PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL. Copyright © 2014 McKesson Corporation and/or one of its subsidiaries. Challenges and Promise of Advanced Diagnostics 3 Nearly 30% of MDx claims paid incorrectly Lack of test specificity and identification makes it difficult to determine coverage or analyze what is being paid The MDx market is exploding, over 3000 MDx tests exist now Molecular Diagnostics (MDx) are rapidly growing: Diagnostics have significant downstream cost impact Tests and their processes are complex and the science is progressing rapidly Nearly 30% of MDx claims paid incorrectly 1 Lack of test specificity and identification makes it difficult to determine coverage or analyze what is being paid The number, type, and complexity of MDx tests are growing rapidly 10,000 2 and counting Impact Problem Cause Source: 1.

Tier 1 Codes are gene specific but not test specific  Example: is used for the following specific tests Alpha thalassemia targeted mutation analysis of HBA1 Alpha thalassemia targeted mutation analysis of HBA2 Alpha thalassemia sequence analysis of HBA1 Alpha thalassemia sequence analysis of HBA2 Alpha thalassemia known family-specific mutation analysis Tier 2 Codes are methodology specific but not test specific  Example: (Level 2) is used for these disparate tests (germline & somatic) Achondroplasia Mutation Analysis ColoVantage® (methylated Septin 9) Huntington Disease Mutation Analysis Mantle Cell Lymphoma, bcl-1/JHt(11;14), Real-time PCR, Cell based Need for Greater Granularity 4

Payers, Labs, Providers have the same problem… 10 Balancing Cost & Quality of Care … we need a new way to collaboratively work together to solve it Balancing Value Cost & Quality of Care How do we give patients the right care without the administrative burden? How do we ensure patients get the right care at the right cost without administrative burden?

22 Bring unique identification to MDx where growth exceeds the ability to keep up with traditional coding structures Provides the labs the ability to differentiate their tests and ensure awareness of their utility Reduce medical costs for unnecessary or miscoded tests by enabling precise matching of reimbursement to the exact test performed Clearly adjudicate claims by eliminating variances in coding and more easily make and manage coverage policies Develop a well-informed UM program by effectively measuring utilization of diagnostics McKesson Diagnostics Exchange Helps
