“Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a comprehensive conflict of interest policy applicable to all of the affiliated entities and to all directors, officers, and employees of those entities. All current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees and highest compensated employees who we anticipate will be listed on a form 990 are asked to complete an "annual tax and compliance disclosure" form. This information is reviewed by both the corporate tax department and the office of conflict of interest review. All disclosures of current or proposed activity that require action under the policy are the subject of ongoing review and action through the office of conflict of interest review and the conflict of interest review board. Involved individuals are informed of all required action. Many types of relationships that could create conflicts of interest are prohibited. Other types of relationships are permitted subject to compliance with the management plan established by the conflict of interest review board. A common management strategy for permitted activities is to require bilateral recusal and appropriate documentation in the minutes of mayo clinic (and/or affiliate) and the outside entity. Additional conflict of interest policies and procedures exist for certain entities concerning research contracts and other types of potential conflicts.”

“The filing organization is an affiliate of mayo clinic. Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a coordinated process for reviewing and approving compensation and benefits for physicians, executive and senior administrative leadership, along with allied health staff. In addition to any review and approval that may take place at the local entity or regional level, the following independent approval process occurs annually prior to implementation of the respective compensation increase. The salaries and benefit programs of the chief executive officer (ceo) and the chief administrative officer (cao) were reviewed and approved by the process described below for senior administrative leadership. The compensation and benefit programs for senior administrative leadership for all campuses, including the mayo clinic health system locations, are reviewed and approved by the mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee. The mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee is comprised of nine of the external independent members of the mayo clinic board of trustees. This group reviews and approves the compensation and benefit programs for physicians from all campuses, as well as certain senior administrative and executive leadership (including all persons believed to be disqualified persons). This process establishes acceptable ranges for various positions, levels, and specialties. The committee uses comparability data (including third-party benchmarking surveys) in its review and documents decisions in its minutes.”
