Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11
THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY MAYO CORPORATE TAX. PRIOR TO ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE TAX DIRECTOR OF MAYO CLINIC, AN EXTERNAL TAX ADVISOR, THE CFO OF MAYO FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (MFMER) AND THE CFO OF MAYO CLINIC HEALTH SOLUTIONS, A DIVISION OF MFMER. A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS THEN PROVIDED TO EACH MEMBER OF MFMER'S GOVERNING BODY VIA US MAIL, E-MAIL, OR DISTRIBUTION AT A BOARD MEETING.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
MAYO CLINIC AND ITS AFFILIATES HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY APPLICABLE TO ALL OF THE AFFILIATED ENTITIES AND TO ALL DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THOSE ENTITIES. ALL CURRENT AND FORMER OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES WHO WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE LISTED ON A FORM 990 ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE AN "ANNUAL TAX AND COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURE" FORM. THIS INFORMATION IS REVIEWED BY BOTH THE CORPORATE TAX DEPARTMENT AND THE OFFICE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST REVIEW. ALL DISCLOSURES OF CURRENT OR PROPOSED ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRE ACTION UNDER THE POLICY ARE THE SUBJECT OF ONGOING REVIEW AND ACTION THROUGH THE OFFICE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST REVIEW AND THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST REVIEW BOARD. INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS ARE INFORMED OF ALL REQUIRED ACTION. MANY TYPES OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT COULD CREATE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE PROHIBITED. OTHER TYPES OF RELATIONSHIPS ARE PERMITTED SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE MANAGEMENT PLAN ESTABLISHED BY THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST REVIEW BOARD. A COMMON MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR PERMITTED ACTIVITIES IS TO REQUIRE BILATERAL RECUSAL AND APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IN THE MINUTES OF MAYO CLINIC (AND/OR AFFILIATE) AND THE OUTSIDE ENTITY. ADDITIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES AND PROCEDURES EXIST FOR CERTAIN ENTITIES CONCERNING RESEARCH CONTRACTS AND OTHER TYPES OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE OF MAYO CLINIC. MAYO CLINIC AND ITS AFFILIATES HAVE A COORDINATED PROCESS FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR PHYSICIANS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING INDEPENDENT APPROVAL PROCESS OCCURS ANNUALLY. THE SALARIES OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT/CFO WERE REVIEWED BY THE MAYO CLINIC SALARY AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE AND/OR THE MAYO CLINIC GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE PURSUANT TO THE PROCESS DESCRIBED BELOW FOR MAYO FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. THE MAYO CLINIC SALARY AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE INITIALLY REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION OF PHYSICIANS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP FOR THE ARIZONA, FLORIDA, AND ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA CAMPUSES. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MAYO EMPLOYEES, BUT IS INDEPENDENT FOR INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 4958 FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE SALARY IS REVIEWED (WITH RECUSAL WHERE APPROPRIATE). FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS FOR WHICH THIS COMMITTEE CAN NOT SERVE AS THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW, THEIR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE REVIEWED BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE (DESCRIBED BELOW). THE SALARY AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE USES COMPARABILITY DATA (INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY BENCHMARKING SURVEYS) IN ITS REVIEW AND DOCUMENTS DECISIONS IN ITS MINUTES. THE MAYO CLINIC COMMITTEE ON OFFICER SUCCESSION, COMPENSATION, AND GOVERNANCE (GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE) IS COMPRISED OF SEVEN OF THE EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF THE MAYO CLINIC BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THIS GROUP REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR PHYSICIANS FROM ALL CAMPUSES, INCLUDING THE MAYO HEALTH SYSTEM LOCATIONS, AS WELL AS CERTAIN SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP (INCLUDING ALL PERSONS BELIEVED TO BE DISQUALIFIED PERSONS AS DEFINED FOR PURPOSES OF IRC SECTION 4958). THIS PROCESS ESTABLISHES ACCEPTABLE RANGES FOR VARIOUS POSITIONS, LEVELS, AND SPECIALTIES. THE COMMITTEE USES COMPARABILITY DATA (INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY BENCHMARKING SURVEYS) IN ITS REVIEW AND DOCUMENTS DECISIONS IN ITS MINUTES. IN ADDITION, THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE DIRECTLY RETAINS AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE RELEVANT, CONTEMPORANEOUS BENCHMARK INFORMATION FOR A SMALL GROUP OF SENIOR PHYSICIAN, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS FOR WHICH AN INDIVIDUALIZED REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION IS MADE.
