LHC Group Enters the Recently Expanding Advanced Home Care Market 3

Slide 4

ALL HEALTHCARE IS LOCAL, AND HOSPITALS NEED MORE THAN A ONE SIZE FITS ALL SOLUTION Recent interest and activity in the advanced home care market, including Hospital@Home and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)@ Home programs, has validated LHC Group’s decades old strategy of joint venturing with hospitals. LHC has designed a program that will be unique in each hospital, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach to innovative care models. All health care is local, and our new program is organized to deliver advanced care in the home through local physicians, nurses, and allied health professions. It will address the common friction points and gaps that hospitals often experience in extending care into the home and around the clock. The multi-disciplinary clinical teams of this partnership will be there to help to make advanced home care services more successful for patients. LHC & SCP partnership combines the physicians in the ED and hospital with the nurses in the home along with clinical technology and analytics and initially brings this to the 70 hospitals where we already overlap. 4

Slide 5

ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL A patient’s journey in an advanced home care program often starts in the emergency department – however, broad adoption of the Hospital@Home philosophy has been slow. This partnership has adoption at its core. Next, the patients are complex and require multiple nursing visits per day and daily physician involvement. In many cases, a health system wants to offer Hospital@Home, but does not have the needed resources to cover the clinical requirements – LHCG and SCP address these two challenges. Lastly, if this model does not work economically for the health system, the program will not succeed. LHCG has a long history of successful joint venture relationships that have developed trust and returns for hospitals. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recent recommendation to expand its value-based purchasing program nationwide places a premium on companies that can quickly take on risk and deliver proven value on a national scale. 5

Slide 6

This transformative partnership is the missing link that advanced home care programs need for highly coordinated care and taking risk on post acute cost and care management. LHCG & SCP Health partnership is a win-win-win for patients, hospitals/health systems, and payors alike. A comprehensive offering of clinicians covering all aspects of home health care, including SNF@Home and Hospital@Home programs. Hospital partnerships are the core of both companies’ strategies with nearly three decades of direct experience and 765 collective partnerships. Collective experience, national scale of clinical boots on the ground, existing proof of concept, and minimal investments accelerate nationwide service launch in late 2021. SCP HEALTH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP IS THE MISSING LINK 6

LHC Group is Uniquely Positioned to Thrive in the Transition to Value-Based Care 10

Slide 11

LHC HAS A LONG HISTORY IN VALUE-BASED CARE LHCG has been contracting with health plans and health systems to manage the cost of care and reduce unnecessary utilization for years. LHCG generates millions of dollars per year in value-based bonus payments. By collaborating internally between Imperium and LHCG provider divisions, population health, high per capita spending, and networking opportunities are identified. LHCG’s data analytics capabilities will be applied to help manage Hospital@Home and SNF@Home patients. 11

Slide 12

LHC GROUP’S SNF@HOME EXPERIENCE BEGAN IN 2014 LHCG partnered with Ochsner Health System to develop and implement a customized orthopedic care program in 2014 and decreased SNF admissions as a percentage of total joint replacements in the first two years. Year 1 resulted in a decrease in SNF admissions from 28% to 18%. Year 2 resulted in a decrease in SNF admissions from 18% to 11%. Cost savings to Ochsner based on national averages were staggering. Hip program resulted in savings of 56% across 181 surgeries accepted. Knee program resulted in savings of 51% across 228 surgeries accepted. LHCG has been very successful in identifying the most cost-effective post-acute provider and moving the patient along through the continuum of care. US National Averages:* Home Health Average Cost/Admit $2,881 IRF Average Cost/Admit $13,325 SNF Average Cost/Admit $6,534 Home Self Care *Data Source: The CY 2013 Medicare SAFs for inpatient PPS, hospital outpatient PPS, skilled nursing facility PPS, inpatient rehab PPS, and physician and other Part B services. 12
