| Sch A Supplemental Information | Part IV Section A Line 1: Our supported organizations are not normally listed by name in the governing documents. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Iowa, Inc. is a Tier II parent organization, and due to long-standing historical relationships as well as relationships that are officially delineated in our organizational chart, supports all organizations at the Tier III level that are not themselves supporting organizations. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Iowa, Inc. provides this support by way of corporate oversight and related administrative and program services such as Payroll, Human Resources, Legal Services, and many others, which result in monetary equity transfers and intercompany journal entries that provide "support". Part IV Section A Line 6: Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Iowa, Inc. is a Tier II parent organization that is part of a controlled group of healthcare provider organizations. As such, it is common to have intercompany journal entries that result in support being provided to other supporting organizations within the group that may provide additional support to one or more of the same supported organization. Part IV Section D Line 1: By the last day of the 5th month (Nov 30th) following the close of the tax year (June 30th) a formal letter is drafted by the Tax Compliance Department, which provides the details of all support provided to each supported organization by each supporting organization for the most recently completed fiscal year. This letter is provided to all system Senior Vice Presidents as the means in meeting these notification requirements. Final support amounts are calculated as part of 990 preparation, and full copies of all 990's are provided via a board portal to all supported organizations. Any changes to bylaws, articles, or other governing documents are also provided with the filing of the 990, if required, and all information is available earlier upon request. Part IV Section D Line 3: All supported organizations and their respective boards, investment committees, and investment managers, have sole discretion on all investment policies and decisions as they relate to the group of controlled healthcare organizations under the parent organization, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Iowa, Inc. Part IV Section E Lines 3a-3b: Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Iowa, Inc. and its supported organizations have several members of its governing bodies that serve on common boards. These members hold reserved powers that include, but are not limited to, the election of members of the governing body and election of officers, approval of certain financial expenditures in accordance with policies, and approval of budgets and strategic plans. These approvals are based on recommendations from the governing body. |

|---|---|
| Schedule O Disclosures | IRS Form 990 Part IV Lines 12a-12b and Part XII Lines 2a-2c: Effective May 1, 2016, Iowa entities transferred their ownership interest from Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. to Mercy Health Network, Inc. For the year ending June 30,2016 the system parent organization did not conduct its regular consolidated audit, therefore the Iowa region conducted their own audit, which included just the Iowa entities (and not Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare or Mercy entities). We have therefore answered NO, YES accordingly. Part V Line 1a and Part VII Section B Line 1-2 Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare streamlined their reporting of IRS Forms 1099-MISC so that most 1099-MISC are now reported using the FEIN number of the parent organization or of a related organization. The actual expense continues to be either paid by, or transferred to, the individual entity, which is normally a subsidiary or related organization to the organization(s) issuing the 1099. For this reason, the reader may notice on some 990's that there are top 5 independent contractors reported, but no 1099s are reported. Likewise on the 990's of the organization(s) reporting number of 1099's, there may be a disproportionate share of 1099's reported as compared with the actual expenses of the organization. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section A Line 2 Greg Schmitz and Mike Mallaro have a business relationship through The VGM Group. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section A Line 4 The organizations Articles and Bylaws were amended effective May 1, 2016 to reflect 1) the addition of a new corporate member, Mercy Health Network, Inc., and 2) the withdrawal of both Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. and Schoitz Health Resources, Inc. as members. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section A Lines 6-7b Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Iowa, Inc. had two members, a Corporate Member and a Managing Member; both of which hold several reserved powers over Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Iowa, Inc. These reserved powers include, but are not limited to, the election of members of the governing body and election of officers, approval of certain financial expenditures in accordance with policy, and approval of budgets and strategic plans; these approvals are based on recommendations from the governing body. Effective, May 1, 2016 Mercy Health Network, Inc. became the sole corporate member. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 11 Ministries that were affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 used a multiple-level review process on all IRS Forms 990 to ensure accurate and timely filing for all organizations. Under the direction of the Tax Manager, the Accounting Departments in each region prepare Forms 990, 990-T, and associated state filings. When complete, the return is first reviewed by a Senior-Level (or higher) associate in the Finance Department, who focuses on income statement and balance sheet items, and schedules where transactions of this type might be reported. If discrepancies are found, the item will be corrected prior to the next step in the review process. Once cleared through Finance, the return is provided to the Tax Department, where the Tax Manager concentrates primarily on consistency of reporting between all returns, accuracy of tax related information, and narrative explanation of any outliers. Again, any problems or questions are investigated and corrected. Depending on the level of complexity of the year in question, as well as the individual issues specific to that filing, certain returns may be selected for outside review by a public accounting firm. This decision will vary from year to year based on many factors, and sometimes outside review is not utilized at all. Also, certain schedules, such as Schedule H or Schedule J may be reviewed by committees, such as the Community Benefit Team or the Compensation Committee in selected years. The board has also asked for formal presentations on various 990 topics over the years. This decision will vary from year to year, again based on many factors. Once all levels of review have been completed, the Tax Manager (or the designated employee in the applicable region) will schedule an appointment with the signer of the 990. This is normally a Senior Vice President or CFO of the applicable region, who will perform an additional, normally high level review prior to signing the return. Once signed, the return is cleared to provide to members of the Board of Directors, who at a later date but prior to efiling, are provided access to all 990s throughout their assigned region via an online portal. Additionally, as a courtesy, any individual who is listed on any 990 as a reportable individual will also receive access to the portal, where they can view the 990 if they so choose, prior to it being filed with the IRS. