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 — 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

  • 1a · Health or social club dues or initiation fees
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
SOCIAL CLUB DUES ARE PROVIDED TO ONE MEMBER OF THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM WHO USES THE CLUB MEMBERSHIPS FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. THESE PAYMENTS ARE TREATED AS NON-TAXABLE.
PART I, LINE 1B
ALL INVOICES FOR PAYMENT OF SOCIAL CLUB DUES AND ASSOCIATED MONTHLY EXPENSES ARE PAID PURSUANT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER BUSINESS EXPENSE POLICY AND SOCIAL CLUB DUES POLICY.
PART I, LINE 3
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2023, COMPENSATION FOR THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS WAS ESTABLISHED AND PAID BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH USED ONE OR MORE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 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. SEE SCHEDULE O DISCLOSURE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
PART I, LINES 4A-B
PART I LINE 4A THE MEDICAL CENTER MADE SEVERANCE PAYMENTS TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AND THESE SEVERANCE PAYMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE INDIVIDUALS' W-2 INCOME AND REPORTABLE COMPENSATION ON PART VII AND SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(III). THE FOLLOWING REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS DURING THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR: KATERIE CHAPMAN - $756,603; MICHAEL GLENN - $34,333. PART I LINE 4B THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP). THE SERP IS A 457(F) NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN PURSUANT TO WHICH PLAN BENEFITS ARE SUBJECT TO A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE. THE PLAN WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD'S COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE, A COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS TO WHOM THE BOARD DELEGATES THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER'S MOST SENIOR EXECUTIVES. THE COMMITTEE RECEIVES ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO ENSURE THAT COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS, INCLUDING THE SERP, ARE MARKET COMPETITIVE AND REASONABLE. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS SUCH AS THIS ARE CUSTOMARY FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. DURING THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR, COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION, 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. DUE TO THE "SUPER" VESTING RULES UNDER THE 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 2023 CONTRIBUTIONS IN CASH. DURING 2023, THE FOLLOWING PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE SUPER VESTING RULES: KETUL PATEL, $246,662
SCHEDULE J, PART II - COMPENSATION FROM AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION
VIRGINIA MASON MEDICAL CENTER 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 2023. LIST OF OFFICERS WHO RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION: KETUL PATEL - $2,645,540 LIST OF OFFICERS WHO RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM FRANCISCAN HEALTH SYSTEM, AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION: DAVID NOSACKA - $695,640
