“As part of the sentara health system ("the system"), the organization followed processes and procedures set forth in its governing documents to ensure compliance with its obligations as a 501(c)(3) healthcare organization to pay disqualified persons reasonable compensation. Such processes and procedures are intended to establish the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the internal revenue code section 4958 regulations. The compensation philosophy of the organization is to base overall compensation and benefits for executives on not-for-profit market comparables, taking into consideration the individual skills, experience, tenure and performance of the executive being compensated and overall performance of the organization. In line with this philosophy, the organization performed substantial due diligence as to market comparables. The compensation committee, which consists of independent board members without conflicts of interest, engaged an outside consultant, who reports to the compensation committee, to conduct a study assessing the competitiveness of total compensation (including cash compensation, benefits and perquisites) of its senior executives prior to making decisions regarding annual base salary adjustments, approving incentive awards, or considering programmatic changes. The study compared the compensation of the organization's senior executives to compensation data from published survey sources based on each senior executive's functional responsibility. In conducting the study, the consultant targeted other not-for-profit health systems of similar size based on net revenue and complexity. For health plan positions, health plans with similar premiums, or members, were targeted. The consultant also conducts a review of the organization's performance every year. The most recent study compared sentara's performance to 29 not-for-profit healthcare systems, and 38 independent and integrated delivery system-owned health plans based on net revenue growth, operating margin, various clinical quality metrics and patient satisfaction. Overall, the consultant determined that sentara's pay was aligned with its relative performance. The compensation study was presented to the organization's compensation committee, which made its compensation decisions based on a) its review and analysis of the performance of both the organization and its senior executives and, b) a reasonableness of compensation analysis and opinion from an external expert in the compensation of executives in the tax-exempt health care field. The committee's bases for its decisions were documented in committee minutes taken during the meetings and then circulated for review and approval. All decisions regarding compensation were made by the committee, which consists of independent board members without conflict of interests. The outside market study described above was also used to establish compensation for the organization's president/secretary, treasurer, and vice chairman. The president/secretary is considered the top management official of the organization. Results were presented to the president and ceo of the system for review and approval rather than the system's compensation committee.”

The number reported is a best estimate of the 1099s attributable to the organization.
