“When the hospital was formed in 1969, some community members purchased the hospital from sisters of charity. As these original members decease, their membership is lost. An annual meeting is scheduled in september of each year with a public notice posted in the local paper. The remaining original members may attend the meeting; however, they are not active members and do not have voting rights.”

“A copy of the 990 is provided to the cfo who reviews the form, schedules, and related attachments. The finance committee is designated by the board of trustees to assume responsibility for oversight of the 990 and is also part of the review process. Any comments or questions are addressed with the preparer and a final approval is given to the preparer before finalizing. Once management is satisfied with the 990, the cfo signs form 8879-te authorizing the preparer to e-file the return.”

“Article ii of the bylaws states that, at a minimum, each member of the board will execute the conflict of interest form at the commencement of the term or in the event of any change that may develop. The conflict of interest guidelines are monitored by the cha corporate compliance officer. The compliance officer attends new employee orientation and presents the policy as part of the overall corporate legal compliance program. Each employee is presented with a conflict of interest statement. All potential conflicts are disclosed. If any potential conflicts are identified, the compliance officer will meet with the employee's supervisor and administration to determine if a conflict exists. On an annual basis, all employees and the board of directors are required to read and sign the conflict of interest statement. The corporate compliance officer tracks the receipt and completion of the conflict of interest statements. The process is a part of the annual employee requirements mandated for continued employment.”

“The sources utilized by cha in regard to fair market value in salaries are salary data published by the economic research institute (eri), the montana hospital association (mha) annual salary survey and executive compensation surveys published by critical data, inc. These surveys are utilized for setting the salary levels of employees at cha. The mha survey itemizes all hospitals as a group, cah hospitals and hospitals by region. Eri calculates based on position and location. Challenges exist when cha job descriptions are unique and therefore, may not be listed as a job category in the mha survey. In regard to setting the salary levels of physicians, cha utilizes the mgma physician compensation and production survey. This survey itemizes salaries and productivity by physician specialty, years in practice, geographic region and other categories. Cha strives to pay market level salaries to all employees of the organization. It is our goal to recruit and retain top talent in every venue, while controlling salary and benefits costs within established targets.”

“See form 990, part vi, line 15a.”

“Cha makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
