“Osf multi-specialty group makes its form 990 and documentation of its exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the code available for public inspection and copying upon request in accordance with section 6104 of the internal revenue code. Names and addresses of contributors are not disclosed. Requests may be made in person, in writing, or by telephone. Requests made in person are accepted at the facility.

“Compensation for the organization's top management official is paid by osf healthcare system, a related tax exempt organization. The board of directors has established a board committee known as the human resources committee whose members are all professed members of the religious congregation known as the sisters of the third order of st. Francis who have taken a vow of poverty. Hence, they do not personally benefit from decisions of the committee. The chief executive officer (ceo) is not a member of the committee. The performance of the ceo and his achievement of annual goals is evaluated each year by the full board of directors. The committee also obtains compensation survey data and recommendations from a nationally recognized independent compensation consultant. Based on all of these factors, the committee sets the base salary and benefits of the ceo and approves the executive compensation plan applicable to the ceo. Prior to payment of any bonus or incentive compensation, the total compensation for the ceo, including base salary, benefits, and proposed bonus or incentive compensation, is again reviewed by a nationally recognized compensation consultant to ensure that no excess benefit amount is paid or furnished. Because the organization's top management official is not paid by the filing organization, the form 990 instructions require this to be answered "no."”

“Disclosures by officers, directors and trustees, as well as key employees and employees charged with purchasing, procurement and contracting decision-making are made through an electronic reporting system on an annual basis. Disclosures are received and reviewed by the corporate compliance division. If a potential conflict of interest is identified, then the disclosing individual is notified of the potential conflict and may be asked for additional information about the interest. The corporate compliance division determines whether a plan to manage a possible or actual conflict of interest is needed, discusses the management plan with the individual and monitors the employee's compliance with the plan. Plans to manage conflicts are tracked through the electronic disclosure system.”

“The board of directors has established a board committee known as the human resources committee who are all professed members of a religious congregation that owns or is associated with the healthcare system who have taken a vow of poverty. Hence, they do not personally benefit from decisions of the committee. The committee determines which officers, key employees and other employees are eligible to participate in the executive compensation plan. Based on performance reviews by the supervisors of such persons and compensation survey data and recommendations from a nationally known independent compensation consultant, the committee approves any executive compensation plan applicable to key employees and establishes the base salary and benefits for plan participants. Prior to payment of any bonus or incentive compensation, the total compensation for each key employee, including base salary, benefits, and proposed bonus or incentive compensation, is again reviewed by a nationally recognized compensation consultant to ensure that no "excess benefit" amount is paid or furnished. Some key employees listed in part vii are practicing physicians who are listed as key employees as a result of the compensation they receive and not due to any executive or management position which they hold. Such physicians generally are not participants in the executive compensation plan, and their compensation, including base salary, benefits, and any applicable bonus or incentive compensation, is established in accordance with nationally recognized physician compensation surveys and is set forth in written employment agreements which are approved by the board of directors or its executive committee. The compensation review is done annually in november. Osf multi-specialty group has a compensation committee that is responsible for the review and oversight of the physician compensation plans. The compensation committee meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for the monitoring and recommendation of the compensation plan to the board.”
