace (Admissions +7%, ADC +14%) Personal Care: Double digit growth in billable hours / quarter +37% 1 Organic Growth Amedisys improves STARS scores to 4.21 (Jan’18 preview) with 88% of providers at 4+ STAR rating STAR score improvement for the tenth consecutive quarter (from initial July’15 release to Jan’18 preview) 19 Amedisys providers (representing 29 care centers) rated at 5-Stars in the Jan’18 Preview Readmissions & clinical turnover Palliative care programs 3 Clinical Initiatives Continued training on productivity tool optimization will help to impact RN / LPN & PT / PTA ratio and give field leaders better insight into capacity by clinician providing more clarity around staffing needs Since Jan. 1, 2017, clinician productivity has increased in the range of 5% (partially due to increased volume being available) – helping to drive down CPV 4 Impact Capacity and Productivity Preference to acquire assets in: Hospice; Personal Care tuck-in’s, and opportunistic regional acquisitions in Home Health Unlevered balance sheet (0.2x) gives us access to capital and lots of options Pipeline strong but price expectations challenging 5 M&A 2 BD Recruiting / Retention Focus on BD recruiting and retention payoff as BD FTEs at the end of Sept. at 770 projected to be 775 by 4Q’17 (increase of 58 FTEs vs. 4Q16) BD vacancy rate at end of September: 1.1%, down from 8.6% in April Targeting industry leading employee retention amongst all employee categories 6 Regulatory Home Health 2018 rule finalized on 11/1 HHGM not included for implementation Working through details of final rule; final rule impacts AMED by (1.4%), half of this cut is due to rural add-on expiration 2018 Hospice rate increase of 1% effective 10/1/17 Work with CMS on future payment reform

Status Category Update Ongoing Initiative Quality ratings (Stars & VBP) Amedisys maintains above a 4-Star average (4.21) in the Jan 2018 HHC preview with 88% of providers at 4+ Stars; focusing on readmission reduction; Hospice quality metrics initially released Clinical Initiatives & Readmissions Create innovative industry-leading, clinical programs and define, develop and implement standardized care protocols at point of care. Heart program rolled out in Feb. 2017, COPD on-track BD Staffing / Turnover We exited September with 770 BD FTE’s and are on pace to reach our next target of 775 BD FTE’s by 4Q’17; significantly slowed turnover of productive staff that was occurring in late 2016 Clinical Staffing & Turnover During the third quarter, we filled over 1,300 clinical positions, building capacity for planned volume growth HCHB 2.0 Re-training the field to become system “super-users” or drive more efficiencies and organizational standardization Cost Initiatives / Margin We will deliver the run rate savings opportunities of $46M by 4Q’17; delivered on margin opportunity despite rate cuts (margin adjusted for rate cuts and Personal Care is ~12% in 3Q’17) Accounts Receivable DSO remained steady at 40.7. DSO excluding impact of FL ZPIC and Tenet acquisition was 38.0. Expect to reduce DSO to more normalized levels by end of year Home Health Same store episodic admissions ex.

Same store Hospice admissions +7% and SS ADC growth +14% Personal Care Billable hours/quarter: +37%. Highly efficient integration process. Realizing synergies from HomeStaff acquisition. Targeting additional acquisitions and efficiency as platform is built out M&A Valuations remain high. Continue focus on Hospice, Personal Care and strategic Home Health acquisitions but will remain disciplined. Pipeline full Reimbursement Impact of rate cut ~$4M in 3Q’17, offset by $2M due to patient acuity levels. 2018 reimbursement for AMED (1.4%), half of the impact is due to the expiration of the rural add on (0.7%) How we’re tracking Clinical Distinction Employer of Choice Operational Excellence & Efficiency Driving Growth Outstanding Outcomes for Our Patients In Their Homes Care Centers & Clinical Teams Continued focus on driving down 30 and 60 day readmissions rates, key value proposition for Medicare and other payors Continued focus on retention through engagement and development opportunities. Increased emphasis on HH BD staffing and retention paying dividends Home Health has realized impact of new BD FTE’s in 3Q’17 Targeting total episodic growth of 4-6% in 4Q (ex.

Dotted lines represent projections Assuming a normalized level of BD productivity (~25 monthly admits / BD FTE) and meeting hiring and retention goals, we expect to achieve episodic growth of 4-6% for 4Q’17 excluding Florida closures On Target to Reach 775 BD FTEs by End of 4Q’17 Vacancy Rate goal of 6% by YE 2017 achieved and surpassed BD recruiting SWAT team responsible for the significant ramp in BD FTEs BD FTE impact will help us achieve 4-6% episodic growth in 4Q’17, excluding FL closures

We are on track to realize the $46M annualized savings we promised by Q4’17 – Additional Home Health restructure will put us over our original projections and help deliver improved margins despite reimbursement cuts $46 million in Targeted Savings by Q4 2017 HCHB Disruption In early 2015, we discussed a plan to deliver $46M in annualized run rate savings by the end of this year and have achieved much of this to date, which has driven improved margins Unanticipated rate cuts in home health, a cumulative 3% as of Q3’17 have impacted margins. Adjusting for these rate cuts and Personal Care, expected to deliver margins in the 12% range
