The Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center - EIN 04-3770052; 170(b)(1)(A)(iii); 509(a)(1) The Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (the Center) was organized to conduct scientific research and education: (a) to prevent the development and use of biological weapons; (b) to catalyze advances in science and governance that diminish the power of biological weapons as agents of mass lethality; and (c) to lessen the human suffering that would result if the prevention efforts failed. Modern societies are highly vulnerable to bioattacks because global travel enables rapid spread of contagious diseases. Adequate response is not dependent on military strength, but on medical and public health systems and the availability of effective drugs and vaccines. To counter the threat of bioterrorism, the United States is developing a new paradigm for defense, and realigning its national security priorities and investments accordingly. Hospital personnel, clinicians, public health officials and bioscientists are the frontline defenders in this new security era. An effective defense against bioattacks must include the design and construction of new operational systems that can deliver emergency medical care to a large number of critically ill individuals. To accomplish this, the time to develop new vaccines and create new drugs must be dramatically reduced in order to respond to unanticipated and bioengineered weapons. The work of the Center is intended to benefit the security of nations against biological weapons. The faculty of the Center gives presentations at medical, public health, and science meetings around the world on issues related to biodefense. The faculty of the Center serves on numerous task forces and committees that serve local, state, and international governments, and the faculty often testify before the United States Congress.

| Part III Statement of Program Service Accomplishments | Organizations Programs and Accomplishments (continued) | Community Care Behavioral Health Organization - EIN 25-1799823; 509(a)(2) Community Care Behavioral Health Organization (Community Care), is a behavioral health managed care organization (BH-MCO) which manages behavioral health services for approximately one million members whose health coverage is sponsored through Medicaid, Medicare and commercial plans. Community Care's mission is to improve the health and well-being of the community through the delivery of clinically effective, cost-efficient, and accessible behavioral health services. It seeks to improve the quality of services for members through a stakeholder partnership focused on outcomes. Community Care believes that quality is measured by the improved health of its members, which translates to higher functioning in the community. Community Care believes that the highest quality services are best provided through a not-for-profit partnership with public agencies, experienced local providers, and involved members and families. Community Care manages behavioral health services, as well as treatment for drug and alcohol abuse to Medical Assistance enrollees under contracts with certain Pennsylvania counties and with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to the HealthChoices managed care program that was established by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. Individuals eligible for the Medical Assistance program are low-income or indigent members of the community who otherwise would not be able to afford to pay for mental health therapy and treatment and/or treatment for alcohol or drug addiction or dependency. With a network of approximately 2,900 behavioral health care providers, Community Care is the only BH-MCO with contracts in every Pennsylvania HealthChoices region (Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, North Central, and Lehigh-Capital). As of June 30, 2011, Community Care managed behavioral health care for nearly 621,000 Medicaid managed care enrollees in both urban and rural settings. In addition to its HealthChoices contracts, Community Care also manages behavioral health services under a contract with its affiliate, UPMC Health Plan, and a contract with the New York Office of Mental Health. Community Care's activities include the full range of services necessary to manage effective treatment to its behavioral/mental health enrollees, including care management, treatment coordination with other healthcare providers, claims processing, and quality management pursuant to National Committee for Quality Assurance standards. In addition to being the largest non-profit BH-MCO in the country, Community Care has been awarded "full" accreditation - the highest level possible - by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). NCQA is a nationally recognized independent organization dedicated to measuring the quality of America's health care. NCQA's rigorous accreditation process includes on-site and off-site evaluations conducted by a team of physicians and managed care experts. Community Care received the highest rating given in all applicable standards. Specifically, NCQA noted Community Care's strong communications with practitioners and members, its ample network of providers, its network access standards, its strong incorporation of member input into preventive health programs, and its full collaboration with UPMC Health Plan and other physical and behavioral health practitioners. As of June 30, 2011, Community Care provided services to a population of approximately 1.4 million. Of those individuals, 621,000 or approximately 45%, are Medical Assistance recipients who pay no fee for the services provided. However, this population generates 98.6% of Community Care's total revenue earned in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Community Care also further assisted the community by way of donations to local nonprofits that exceeded $654,000. UPMC for You, Inc. - EIN 90-0174238; 509(a)(2) UPMC for You is a Managed Care Organization (MCO) licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.

