Each one of those areas has an opportunity to review, ask questions and make comments back to the tax department of ghi before the form 990 is completed and presented to the governing body of shs. Shs makes available to the governing body (board of directors) a copy of the 990 for review and comment prior to the filing of the 990 return. This copy is provided to the full board of directors in a pre-meeting packet, and is an agenda item at the meeting. This process is documented in the written meeting minutes.”

The legal department of healthpartners reviews the questionnaire responses and develops a report detailing any potentially material conflicts for the president and chair of the board.

Board agendas and executive decisions are monitored in relation to this policy.”
