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

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 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 4b
During 2023, the following individuals were able to defer compensation under a nonqualified plan. Albert Wright received deferred contributions of 362,807 from related party Nicholas Barcellona received deferred contributions of 50,769 from related party and Stacey Armstrong received deferred contributions of 62,400. The amounts reported here are included in Part II Column C of the Schedule J. Column C can and does include amounts that were contributed as a part of the standard retirement package if it was available to the employee during the year.
Part I Line 4b
Under the West Virginia United Health System certain individuals reported in Part VII participated in a nonqualified retirement plan and received direct cash payments instead of deferral of income. Douglas Coffman received cash distributions of 58,370. These distributions were paid directly to the recipient by WVUHS, reported on their W-2 and are reported in Part II, Column Biii. These amounts are reported along with other types of retirement contributions for the individuals listed and other that are not a part of the nonqualified plan.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