| Part IV Checklist of Required Schedules | Question 12: An external audit is completed at a consolidated UPMC system level only, including UPMC and all subsidiaries. | |
| Part VI Governance, Management, and Disclosure | SECTION A: GOVERNING BODY AND MANAGEMENT | QUESTION 1: The total number of voting board members and total number of independent board members represent a composite of all of the UPMC Group subordinates. However, these numbers do not include ex-officio or other board members who are not entitled to vote on board matters or members of boards that are advisory in nature and subject to the authority of the UPMC parent board for material board decisions. Although the composite numbers for the UPMC Group do not reflect majority board independence, all of these boards are ultimately subordinate to the UPMC parent board which is comprised of a majority (greater than 60%) of independent board members. Please see the UPMC parent Form 990 for more information. Question 2: Multiple UPMC Officers, Directors, Trustees, and/or Key Employees have business relationships by virtue of the fact that they are also Officers, Directors, Trustees, and/or Key Employees of UPMC subsidiaries and affiliates, which are not separately disclosed below. The following UPMC Officers, Directors, Trustees, and/or Key Employees have business relationships, as required to be disclosed by Form 990 Part VI, Section A, Line 2, by virtue of the fact that they are also Officers, Directors, Trustees, or Key Employees of other unrelated taxable organizations. Question 6: MOST OF THE UPMC GROUP ENTITIES HAVE A SOLE MEMBER, WHICH IS UPMC PARENT. A SMALL NUMBER OF GROUP ENTITIES HAVE MORE THAN ONE MEMBER. IN ALL CASES, THE MEMBERS ARE EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS.

Question 7A and B: IN THE CASE OF MOST OF THE UPMC GROUP ENTITIES, THE MEMBER(S) APPOINT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE ENTITIES' BOARDS OF DIRECTORS (IF NOT THE ENTIRE BOARD). IN THE CASE OF MOST OF THE GROUP ENTITIES, THE MEMBER(S) ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO INITIATE, APPROVE OR OVERTURN ACTIONS OF THE ENTITIES' BOARDS. IN ADDITION, THE MEMBERS' ACTIONS, IF THE MEMBER(S) ARE NOT UPMC PARENT, ARE IN MOST CASES SUBJECT TO THE OVERALL AUTHORITY OF THE UPMC PARENT BOARD. |
| Part VI Governance, Management, and Disclosure | SECTION B: POLICIES | Question 11a & b: UPMC is the parent organization of the filing group and has, with respect to most entities in the group, the discretion and authority to initiate or veto actions taken by group member governing bodies. With respect to the remaining members, UPMC's authority is limited slightly but still significant, encompassing major matters including financial and tax matters. The completed Form 990 was reviewed by the UPMC Chief Financial Officer, members of the Corporate Tax Department, members of the Corporate Legal Department, and other members of UPMC's management prior to its filing. Various sections of the 990 were also reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer of UPMC and committees of UPMC's Board of Directors, as applicable. For example, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board reviewed sections related to compensation and related party transactions. In addition, the UPMC Board's Executive Committee established a 990 Subcommittee, comprised of the Chairs of the UPMC Board, Executive Committee, Executive Compensation Committee, Conflict of Interest Committee, Finance Committee and Audit Committee, which reviewed the entire completed Form 990. Additionally the Form 990 is reviewed by an outside independent public accounting firm who as part of the process signs the return as Paid Preparer. After this review but prior to filing, the full UPMC Board of Directors was notified that the completed Form 990 was available for review on the Board's secure website. Also prior to filing, management held a Form 990 question and answer session in which all members of the full UPMC Board were invited to participate. Question 12c: UPMC requires key employed and non-employed personnel to comply with its conflict of interest policies when they engage in UPMC-related business. People covered by the policies include: -UPMC board members, board committee members, corporate officers, and key employees -UPMC physicians and non-physician employees who hold a position of influence -Non-employed members of the UPMC medical staff who hold a position of influence or trust -Individuals conducting clinical research at UPMC, whether or not they are employed by UPMC. These people are required to complete a questionnaire at least annually, which along with other data is used to identify possible individual and institutional conflicts of interest. If a potential conflict is identified regarding a specific UPMC activity, the corporate compliance