We can anyone who is ready to do Public Comment, feel free to step to the podium. Dennis krueger, active retired firefighter. Good afternoon commissioners. Director yants. After last week or last month discussion about dental care, i spent a little time just thinking about Different Things and what i came up, i went through a 3 year period where i had my teeth cleaned twice a year and that was it. In those years delta dental rolled over my 1200
Female distribution. So you will notice that the factor one is much closer at 93 percent. You would not expect to see much changes. If you notice the average length of stay is at 5. 9. There is about 1. 75 spread between high and low and the blue line of Skilled Nursing is the most variable of them all of moving on to the cost per day, what you will notice is the current inpatient cost per day is about 62. 43. Its an annual cost of 2. 5 years. This is not unexpected and quite reasonable trend for this period of time. Moving on to page 23. There is nothing as you look at the graph and you will see it pretty flat. The only thing to draw out here is that the growth is about 1. 3 percent. There is a slight growth in er rate of 4. 6 percent and surgical cost and yet nothing above trend. Lastly looking at the procedures per thousand, again, we have the issue of the other 21,000 of the 33778 are other. And we have to work with uhc to see what goes into that very low dollar area.

Day is about 62. 43. Its an annual cost of 2. 5 years. This is not unexpected and quite reasonable trend for this period of time. Moving on to page 23.

Lastly looking at the procedures per thousand, again, we have the issue of the other 21,000 of the 33778 are other. And we have to work with uhc to see what goes into that very low dollar area. In the generic drug dispensing is 77 percent. Pat yourself on the back. This is a 48 percent increase in dispensing. Youve almost doubled it. Good job. As far as cost goes, they have gone down which is what you would expect to see in shifts in increase and shifts to generic. The cost per script has decreased 14. 9 percent to 104. 53 in quarter two. You have the same types of drugs in the actives, howeve
Versus 727 for all. So, again they are not only younger, they are not utilizeers. Moving on to page 6. What you will see here is looking at the admits per thousand. There has been a decrease in the rate of admits moving from 83. 2 percent to 65. 2 percent. Im sure doctor will agree, 83. 2 percent is a high average. Given its a ppo model, you watch it. However, one of the things that is noted is that because of the low membership, you have a lot of variability in the rates from year to year. And thats why you see some variability between reporting periods. One of the things again drawing out. Heche just to add to the discussion had no admits in the last 3 4. On slide it should be 65. 2. Yes. Im sorry. There was an error. These are admissions into the er. If we move on to page 7. 9 days per thousand. This again is reflected of the small enrollment, but if you compare it to your other two health plans, you will notice that blue shield is at 169 and kaiser 185. So what does that mean . If
Percent since 2 years ago. Again, that was the high point that we picked. What we are doing if you will looking at the 96 per thousand kaiser 464 at the in point at 62. 7. If you noticed as i mentioned earlier, the city plan is not that different in age and male female distribution. So you will notice that the factor one is much closer at 93 percent. You would not expect to see much changes. If you notice the average length of stay is at 5. 9. There is about 1. 75 spread between high and low and the blue line of Skilled Nursing is the most variable of them all of moving on to the cost per day, what you will notice is the current inpatient cost per day is about 62. 43.
