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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part I, Line 7
- Bonuses were approved at the discretion of the Board and Management for meeting certain criteria. Compensation for the CEO is determined via a compensation committee, information, board approval and written employment contract. Physician contracts include a provision that they may earn the following bonuses: Productivity, Quality and Patient Experience. The Quality and Patient Experience bonuses are granted if particular targets are met, and the maximum bonus for each of these is $3,000. The Productivity Bonus is established to reward efficiency and access. The bonus is paid when the physician has exceeded a predetermined target which is established using market compensation and productivity data of similar type organizations.
