(HFHP) IS AN ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED UNDER CODE SECTION 501(C)(4). HFHP IS A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND OPERATES TO PROMOTE SOCIAL WELFARE AS ITS ENROLLEES ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY INDIGENT, AGED, DISABLED AND/OR MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED. IT OPERATES A MANAGED HEALTH CARE PLAN AND RECEIVES MORE THAN 95% OF ITS GROSS REVENUES FROM GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS. SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, 3C Healthfirst Health Plan, Inc. (HFHP) is an organization described in Code Section 501(c)(4). It operates a managed health care plan. It receives more than 95% of its gross revenues from governmental payors. Activities described in Code Section 170(c)(2)(B) are those that are exclusively "religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational ... or [those that] foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals." Despite its classification under Code Section 501(c)(4), the activities of HFHP are within the scope of Code Section 170(c)(2)(B) because the enrollees of HFHP are almost exclusively indigent, aged, disabled and/or medically underserved. SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION B, 2 A Type I supporting organization such as the taxpayer must be operated by, supervised by, or controlled by, one or more publicly supported organizations. As set forth in the relevant Treasury Regulations, this relationship is established by the fact that a majority of the officers, directors, or trustees of the taxpayer are appointed or elected by the governing body, members of the governing body, officers acting in their official capacity, or the membership of one or more publicly supported organizations. This is in the case for the taxpayer, whose governing body is composed almost exclusively of senior management of publicly-supported hospitals in the New York City metropolitan area and an Independent director. The Type I supporting organization regulations specifically provide, however, that a Type I supporting organization such as the taxpayer may be operated, supervised, or controlled by one or more publicly supported organizations even though its governing body is not comprised of representatives of the specified publicly supported organizations for whose benefit it is operated. This is the case for the taxpayer. Healthfirst PHSP and Healthfirst Health Plan, Inc. are the organizations supported and benefited by the taxpayer. The regulations further provide that a Type I supporting organization such as the taxpayer may be operated, supervised, or controlled by one or more publicly supported organizations (i.e., the hospitals in the case of the taxpayer) and be operated for the benefit of one or more different publicly supported organizations (i.e., Healthfirst PHSP and Healthfirst Health Plan, Inc.) This being only if it can be demonstrated that the purposes of the former organizations are carried out by benefitting the latter organizations; the hospitals that control the governing body of the taxpayer. Although the hospitals are related solely based on the 990 definition of related organization, the supported hospitals are not related to Healthfirst PHSP or Healthfirst Health Plan, Inc. nor are the hospitals related to the taxpayer or other supported organizations. In addition, Healthfirst, Inc (HFI) is not required to, nor does it, provide any monetary support or services to the hospitals.
