Part V, Line 11A list of potential significant health needs was compiled and sent to a broad group of stakeholders who were asked to select priorities according to the following criteria: 1) the severity and urgency of the health needs of the communities served by Group Health Hospital; 2) areas where Group Health has the most leverage to make the biggest impact; 3) stakeholders' perception of the importance the community places on addressing the need; and 4) connection to Group Health's mission, core values, and strategies. The following Implementation Strategies were selected as having the highest priority: Improvements in access to care for underserved populations Important community support was provided to WithinReach, YouthCare, Country Doctor, the Auburn Public Health Center, Project Access NW, Senior Services, HealthPoint and Neighborcare Health to partner with their work to improve access to care for the underserved Promotion of physical activity, improved fitness, and healthy eating a variety of events and programs were sponsored with large crowds participating in bike rides such as the Tour de Whidbey, the Northwest Tulip Pedal and the Cascade Bicycle Club Seattle-to-Portland ride, sports camps held by Seattle Storm Women's Basketball, the Seattle Sounders, and marathons including the Poulsbo Marathon, Bloomsday and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Bike helmets were provided to kids participating in the YMCA Health Kids Day and a program to provide water-filling stations at 9 Seattle-area elementary schools was funded. Cardiovascular diabetes disease prevention Partnerships with the American Heart Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation helps to keep this important disease research moving forward. As a result of the feedback received, the following health needs will not be addressed: 1) injury prevention (not the most effective or efficient area of focus for Group Health); 2) tobacco cessation (other organizations are in a better position and are better focused in this area); 3) mental health and substance abuse (although Group Health has a behavioral health unit, this was not considered expertise that it could leverage effectively); and 4) oral health (Group Health does not provide oral health care).
Part V, Line 16Group Health Cooperative's FAP is widely available at www1.ghc.org/html/public/customer-service/financial-assistance.
Part V, Line 22dGroup Health billing is based on usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) charges for the geographic area, with consideration of actual average costs of care provided by group health to all patients. Maximum charges for FAP-eligible individuals are no more than the amounts generally billed to insured patients for emergency or medically necessary care. Further, charges to eligible individuals for any other care are less than the gross charges for that care.

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDINGIn 2014, Group Health made significant contributions to the community, both financial and through staff volunteer efforts. Group Health played a key role in the Seattle/King County Clinic which provided free dental, vision, and medical services to more than 3,400 patients. In addition to the 70 staff volunteers, Group Health provided over $75,000 in lab services value for the 4-day clinic, along with 1,500 flu shots and medical supplies. With the support of the Center for Community Health and Evaluation (CCHE), an anonymous survey was provided to collect feedback on and fully understand the patient experience. Data from the survey and subsequent evaluation will be provided to organizers to help plan for future clinics. Throughout the year, Group Health provides free lab services to the Olympia Free Clinic. Care providers from the Clinic are able to refer patients to the nearby Group Health Medical Center in Olympia for lab draws and the results are returned to the clinic. Group Health continues to provide financial support to further the important work of public organizations in our service area including the Puget Sound Blood Center, King County Public Health, Country Doctor, the Northwest Center, Healthpoint, YouthCare, Project Access NW, Neighborcare Health, and food cooperatives and distribution centers. Group Health supported economic and workforce development efforts throughout our area by providing sponsorships to the Yes to Seattle Transit campaign, as well as conferences hosted by the Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County, the Economic Opportunity Institute and the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle. Support for the Alliance for Education, the Greater Seattle Business Association, the Bellevue College Foundation and the College Success Foundation help foster opportunities for education. In the area of community health improvement advocacy, Group Health supported the Human Rights Campaign which helps pass legislation that promotes equality in the workplace. Group Health provides community support through our sponsorships of many organizations which host activities and events that support healthy living, specifically physical activity, healthy eating, and chronic disease management. Group Health supports a wide range of community members such as Cascade Bicycle Clubs Seattle-to-Portland bicycle classic, the Major Taylor youth development cycling program, the American Heart Association diabetic cooking classes, the Seattle Storms summer basketball camps, Bloomsday run training clinics, the King County Parks Division Big Backyard and YMCAs healthy kids day. Group Health, in partnership with several state and federal agencies, continues to promote environmental improvements through an innovative patient medication disposal program which allows patients with discontinued or expired medications to dispose of them in a safe and environmentally sound manner. This system involves secure, convenient drop boxes located in 25 Group Health pharmacies across the state to allow members and patients to recycle in a way that keeps them out of landfills and water systems. In addition to environmental benefits, this program also helps prevent risks to the safety of participants such as abuse and accidental poisoning. In 2014, Group Health disposed of over 12,000 pounds of unused medications.

