Identifier Return Reference Explanation
ASPN Inclusion in the Consolidated Audit of WPAHS Form 990, Schedule D, Part X Question 2, Part XII and XIII Allegheny Specialty Practice Network (ASPN) does not issue independent audited financial statements. ASPN is a member of a regional healthcare system named West Penn Allegheny Health System. The West Penn Allegheny Health System receives a consolidated audit which includes the operations of ASPN. The following analysis represents the reconciliation between the financial statement net loss and the net loss as reported on Form 990, Page 1, Line 19: Net Loss Per Financial Statements $(111,793,402) Plus: Unrealized Loss on Limited Liability Company Investment Reclassified Through Net Assets 187,658 _____________ Net Loss Per IRS Form 990 $(111,605,744) The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of the West Penn Allegheny Health System for FASB ASC 740: WPAHS adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. Under FASB ASC 740, tax positions will be evaluated for recognition, derecognition, and measurement using consistent criteria and will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. Based on an analysis prepared by WPAHS, it was determined that the application of FASB ASC 740 had no material effect on the recorded assets and liabilities of WPAHS.

Monitoring and Enforcement of the Conflict of Interest Policy Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Question 12c Allegheny Specialty Practice Network is a member of the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). WPAHS has a corporate compliance department that monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy of all organizations in the health system. The following describes the manner in which the corporate compliance department monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy for Allegheny Specialty Practice Network as well as the other WPAHS affiliates: Conflict of Interest disclosure forms are completed on an annual basis by all board members, officers, employees who have a title of Manager and above, physicians in leadership roles, Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee members, all employees of the System's Compliance and Internal Audit Department as well as personnel involved with contracting in the Corporate Purchasing Department. Upon completion of the above disclosure statement by all applicable individuals, a report is generated listing all individuals that have reported a conflict. The System Compliance Officer and General Counsel review the conflicts disclosed. Those that require additional information or clarification receive a letter from the Compliance Officer requesting such. Once received, all additional information is added to the report and again reviewed by the Compliance Officer and General Counsel. Those conflicts that require a mitigation plan are sent to the respective organization's senior management for development of the mitigation plan. The organization's senior management is responsible to discuss the mitigation plan with the individual as needed and monitor compliance with the mitigation plan. Once mitigation is received, a final report is reviewed with the System Executive Compliance Council and finally the Audit & Compliance Committee of the Board.
Process Used To Determine Executive Compensation Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b The West Penn Allegheny Health Systems (WPAHS) process for determining compensation for executive positions (including officers, key employees and other management positions) within Allegheny Specialty Practice Network is covered by the WPAHS Executive Compensation Policy. This policy was approved by the West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. Board of Directors. It is the policy of WPAHS and its Board of Directors to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with WPAHS. The Compensation Committee of the West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. Board of Directors approves the compensation for WPAHS senior executives. The Compensation Committee approves the initial compensation for newly hired senior executives, which shall include all compensation components, including without limitation, base compensation, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, fringe and other benefits, as well as the total compensation. It shall also approve all base compensation adjustments and all incentive compensation awards, as well as material changes to deferred compensation, fringe, or other benefits. The Compensation Committee uses comparability data provided by the System Human Resources Department, which may include industry surveys, expert compensation studies, documented compensation of persons holding similar positions, or other comparable data in approving any executive compensation. The Compensation Committee shall periodically retain the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide an expert opinion report as to the reasonableness of total compensation of Allegheny Specialty Practice Network officers and key employees. Each Compensation Committee member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. The Compensation Committee consists of five independent Board Members of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. All decisions of the Compensation Committee regarding executive compensation matters are documented.

Officer, Director and Key Employee Hour Allocation Form 990, Page 7, Part VII, Section A, Column B Allegheny Specialty Practice Network (ASPN) is part of an integrated healthcare delivery system named West Penn Allegheny Health System. Individuals employed by one organization may be assigned to provide management for an affiliated organization. As such, many individuals play key roles or serve as officers or directors on multiple affiliated organizations. Each individual will be assigned forty hours to the organization of their actual employment. If the individual is employed by one organization and appointed as an officer, director or key employee of affiliated organizations the hour allocation on Form 990, Part VII, Page 7, Column (B) takes various factors into account when attempting to assign hours in a reasonable manner. Thus, it is possible for a single individual to have hours assigned in excess of forty hours per week if all affiliated organization IRS Forms 990 is taken into account. The actual time served for all individuals disclosed in IRS Form 990 can vary based upon the need of the organization.
