Explanation
Corporate Conflict of Interest Policy
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
The Healthcare System began utilizing conflict of interest surveys in the 1970's and codified its procedure in a policy in 1980. The policy is monitored by our Corporate Compliance Department through annual surveys of board members, corporate officers, management level employees, and other selected employees, physicians and vendors for all of its entities and related affiliates. In addition to responding to the survey, each recipient affirms that they have received a copy of the policy, has read and understood it, has agreed to comply with it, and understands that Memorial Hermann is a charitable organization that must engage in primarily tax-exempt purpose activities. The Corporate Compliance Department, Chief Legal Officer and the Corporate Audit Committee, consisting of independent board members, review and investigate all survey responses and report to the Corporate Board of Directors on the existence of any conflicts.
Compensation Determination
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 15a and 15b
Describe the process for determining compensation for the corporate officers and key employees of the organization. The process for determining compensation for the Organization's CEO and other top management is modeled after the requirements in Internal Revenue Code Section 4958 to establish the presumption of reasonable compensation. Compensation was reviewed and approved by a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, which is comprised of independent persons. By engaging an independent compensation consultant, the Committee considered comparable market data from published surveys and Form 990 of comparable organizations in evaluating the compensation for each individual. The Committee conducted a review of this comparability data and documented its deliberation and discussion in minutes that are retained with the other governance materials of the Organization. The Committee followed the process to establish the presumption that compensation paid to the Organization's CEO and other top management for purposes of Section 4958 by relying on professional advice in the written opinion of reasonableness from the independent compensation consultant. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE PAID BY CORPORATION OR AFFILIATE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ENTITY AND NO TIME OR SALARY IS ALLOCATED. CORPORATE OFFICERS PERFORM ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES FOR MULTIPLE RELATED ENTITIES FOR WHICH NO INTERUNIT ALLOCATION OF TIME OR SALARY IS MADE. DIRECTORS ARE VOLUNTARY CITIZENS OF COMMUNITY WHO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES WITHOUT COMPENSATION FOR HOURS DEVOTED TO BOARD WORK.
Oversight Review of Financial Statements
Form 990, Part XI, Line 2c
Does the organization have a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit, review, or compilation of its financial statements and selection of independent accountant? Memorial Hermann Healthcare System has independent committees for audits, governance, and compensation which perform their respective functions on a consolidated basis for all corporate entities. The audit committee hires the independent accountants and oversees all audits that are conducted within all affiliated entities for financial information, grants and awards, and qualified plans.

Disclosure of Organizational Documents
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
Describe how the organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public. The articles of incorporation, corporate bylaws, conflict of interest policy and financial statements of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System and its affiliates are generally not made available to the public. If the inquirer provided a valid reason for desiring a copy of the documents that are related to the business interests of any of the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System corporate entities, we would consider doing so.
Review of Form 990
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 10
Was a copy of Form 990 provided to governing body before being filed? Describe the process, if any, the organization uses to review the Form 990. Memorial Hermann Hospital System provides a copy of the Form 990 to any member of the governing body that requests one. The Form 990 is reviewed by Memorial Hermann financial accounting staff, by specific departments involved in related sections of the return, by the Memorial Hermann Chief Accounting Officer, prior to its filing and by Memorial Hermann's public accounting firm Ernst & Young.
