Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Schedule C, Part II-B, Lines 1a through 1i   LOBBYING ACTIVITY BY NONELECTING PUBLIC CHARITIES The Organization is a member of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program and participated in and benefited from lobbying activities conducted at the regional and national levels for the benefit of its enrolled members and for the health care industry as a whole. As an organization exempt from income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), Health Plan has a policy prohibiting internal involvement in any political campaigns. This policy is closely monitored for compliance. During the year this Organization may have made comments or statements concerning legislation which may affect the health care industry. Health Plan may have engaged in conversations with and/or written communications to various Federal, state, and local officials regarding matters which affected the healthcare industry as a whole. The amount of time and money involved in the activities is detailed on lines a through i. Health Plan employs individuals, including one or more registered lobbyists and/or may retain one or more professional consultants to represent Health Plan's interests in various legislative and regulatory bodies and from time-to-time to keep informed about Federal and state legislation having an impact on Health Plan's charitable activities as an exempt Health Maintenance Organization. These individuals attempt to ensure that proposed legislation and enacted laws are compatible with the interests of Health Plan and its members by performing the following activities: (I) Collecting, analyzing and distributing within the Organization, public and private policy recommendations regarding proposed legislation that affect the operation of Health Plan and its ability to provide quality health and medical care services to its members in a cost effective environment. (II) Providing appropriate informational materials to legislators and to their staffs that pertain to matters of common interest in the health care community and in the not-for-profit community. (III) Also by preparing written and oral testimony, these individuals appear at legislative hearings, monitor legislative proceedings and meet with legislators and/or their staffs regarding issues pertinent to the mission of Health Plan. Those individuals appearing at such hearings and meetings for and on behalf of Health Plan often are representing the interests of common interest groups as well as the interests of the members of Health Plan. (IV) Other employees and officers perform services by delivering speeches at various public and private functions and in serving as faculty in healthcare related educational programs throughout the community.

Form 990, Part VI, Questions 12c Compliance Enforcement A. Regularly and Consistently Monitors Compliance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy - Kaiser Permanente regularly monitors compliance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy in 3 key ways: 1. The Kaiser Permanente Compliance Hotline is available to all employees and vendors to report actual or potential conflicts of interest. All calls are answered by a third party and provided to Kaiser Permanente's National Compliance office for review and appropriate action. Employees can report anonymously. Retaliation is prohibited. Reports of actual or potential Conflicts of Interest are generated and investigations are conducted as required and information is tracked and trended to determine if additional guidance is required to avoid or manage conflicts of interest. Compliance Hotline Reports are provided for review and action to the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals Boards of Directors annually. 2. The National Compliance Office and Internal Audit Services annually review the directors', officers', key employees', and executives' Annual Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire disclosures and provide direction on any investigations required. Investigations are documented, tracked and trended to determine if additional controls or education is required. In addition, Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire Reports are provided for review and action to the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals Boards of Directors annually; and 3. Annually, as a component of the external audit, KPMG reviews the Annual Conflicts of Interest Questionnaires completed by Directors, Officers, Key Employees, and Executives, and actions taken as a result of the disclosures. The results of the annual audit, including any findings in this area are presented to the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals Audit and Compliance Committee. B. Regularly and Consistently Enforces Compliance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy - To ensure consistency in the enforcement of the policy Kaiser Permanente uses the following steps as a general guideline: 1. Represented employees are subject to any corrective/disciplinary action provisions described in specific regional/national collective bargaining agreements and/or organizational policies and practices. 2. Kaiser Permanente notifies employees of the National Human Resources Policy No. 14. Corrective/Disciplinary Action Policy during new employee orientation and in annual compliance training. 3. In the event that it is necessary to discipline any employee because of, but not limited to, failure to comply with applicable legal/regulatory requirements, Kaiser Permanente policies and procedures, or the Principles of Responsibility, or for unsatisfactory performance or misconduct, coaching/counseling and/or corrective/disciplinary action may include, but is not limited to: - Oral discussion and/or warning by the employee's immediate supervisor or higher level manager to correct the problem; - Written notice, with or without final warning; - Paid or unpaid suspension, with or without final warning; - Termination of employment.
Form 990, Part VI, Question 15a/b Compensation Determination The executive compensation program is designed to recruit, retain and motivate qualified senior management personnel. Senior management personnel have a significant impact on the strategic and policy direction and results of the organization. Therefore, the executive compensation program is, to a significant degree, performance-based. The compensation program is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which evaluates and approves, prior to payment, all programs and payments to CEO, Executive Director and top management officials (executives). Base pay for executive positions is established at a level comparable to the relevant market. In addition, other components of the compensation program bear 'at-risk' features designed to focus on strategically important performance goals and to assist in attracting and retaining top performers. The executive compensation program is targeted at the median of the comparable external market in which the organization competes for executive leadership. Evaluation of comparable pay data is performed by an Independent Compensation, Benefit & Human Resource Consulting firm. The compensation program focuses on objectives in the areas of quality of member care and service, financial soundness, and the community and social mission of the organization.
