| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1 | Part VI, Section A, Line 1b: The Articles of Incorporation provide that no action of the Board may be resolved unless a majority of independent Directors present approve the matter. Thus, even in situations where there is not an absolute majority of independent Directors in Office, those independent Directors in Office control Ochsner Health System's activities. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | Dr. Quinlan and Mr. Suquet have a business relationship. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | The Board of Directors made changes to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the organization in 2014. The change to the Bylaws eliminated the requirement that the board meet a minimum of six times per year. The change to the Articles eliminated the requirement that the board meet a minimum of six times per year, removed the requirement that the CEO be a physician holding the degree of doctor of medicine, and appointed the new CEO, Warner Thomas. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | Ochsner Clinic Foundation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ochsner Health System, a related 501(c)(3) organization. Ochsner Health System is the sole member of Ochsner Clinic Foundation. Ochsner Clinic Foundation has no capital stock and only one class of membership. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | The Community Directors shall be nominated exclusively by the nominating committee of the board of directors of the Member. The nominating committee shall also nominate two of the eight Senior Physician directors of the Board. The Senior Physician class has the right to nominate and elect six of the eight physician directors of the Board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | The following actions require the majority approval of total members of the Senior Physician class, regardless of the number of Senior Physician class members actually voting: 1) amendments to the Articles which affect the rights of Sr. Physicians; 2) any change in the total numbers of Directors, Community Directors, or Sr. Physician Directors; 3) the status of the CEO as a member of the Board; and 4) changes to the supermajority requirements, which call for approval by two-third of the entire Board for certain actions to be considered approved. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | One or more members of senior management review the return. The return is also reviewed by Ernst & Young LLP, the company's tax advisors. The Audit and Oversight Committee, which is comprised of independent directors, is then provided the return prior to the filing date and given the opportunity to review and discuss the return with management/staff. The meeting to review the 2014 return was held on October 26, 2015. A copy of the return is then provided to each member of the Board of Directors electronically and comments are solicited from the entire Board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Officers, directors, trustees, and key employees of Ochsner Health System and its subsidiaries are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure form annually, or within 40 days of becoming an employee, or if a current employee has a change in business circumstances not previously disclosed. The Conflict of Interest Program Administrator reviews disclosures and determines whether action is necessary or if the disclosure needs to be reviewed by the Conflict of Interest Steering Committee. Ochsner Health System requires annual certification that the relationships disclosed during a preceding calendar year are complete and accurate. In addition, employees that do not fall within the scope of the Conflict of Interest Disclosure policy annually complete Conflict of Interest training in compliance with the Conflict of Interest policy. The Conflict of Interest Steering Committee will make mitigation recommendations, including, but not limited to, divestiture and termination of employment. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | All CEO and officer compensation and benefits arrangements, including salary and bonus incentive plans, are reviewed and approved by the Executive and Senior Physician Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) of Ochsner Health System and Ochsner Clinic Foundation. No substantive change to the compensation or benefits packages is made until Committee approval is granted in accordance with Intermediate Sanctions guidelines. The Compensation Committee is without conflicts of interest and uses an independent external consultant. Appropriate data is applied to determine the comparability of fair market value pay and all actions are appropriately documented. In order to meet the requirements of the IRS Intermediate Sanctions regulations, the Compensation Committee identified the "disqualified individuals" that are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the company's operations. These individuals are the members of the Executive Officers Committee (EOC), Regional Medical Directors, physician board members and Section Heads for key departments. For disqualified individuals, the compensation review also includes the cost of benefits such as the company portion of medical and dental benefits, malpractice insurance, payments for 401K matching and pension payments. A different review process is used for Physicians. Annually, the Corporate Integrity department reviews the salary of each employed physician. This review includes a comparison of physician salaries against national survey data for their specialty. Three surveys are used for the review. The Physician Compensation department provides salary data for each physician including base salary, stipends, on-call pay, etc. If it is determined that a physician's compensation is higher than the survey data, the total work Relative Value Units (RVUs) are compared to the survey data. This review is performed to ensure their pay is comparable to the work performed. Comparable benefit national survey data is also obtained periodically. Compensation for other non-physician key employees is reviewed by senior executives who take market value research into consideration when determining compensation levels. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | Financial statements for Ochsner Clinic Foundation are made available to the public quarterly via www.dacbond.com. All governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon written request to the Corporate Integrity Department. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 16b | When the organization evaluates its participation in a joint venture, the transactions are handled carefully to ensure that the organization's tax-exempt status is intact with regard to the arrangement. The operations of the joint venture are carefully reviewed by management and legal counsel, and the transaction is not entered into unless it is a reflection of the organization's tax-exempt purpose. A clause is inserted into the joint venture agreement that the operations of the joint venture must be performed in a manner that will not jeopardize the organization's tax-exempt status. |
