“Ppmns utilizes an outside compensation consultant to conduct a market analysis of ceo and executive compensation, reporting on both base pay market median and variable pay market median. The market analysis is focused on organizations that match ppmns in size, scope, and region. Multiple types of organizations are used, predominantly focused on healthcare organizations, but other industries with similar size and scope are also used in the analysis to represent the complexity of the ppmns business model. The formal analysis is completed every three years an incumbent is in the position. In the off-cycle years, trending data is used to determine movement in ceo and executive pay and is used in consideration when making adjustment recommendations or when making a determination that an off cycle market analysis is advisable. The market data is reviewed by the personnel and compensation committee comprised of independent persons who make a formal recommendation to the board of directors as it relates to establishing ceo compensation. The ceo makes the final determination of salary increases for other executive compensation, excluding her own, based on individual performance and position relative to the market median. This process was last undertaken in 2014 for the ceo, evp external affairs, and general counsel/compliance officer.”

“The organization does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, or financial statements available to the public. Summarized financial data is available in the organization's annual report available on the website.”
