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

  • 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 3
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2023, COMPENSATION FOR THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL WAS ESTABLISHED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, A RELATED 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 1, LINE 4A:
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. CERTAIN REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS ARE COVERED BY A NON-EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 2 WEEKS TO 52 WEEKS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EMPLOYEE'S POSITION AND TENURE, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY. THE FOLLOWING REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS DURING THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR, 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): EVERT KUIPER, $2,025,542; JEANETTE WOJTALEWICZ, $1,083,464; DEREK VANCE, $658,888. IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY, DIGNITY HEALTH'S LISTED PERSONS ARE PROVIDED WITH MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 9-24 MONTHS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EXECUTIVE'S POSITION, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION.
PART 1, LINE 4B:
DURING THE 2023 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 2023 THE FOLLOWING DISTRIBUTIONS WERE MADE BY COMMONSPIRIT FROM THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: DEREK VANCE, $40,496. 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 2023 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 2023, THE FOLLOWING PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE SUPER VESTING RULES: DEREK VANCE, $5,215.
PART 1, LINE 4B (CONTINUED)
CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS EMPLOYED BY DIGNITY HEALTH PARTICIPATE IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN, A NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN LIMITED TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH RETIREMENT PLAN WHOSE BENEFITS ARE AFFECTED BY THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY SECTIONS 401(A)(17) AND 415 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. BENEFIT SERVICE UNDER THIS PLAN WAS FROZEN AS OF JANUARY 1, 2008. CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS EMPLOYED BY DIGNITY HEALTH ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN NON-QUALIFIED 457(F) PLANS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE, AS REQUIRED BY THE IRS. THE 2007 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN IS FOR EXECUTIVES HIRED PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2006. THE BENEFIT IS INTENDED TO BRIDGE THE DIFFERENCE, IF ANY, BETWEEN THE BENEFIT PROVIDED UNDER THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN HAD BENEFIT SERVICE NOT BEEN FROZEN AT JANUARY 1, 2008, AND THE BENEFITS PROVIDED FROM ALL OTHER QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED PLANS. BENEFITS VEST UNDER THIS 457(F) PLAN AT THE LATER OF THE DATE THE PARTICIPANT ATTAINS AGE 62 OR IS CREDITED WITH 15 YEARS OF SERVICE. THE 2010 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN IS FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, PRIMARILY THOSE WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN OR THE 2007 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS BENEFIT PROVIDES AN ANNUAL ACCRUAL OF 10% OF TOTAL COMPENSATION AND IS PAYABLE ANNUALLY ON JULY 1 ONCE VESTED, WHICH IS AGE 62 WITH 5 YEARS OF SERVICE. THE PLAN ALSO ALLOWS FOR SPECIAL AWARDS. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OCCURRED DURING 2023 INCLUDING J. PETERSDORF, $713,173. CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS EMPLOYED BY DIGNITY HEALTH PARTICIPATE IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETENTION/RETIREMENT PLAN, A NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN WHICH IN 2002 WAS OFFERED TO MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM BY THE DIGNITY HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WOULD BE PAID ONLY IF THE EXECUTIVES STAYED WITH THE ORGANIZATION FOR A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF YEARS AS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE RETENTION AND RETIREMENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM IS RECRUITED FROM STABLE CAREERS IN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND FROM VARIOUS INDUSTRIES. DUTIES ARE BOTH EXTENSIVE AND COMPLEX AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL AND DIVERSE EXPERIENCE AND SKILL SETS TO EXECUTE THEIR ROLES SUCCESSFULLY. THE CALCULATION FOR THE PAYMENTS TO EACH EXECUTIVE ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF A FINAL AVERAGE PAY ANNUITY BENEFIT BASED ON RETIREMENT AGE AND SERVICE YEARS TO THE ORGANIZATION. DISTRIBUTION OCCURS EACH JULY 1 IF THE PLAN FORMULA WARRANTS A PAYMENT. NO PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENT OCCURRED DURING 2023.
PART II:
NEBRASKA HEART HOSPITAL 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.
