The review process includes a layered review by the tax department of group health plan, inc.

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 the foundation.

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