“Park nicollet group prepares the form 990 within the finance department with assistance from individuals in human resources, marketing, operations and legal. Upon completion of gathering the necessary information for the return, the form was reviewed by the park nicollet group's accounting firm. Drafts of the form were also reviewed by the director of finance, vice president of finance, chief financial officer, the legal department and the audit and compliance committee. After all reviews were complete; the form 990 was given to each member of the board of directors prior to filing the return.”

“The park nicollet 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 asked 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 ending with a reminder to covered persons of 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.”

“Park nicollet health service's (pnhs) president and its officers are employed by either group health plan, inc. (ghi), a related organization, or by pnhs. Ghi and pnhs have an annual process to review the market comparability of the total compensation of the pnhs's president and other officers. 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. Based on this data, the compensation committee of ghi (the "committees") determine minimum and maximum total compensation ranges 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 committee reviews and approves each year's compensation results. In all cases, committee members complete an annual conflict of interest survey to assure the compensation committee 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. The ceo of ghi conducts the annual performance review and determines the compensation of the pnhs president. The pnhs president or other officers delegated by the pnhs president (with authority to further delegate to executives with leadership roles of park nicollet officers) conducts annual performance reviews and determine the compensation of all pnhs-employed officers within the compensation ranges determined by the committee. Any exceptions in excess of the approved ranges need to be approved by the executive committee. Total compensation is appropriately documented on the form 990 and on the employee's w-2”
