Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2022, COMPENSATION FOR THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL WAS ESTABLISHED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH USED THE FOLLOWING TO ESTABLISH THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL'S COMPENSATION: (1) COMPENSATION COMMITTEE; (2) INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT; (3) COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY; (4) APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
PART I, LINE 4B
CERTAIN REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS ARE COVERED BY AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 9 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EXECUTIVE'S POSITION, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY. DURING THE 2022 CALENDAR YEAR, COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH ("COMMONSPIRIT") MAINTAINED A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIVISION CEOS/PRESIDENTS AND OTHER DESIGNATED COMMONSPIRIT EXECUTIVES AT THE LEVEL OF SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND ABOVE. DURING 2022 THE FOLLOWING DISTRIBUTIONS WERE MADE BY COMMONSPIRIT FROM THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: KETUL J PATEL, $303,924. DUE TO THE "SUPER" VESTING RULES UNDER COMMONSPIRIT'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE MET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE, AGE, AGE AND YEARS OF SERVICE, OR MORE THAN 5 YEARS OF PLAN PARTICIPATION ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THEIR 2022 CONTRIBUTIONS IN CASH. THESE CASH PAYOUTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPANT'S REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN COLUMN (III) OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION ON SCHEDULE J PART II. DURING 2022, THE FOLLOWING PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE SUPER VESTING RULES: KETUL J PATEL, $212,946.
SCHEDULE J, PART II:
BENAROYA RESEARCH INSTITUTE AT VIRGINIA MASON FOLLOWS COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST COMMONSPIRIT IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE COMMONSPIRIT TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES, IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITIES COMMONSPIRIT SERVES, PROMOTING PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION, AND ENSURING FINANCIAL STABILITY. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS PERFORMANCE BASED AND IS LINKED TO ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THESE GOALS INCLUDE ATTAINMENT OF ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, CERTAIN HEALTHCARE QUALITY STANDARDS AND COMMONSPIRIT'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHICH INCLUDES BASE SALARY, ANNUAL, AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, IS ESTABLISHED TO APPROXIMATE THE PREVAILING MARKET CONDITIONS FOR EXECUTIVES OF COMPANIES OF SIMILAR SIZE, REVENUES AND COMPLEXITY. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GOAL WERE PAID IN CALENDAR YEAR 2022. KETUL PATEL WAS COMPENSATED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH FOR HIS SERVICES TO BENAROYA RESEARCH INSTITUTE. FOR 990 PURPOSES, COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH IS AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION, SO COMPENSATION HAS BEEN PRESENTED AS PAID BY BENAROYA RESEARCH INSTITUTE.
