| Sch A Supplemental Information | Part IV Section A Line 1: Our supported organizations are not normally listed by name in the governing documents. MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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. MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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: MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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 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, MercyOne Northeast Iowa Part IV Section E Lines 3a-3b: MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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 V Line 1a and Part VII Section B Line 1-2 MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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 Lines 6-7b MercyOne Northeast Iowa had two members, a Corporate Member and a Managing Member; both of which hold several reserved powers over MercyOne Northeast Iowa 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. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 11A and 11B Affiliates of MercyOne Northeast Iowa during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 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 Chief Financial Officer, the Accounting Department prepares Forms 990 and any applicable 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 of the MercyOne Northeast Iowa sponsor organization, where the Tax Director 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, a designated finance and accounting employee will schedule an appointment with the signer of the 990. The signer, the Vice President-Finance, 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 990's throughout their assigned region. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 12A - 12C MercyOne Northeast Iowa. has adopted a Conflict of Interest policy which applies to all "interested persons" of MercyOne Northeast Iowa. including directors, principal officers, key employees, and members of committees with board-delegated powers. Interested persons are expected to discharge their duties in a manner the person reasonably believes to be in the best interests of MercyOne Northeast Iowa. and to avoid situations involving a conflict of interest. On an annual basis, interested persons are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement and to affirm their receipt of the conflict of interest policy, compliance with its requirements, and agree to notify the organization of changes impacting their annual disclosure in accordance with the policy. The annual disclosures are provided to internal legal counsel and the integrity and compliance officer, from which legal counsel prepares a report for the board chair and CEO. A summary of potential conflicts is reviewed with the board of directors of MercyOne Northeast Iowa (or a delegated committee of the board) on a yearly basis. Interested persons are required to make full disclosure to MercyOne Northeast Iowa of any financial or business interests that might result in or have the appearance of a conflict of interest. The board of directors of MercyOne Northeast Iowa (or a delegated committee of the board) is responsible for the review of transactions to determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists. In the event of an actual conflict, the board (or a delegated committee of the board) will either avoid the conflict or appropriately scrutinize the transaction to ensure it is in the best interests of MercyOne Northeast Iowa. Interested persons are required to recuse themselves from discussion and voting on matters involving a conflict of interest. The policy further addresses the proper documentation of the proceedings and potential disciplinary and corrective action for violations of the policy. The policy is available to the public upon request. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 15a Question 15a is answered "No" because the compensation for the CEO of MercyOne Northeast Iowa. is established and paid by a related entity, Covenant Medical Center, Inc. In establishing CEO compensation, Covenant Medical Center, Inc. follows a process which includes the following: Use of an independent compensation consultant and compensation study, use of a written employment contract, and review and approval by the Mercy Health Network board of directors. This process is performed annually. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 15b Question 15b is answered "No" because the compensation for the other officers and key employees of MercyOne Northeast Iowa is established and paid by a related entity, Covenant Medical Center, Inc. In establishing other officer and key employee compensation, Covenant Medical Center, Inc. follows a process which includes the following: Use of an independent compensation consultant and compensation study, use of a written employment contract, and review and approval by the Covenant Medical Center, Inc. and MercyOne Northeast Iowa CEO, authorized to act on behalf of the board with respect to certain compensation matters. This process is performed annually. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 16A-16B MercyOne Northeast Iowa participated in one or more joint ventures in furtherance of its exempt activities. MHN 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 MercyOne Northeast Iowa. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section C Line 19 Affliates of MercyOne Northeast Iowa, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, made available, 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. IRS Form 990 Part VII Column B Affiliates of MercyOne Northeast Iowa, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, 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, 2020 this resulted in an increase in net assets or fund balances of $6,503,322. |