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 12 The organization has a Conflict of Interest policy which states that if at any time, an officer or a director become aware that the board may discuss or act upon any transaction or arrangement which may have any bearing of any kind upon, or may relate in any manner to, a financial interest of the individual, the financial interest must be disclosed. All associates of the organization must disclose a potential conflict of interest any time one arises. The disclosures are reviewed and a determination is made as to whether a conflict of interest exists and how it might be managed. Additionally, as part of an annual process, conflict of interest questionnaires are sent out to all Officers, Directors, and other individuals in key positions using software designed to capture this information. The responses are analyzed in order to determine information on potential conflicts, as well as information on business and family relationships and other disclosures required to be made on IRS Forms 990. Responses to these questions are reviewed by the Vice President of Compliance and the Manager of Tax Compliance, and follow up action, if any, is documented within the software. Non-responders are reminded of their outstanding disclosure requirement automatically through the software system. Responses to questions continue to be reviewed and documented throughout this time period. Approximately 1 month prior to the filing deadline of IRS Form 990, responses to date are compiled. Any response requiring disclosure is entered into the information return. The remaining non responder names are determined, and a letter, along with the actual Conflict of Interest Policy, is sent to the Chairperson of each board. The letter lists current non responders, as well as any Officer or Board member that has disclosed a financial interest that might pose a potential conflict of interest. Depending upon the nature of the financial interest and work done by the board, several actions may be considered first, the board member with a financial interest would need to voluntarily excuse him or herself from the deliberations and/or voting on such a matter. If not, the board may, if necessary, determine that the subjects financial interest was an actual conflict of interest, in which case the board member would be informed by the board Chairperson that he or she would not be allowed to vote in any such matters due to this real or perceived conflict of interest. Minutes of the board meeting would document this decision process, and reflect whatever action(s) are ultimately taken. The board chairperson is also required to discuss with non responders the repercussions of not responding, and require the board member to complete the annual conflict of interest disclosure questions before being allowed to continue in any board matters. If the board member refuses, the Chairperson has the authority to determine the appropriate action, including, but not limited to prohibiting them from participating in deliberations, preventing them from voting, and/or removing them as a board member. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 16a-16b Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Iowa, Inc. participated in one or more joint ventures in furtherance of its exempt activities. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare has several policies that govern entering into joint venture relationships and all governing documents of such joint ventures do include one or more safeguards to protect the tax-exempt status of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Iowa, Inc. |
| Schedule O Disclosures Continued | IRS Form 990 Part VI Section C Line 19 Ministries that were affliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 provided upon request certain documents including our financial statements, conflict of interest policy, and governing documents that support our tax exempt status, including, but not limited to, articles of incorporation and bylaws. During fiscal 2016, all ministries were transferred to new parent organizations and all organizations are currently working on policy review and implementation in order to adopt and streamline existing policies to those of the new parent. IRS Form 990 Part VII Column B Ministries that were affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 operated as a controlled group of related healthcare organizations. As such, many employees who are at the Director level or above, or who are Officers and/or Directors of organizations where Wheaton has common boards and other overlaps in committee representations, spend significant time devoted to tasks not only for the filing organization, but also for related organizations. While there is no official time study tracking that is done, it is estimated that for each employee, tasks devoted to related organizations could approximate up to 80% or more of total hours. IRS Form 990 Part IX Line 11g The majority of these other fees for services include collection expenses and physician recruitment fees. IRS Form 990 Part XI Line 9 Certain related organizations utilize receivable/payable accounts throughout the year. These intercompany balances are settled through the equity account at the end of each fiscal year to bring the receivable/payable balances to zero. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 this resulted in an increase in net assets or fund balances of $111,462. Additionally, as a result of the transfer of ownership interest from Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. to Mercy Health Network, Inc. effective May 1, 2016 a revaluation of fixed assets was completed to adjust the carrying amount of fixed assets to market value. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 this resulted in an increase in net assets or fund balances of $134,623.
