covering the three dimensions relating to optimizing healthcare delivery and overall health of a
population. The three dimensions are:

the parties.

REDUCING THE PER CAPITA COST – REDUCE PMPM COST TREND
Marathon’s Performance
Client’s expected PMPM medical claims cost for the eligible population, net of fees paid to
Marathon, will be reduced as follows:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Net Reduction Target 0% 4% 6%
This is computed as follows:
Client’s expected year 1 PMPM medical claims costs for the eligible population, excluding
large cost claimants of $50,000 or above, are agreed upon between Marathon & Client.
Expected year 2 PMPM costs are computed by increasing expected year 1 costs by 5% for
medical inflation. Expected year 3 PMPM costs are computed by increasing expected year
2 costs by 6% for medical inflation.
Actual PMPM medical claims costs for each year, excluding large cost claimants of $50,000
or above, are obtained and compared to the expected costs to arrive at the Actual Gross
Reduction in PMPM Cost.
The Actual Gross Reduction in PMPM Cost is decreased by the PMPM fee paid to Marathon
to arrive at the Actual Net Reduction in PMPM Cost. The Actual Net Reduction in PMPM
Cost is divided by the expected PMPM cost for the year to determine the Actual Net
Reduction Percentage.
Fee Credits
The portion of at-risk fees attributable to Reducing the Per Capital Cost will be credited back to
the Client in accordance with the following scale:
