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

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings

Answered no

  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 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
CEO compensation is determined by the WV United Health System compensation committee. The System engages an independent group to perform an executive compensation review and compensation survey annually. This information is provided to the committee, which is made up of independent board members who are then responsible for setting the compensation packages offered to each executive, ensuring that the compensation package offered does not exceed fair market value.
Part I Line 6a
Per the WVUHS Incentive Plan incentives are contingent on meeting a net earning target.
Part I Line 4b
David Hess received deferred compensation from related parties in the amount of 102,275. John Forester received 46,534 deferred compensation from the filing organization and related parties combined. These amounts were properly recorded in deferred compensation on the Form 990 Schedule J.
Part I Line 4a
Robin Eckhart received 132,127 in severance pay in 2024.
