Long on EP5 transition and 60% finding new coverage

No problem.

I got the three here.

So the first is a very interesting one.

Just to rewind for everybody, EP5 went away on July 1st of this summer.

Among the statistic you're referencing, I believe, was in an article in Cranes from September 4th,

where it was found that 59% of people that had been in EP5, this is using New York State data, had enrolled in a different insurance plan since July 1st.

So one thing I want to say is there was an open question when EP5 went away.

Nobody knew whether 0% of people were going to find another insurance plan, 100% where that number would fall.

And the answer, at least as of September 4th, was around 60% of people that had been on EP5 had found another insurance plan.

So not NYC care, but another insurance plan.

Many of them went into a different EP category, one, two, three, or four.

Many of them went into Medicaid because based on a change of their income.

And thousands of them on the level of thousands went into NYC care.

But what we've seen is, to me, the conclusion here is that we had a very concerted effort at New York City Health and Hospitals for our patients that

had the coverage through EP5 to talk to them right away, early and often, and try to see what they'd be eligible for, another insurance plan or things.

things like that.

So the fact that we, with our efforts and the efforts of others, we're able to help six out of every 10 people in just the first two months alone enroll in another insurance plan shows us that if

we can do a good job with a very hard, very concerted effort to close communication with all of our patients,

to be in touch with them and to make sure that they can stay on an insurance plan.

Is that going to work for everybody?

Absolutely not.

But this gave us a lot of clues about what doing a good job is and how we can get ready for the Medicaid transition.

That was your third question.

Maybe I'll skip to your third question.

I'll go back to your second one.
