Operating costs
The Health and Well-Being Services segment operating cost ratio decreased 110 basis points from
2010 to 96.1% for 2011 reflecting scale efficiencies associated with growth in our pharmacy solutions
business together with the addition of our acquired Concentra operations which carry a lower operating
cost ratio than other lines of business in this segment.
Other Businesses
Pretax income for our Other Businesses of $84 million for 2011 compared to pretax losses of $2 million for 2010.
Pretax losses for 2010 include the impact of a net charge of $139 million associated with reserve strengthening for our
closed block of long-term care policies. Excluding this charge, the year-over-year decline primarily reflects a decrease
in pretax income associated with our contract with CMS to administer the LI-NET program.
