“Mayo clinic, mayo foundation for medical education and research, and other related companies provide management services to the entire system of entities. Since the entities are related organizations, compensation for the officers, directors, key employees, and highest compensated employees has been disclosed in part vii and schedule j as required.”

“The sole corporate member is mayo clinic.”

“The member is responsible for appointing replacement directors for vacancies occurring before term expirations.”

“The member must approve management of property and assets, mergers and consolidations, and amendments to articles of incorporation and bylaws.”

“The form 990 is prepared by mayo corporate tax with assistance from site accounting staff. The tax return goes through two levels of review within the corporate tax unit. It is then reviewed by finance staff. A copy of the form 990 is then provided to each member of the filing organization's governing body via us mail, e-mail, or distribution at a board meeting. All questions are addressed prior to filing the form 990.”

“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 compensation and benefits of the chief executive officer (ceo) and the chief administrative officer (cao) were reviewed and approved by the process described below for executive leadership. The compensation and benefits of the executive 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. In addition, the mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee directly retains an independent third-party compensation consultant to provide relevant, contemporaneous benchmark information for a small group of senior physician, administrative, and executive leadership positions for which an individualized review and recommendation is made.”

“The filing organization's governing documents are not available to the public. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request and also on the mayoclinic.org website. The filing organization is a hospital affiliated with mayo clinic. As such, mayo clinic's consolidated audited financial statements are attached to the filing organization's form 990 and would be available upon request of the form 990.”

“Independent voting board members of the governing body - the board of trustees of mayo clinic, the parent entity of mayo clinic-affiliated entities, is comprised of more than 50% public trustees.”
