Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3 IN REFERENCE TO FORM 990, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J PART II, NO COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE FILING ENTITY TO ANY DIRECTOR (TRUSTEE) FOR HIS OR HER ROLE AS DIRECTOR (TRUSTEE). THE OFFICERS OF THE FILING ENTITY ARE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR ROLES AS OFFICERS. A PORTION OF THE COMPENSATION AMOUNT PAID TO OFFICERS OF THE FILING ENTITY IS ALLOCATED INTERNALLY AMONG THE FILING ENTITY AND ITS 26 ASSOCIATED NON-PROFIT, TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES IN ORDER TO PROPERLY REFLECT THE DIVISION OF THE OFFICERS' TIME AND EFFORT AMONG THOSE VARIOUS ENTITIES AND EACH ENTITY'S RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE OFFICERS' TOTAL COMPENSATION (SEE BELOW). COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, DAVID PHELPS, IS REVIEWED AND ESTABLISHED AT LEAST BIANNUALLY BY THE INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER GOVERNING BODY OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. (PARENT ORGANIZATION OF THE FILING ENTITY), BASED ON PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND COMPARISON TO INDEPENDENTLY ESTABLISHED, REGIONALLY APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS FOR SIMILAR POSITIONS IN SIMILARLY SIZED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, AS VERIFIED BY INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS. COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS SET IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNING-BODY ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES BASED ON COMPARABLE BENCHMARK IDENTIFIED BY SUCH INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS. IN THE REPORTING YEAR, THE GOVERNING BODY TARGETED TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES AT THE 60TH PERCENTILE OF APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS (OTHER THAN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WHOSE TOTAL COMPENSATION REMAINS TARGETED AT THE 50TH PERCENTILE). FOR MOST OF MR. PHELPS' 20+-YEAR TENURE AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND MR. PHELPS HAS CALLED FOR BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS (AND ITS AFFILIATES) TO FUND A RETIREMENT PROGRAM THAT, WHEN ADDED TO HIS BASE COMPENSATION AND OTHER ROUTINE BENEFITS, WAS INTENDED TO BRING MR. PHELPS' TOTAL COMPENSATION CLOSE TO THE 50TH PERCENTILE RANGE OF TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR COMPARABLE EXECUTIVES IN COMPARABLE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, AS DETERMINED BY INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION REVIEWERS. MR. PHELPS' TOTAL COMPENSATION INCLUDES THE COST OF A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY AS WELL AS CERTAIN OTHER TAXABLE BENEFITS THAT ARE GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO EMPLOYEES OF THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. MR. PHELPS' BASE COMPENSATION AND LIFE INSURANCE (AND OTHER TAXABLE BENEFITS) ARE REPORTED SEPARATELY ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMNS (B) (I) AND B (II) RESPECTIVELY AND FORM 990, PART VII COLUMN (E).

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 9 IN FISCAL YEARS 2012, 2013 AND 2014, BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER AND ALMOST ALL OTHER MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS EXPERIENCED AN UNUSUAL AND LIKELY TEMPORARY INCREASE IN REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MEDICARE PROGRAM DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE MEDICARE PROGRAM APPLIED ONE ELEMENT OF ITS REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATION. FOR MANY YEARS, THE APPLICATION OF THIS SAME ELEMENT OF THE REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATION WORKED TO THE DETRIMENT OF MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS, INCLUDING BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE HOSPITAL IS NOT EXPECTING THAT THIS TEMPORARY, POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT WILL CONTINUE. THE VALUE OF THE RURAL FLOOR PROVISION TO BMC IN FY 2014 WAS $12.6 MILLION.

SENIOR EMPLOYEES ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY ARE TO ABSTAIN FROM ACTION THAT MAY BE INFLUENCED BY THEIR CONFLICT OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT BY (A) NOT VOTING OR (B) NOT VOTING AND LEAVING THE ROOM OR (C) LEAVING THE GOVERNING BODY AS DETERMINED BY THE GOVERNING BODY.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS REVIEWED AND ESTABLISHED AT LEAST BIANNUALLY BY THE INDEPENDENT, VOLUNTEER, BHS GOVERNING BODY, BASED ON PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND COMPARISON TO INDEPENDENTLY ESTABLISHED, REGIONALLY APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS FOR SIMILAR POSITIONS IN SIMILARLY SIZED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, AS VERIFIED BY INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS. COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS SET IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNING BODY-ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES BASED ON COMPARABLE BENCHMARK IDENTIFIED BY SUCH INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS. IN THE REPORTING YEAR, THE GOVERNING BODY TARGETED TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES AT THE 60TH PERCENTILE OF APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWED THIS PROCESS FOR YEAR ENDED 9/30/14.
