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 1a
Tax gross-up payments related to deferred compensation are provided to certain executives and managers. Amounts are included in taxable compensation.
Part I, Line 3
Covenant Health, the parent company of Cumberland Medical Center, used the following methods in establishing the compensation of President/CEO, James D. VanderSteeg: compensation committee, independent compensation consultant, written employment contract, compensation survey or study, and approval by the board or compensation committee. Additional detail is provided in response to Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and 15b within Schedule O.
Part I, Lines 4a-b
David Bunch, Former President/CAO of Cumberland Medical Center, received a severance payment $190,416 during 2023. The amount is included in taxable compensation. His termination date was August 5, 2022. Covenant Health maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation ("NQDC") plan intended to support retention of President and CEO, James D. VanderSteeg, and EVP and CFO, Joseph C. Dolan (plan effective 8-1-2023). Employer contributions of $340,032 are reported as deferred compensation on Schedule J, Part II, Column C. Contributions along with 2023 earnings of $92,131 are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Amounts are combined with other compensation and considered for reasonableness. Compensation procedures are discussed in detail in Schedule O (Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a). Please note that the amounts included in Part II, Column C as contributions to the NQDC plan for James D. VanderSteeg and other executive leaders are deferred but NOT received during the filing year. We report compensation in both the year earned and the year paid, as required by IRS guidelines; however, wages appear overstated due to dual reporting of compensation earned in one year and distributed in a subsequent year.

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.
