“Hpi-ramsey is the sole corporate member of cvtcc.”

“Hpi-ramsey, the sole corporate member, elects three directors of the four member board of directors”

“Cvtcc's 990 return has a comprehensive review process that is followed before it is presented to the governing body of cvtcc. The review process includes a layered review by the tax department of group health plan, inc. (ghi), the management team of cvtcc, ghi's internal legal department and cvtcc's outside independent accountants. 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 cvtcc. Cvtcc makes available to the governing body (board of directors) a copy of the 990 for review and comment prior to the filing of the 990 return.”

“The cvtcc board monitors potential conflicts of interest on the part of its board members, principal officers, members of committees with board delegated powers, and key employees ("covered persons") by maintaining a conflict of interest policy. Under the policy, covered persons annually are provided with a copy of the policy and requested to complete a questionnaire identifying any potential conflicts of interests. The legal department of healthpartners reviews the questionnaire responses and develops a report detailing any potentially material conflicts for the president and chair of the board. A verbal summary is also given to the full board or appropriate committee, and reinforces the policy's mandate that each person is obligated to disclose any new potential conflicts as they may arise throughout the year. Board agendas and executive decisions are monitored in relation to this policy.”

“Certain cvtcc officers, directors, key employees, and highest compensated employees (employees)are employed by group health plan, inc. (ghi) a related organization, or by cvtcc. Ghi and cvtcc have an annual process to review the market comparability of the total compensation of employees. Every three years, the independent compensation committee of the ghi board of directors (the "committee"), retains an external compensation expert to conduct an extensive market comparability review for all officers of the organization. The review includes all components of total compensation: base salary, annual incentives, benefits and perquisites. The market survey results are presented to, reviewed by and approved by the appropriate committee or the cvtcc board of directors (the "committees"). Based on this data, minimum and maximum total compensation ranges are determined for each employed officer. In interim years, ghi's human resources staff, under the committees' direction, updates changes in the salary structure based on the same independent studies performed by the compensation consultant for the committee. For certain positions full independent reviews are performed to set salary ranges based on the competitive market data specific to those positions. The committees review and approve each year's compensation results. In all cases, the committees' members complete an annual conflict of interest survey to assure the committees members' independence and this is updated at any meeting at which decisions are being made. Staff (other than the secretary to the board) is not in the room during deliberations or vote including executive sessions, and contemporaneous minutes are kept. With cvtcc's board of directors input, the vice president chief improvement officer conducts the annual performance review and, with the board's approval, determines the compensation of the cvtcc administrator. Any exceptions to compensation in excess of the approved ranges are approved by the cvtcc board of directors. Total compensation is appropriately documented on the form 990 and w2 statements.”

“Cvtcc's financial statements and 990 returns are made available to any person who requests the information from cvtcc or healthpartners. Cvtcc's articles of incorporation are available to any person who requests the information through the minnesota secretary of state's office. Cvtcc's conflict of interest policy through its related organization, healthpartners, inc. Can be viewed through the healthpartners.com website.”
