Abingdon Physician Partners

“The corporation contracted with blue ridge medical management corporation, a for-profit corporation, to perform management duties such as accounting, payroll, budgeting, financial operations, and management responsibilities.”

“The corporation is organized as a virginia non-stock, nonprofit organization with johnston memorial hospital, a section 501(c)(3) organization, as the sole member.”

“Johnston memorial hospital appoints three of the five board members, the remaining two members being appointed by a physician advisory committee.”

“Certain decisions of the governing body, such as entering into a joint venture, dissolve, merge, or relocate the corporation, and amendment of the bylaws or articles of incorporation are subject to approval by the sole member, johnston memorial hospital.”

“The cfo reviewed the form 990 with the board of directors prior to filing with the irs. The return was made available to each board member in an electronic format prior to the review.”

“Annually, the corporate audit and compliance department of msha forwards the conflict of interest policy and disclosure form to all msha management team members and board members(including app's). Employees and board members must note any conflicts or attest they have "none", and return the form to the audit and compliance department. Any noted disclosures are forwarded to the appropriate management or board personnel to evaluate and utilize when a transaction involving a conflicted person arises. Additionally, personnel who have a conflict arise between the annual distribution of the policy and forms are required to disclose the conflict and would be disciplined in any instance where they have not disclosed and engaged in a conflicted transaction.”

“On an annual basis, mountain state health alliance's human resource (h/r) department evaluates compensation for all executives at a position level of assistant vice president and above. The review includes app/jmh's ceo. H/r's evaluation is based on market data obtained from independent third- party consultants for positions with similar responsibilities at similarly situated organizations. Based on this comparable data, mountain state's president & ceo evaluates the data and submits his recommendations to mountain state's board of directors for their final review and approval. In addition, mountain states offers an incentive plan to executives based on targeted achievement metrics set in advance of the pay year. Established metrics include: communication with patients, patient evidence-based care scores and patient safety, value-based purchasing, etc. These same metrics are used for all employees throughout msha, with only a small number of exceptions for our companies that do not provide direct patient care.”

“Similar to app/jmh's ceo, app/jmh's cfo receives compensation that complies with mountain state's salary policy and undergoes the same review and approval process by mountain state's board of directors as the ceo, as described in 15a. His pay is set at a market percentile specific to his positon as cfo of app and jmh (app's sole member). Two app physicians serve on app's board. Their compensation relates to medical services they provide to app; neither receives compensation as a result of their board service. Board member, steve kilgore, receives compensation from a related organization for his position with the related organization; he does not receive compensation for his app board service.”

“Governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are made available upon request to appropriate parties requesting them. Financial statements are made available to those parties who own indebtedness of the company on a quarterly basis.”