department, with the assistance of the legal department, helps to develop a written plan designed to prevent the conflict from influencing decisions related to that activity. The process is ultimately overseen by a conflict of interest committee of the UPMC board of directors on behalf of UPMC and all of its subsidiaries. In addition to the general corporate policy described above, UPMC has also developed and implemented a separate tax questionnaire distributed to Officers, Directors, Trustees, and Key Employees annually that specifically addresses disclosure requirements of Form 990. Question 15a and b: To support UPMC's mission and as set forth in the UPMC Bylaws, the Board of Directors has formed an Executive Compensation Committee ("Committee") and delegated to it the responsibility for establishment and implementation of officer and key employee total compensation programs. As part of this responsibility, at least annually, the Committee reports to the Executive Committee, which in accordance with the Bylaws, has the authority to exercise essentially all of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors. With Executive Committee approval, the Committee has adopted a formal Charter, which includes the establishment of a compensation philosophy and related policies with respect to the total compensation paid by UPMC to its officers and key employees. The UPMC total compensation program for officers and key employees is predicated upon an incentive compensation component. This component is based upon the accomplishment of predetermined performance goals and objectives which focus on the achievement of multiple annual and three year individual and group performance criteria in the context of appropriate risk taking. These criteria directly support UPMC's mission and include: patient quality and satisfaction, community benefits, operational and financial strength, leadership development, and strategic business initiatives among others. The total compensation program is integrated with and reinforces the UPMC business planning cycle as well as management development and succession planning processes. It is the Committee's judgment that the structure of the total compensation program is vital to, and strongly supportive of, the high level of ongoing success of UPMC and fosters the retention of critical officer and key employee talent. The total compensation determination process utilized by the Committee is intended to satisfy the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" as set forth in the regulations to Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). This means that compensation programs and levels are approved in advance by the Committee which is composed entirely of outside Directors who do not have a conflict of interest, as defined by the Code, with respect to the compensation program and levels. The Committee obtains and relies upon a broad range of appropriate data as to comparability prior to making its determinations. The Committee then contemporaneously documents, in formal meeting minutes, the basis and reasons for its determinations. The total compensation program is designed and administered in accordance with the UPMC Bylaws, sound business practices, the tenets of common law business judgment and fiduciary responsibility as well as adherence to all relevant federal, state and local laws. In addition to Code Section 4958, as set forth above, this includes but is not limited to Code Section 501(c)(3) and the applicable regulations thereunder as well as all laws and regulations prohibiting private inurnment, private benefit transactions and discrimination. Further, the Committee has identified and adopted, as appropriately modified for UPMC, compensation program "best practices" from the business world e.g. Sarbanes Oxley, SEC, etc. The Committee believes that while these practices are not required in the tax exempt sector, they are in the best interests of the organization and further support UPMC's nonprofit mission. In accordance with the above, determination of total compensation for the CEO is made exclusively by the Committee. Determination of total compensation for other officers and key employees is recommended by the CEO and subject to review and approval by the Committee. The Committee, which meets at least four times a year, obtains professional advice from its own experts, including accountants, executive compensation consultants and legal counsel. Question 16A and B: UPMC has a formal written policy pertaining to joint ventures between UPMC Tax-Exempt entities and taxable entities. The policy employs an internal procedure for review of all transactions involving potential participation in joint ventures and similar arrangements to ensure that such entities operate in accordance with applicable IRS policies and within UPMC's charitable purposes. |