PART VI, LINE 7, STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTTHIS QUESTION IS NOT APPLICABLE.
PART VI, LINE 2, NEEDS ASSESSMENTGroup Health leaders with the support of the organization continue to serve on a number of coalitions, collaboratives and boards to assess and improve the health of the communities we serve. These include the Washington Vaccine Association, the Washington State Leadership Transformation Committee, the Puget Sound Health Alliance, King County Hospitals for Healthier Communities, the BREE collaborative, the Community Transformation Grants Steering Committees and their teams, YouthCare, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, Alliance for Education, Washington Accountable Communities of Health (ACH's) and the Washington Children's Alliance to name a few. Group Health participates in these policy, advocacy and transformation efforts to ensure greater access to address the needs of the community and state populations and to ensure equity and access for our low income populations. Some of these groups bring together delivery systems, state and city government and hospitals and insurers to address entrenched issues that cannot be tackled by any one entity alone.
PART VI, LINE 3, PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCEGroup Health has two financial assistance programs which are administered as the sponsored care program. The charity care program is for members or non-members of Group Health. Patients seeking hospital services at Group Health Central Hospital or another state-licensed hospital when services are delivered by a Group Health provider, who have incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) are eligible for charity care assistance. The health care assistance program is for enrollees seeking any medical care or service at a Group Health facility and who are at or below 250% FPL. Health care assistance is a short-term program providing assistance with inpatient and outpatient fees, copays, prescription costs, glasses and hearing aids. Group Health informs patients about sponsored care as follows: 1. Group Health displays posters at the main entrances of Group Health hospital, at the hospital's urgent care center and at its labor/delivery unit. Each poster informs patients that they may be eligible for free care in seven different languages. Desk cards at the reception and registration areas in the hospital repeat the message and include the financial guidelines. 2. Group Health hospital urgent care staff provide financial information and attestation forms to patients seeking charity care at the time of registration for services. 3. As part of their standard operating procedures, clinical, customer service and patient billing staff throughout Group Health are able to provide information about and assistance with patient qualification for sponsored care programs at the time of service or via telephone. 4. Administrative and billing office staff at all 25 Group Health medical centers provide patients with sponsored care applications upon request at the time of service. 5. There is a standard notice on all Group Health bills for patient care which states that the patient may be eligible for financial assistance and provides contact information for assistance. 6. Information regarding Group Health financial assistance is available on the public website at https://www1.ghc.org/html/public/customer-service/financial-assistance.
PART VI, LINE 4, COMMUNITY INFORMATIONGroup Health's service areas include all, or parts of, 20 counties in Washington and 2 counties in Idaho. In the last decade, the minority population in Washington as a whole grew from 20.6% of the state population to 25.2%. Eleven counties have minority populations above the state average. For the counties in Group Health's service area, Franklin (51.2%), Yakima (45.0%), King (8.9%), Pierce (9.2%) and Walla Walla (19.7%) counties consistently have the highest percent of Hispanic populations. Franklin County and Yakima County have the largest shares of non-white populations. Current data indicates 49.5% of Washington's African American population resides in King County and 22.5% in Pierce County. With respect to the Asian and Pacific Islander population, 58.6% reside in King County, with 9.8% in Pierce County, and 13.1% in Snohomish County. Yakima County's ranking as home to the second largest concentration of the American Indian and Alaska Native population in 2000 was overtaken by Pierce County in 2008. Group Health serves all of these communities. Based on the 2010 United States Census, the ethnic and racial makeup of our members is as follows: Caucasian (80%), African American/Black (3%), Asian/Pacific Islander (8%), Hispanic (5%) Alaska Native/American Indian (1%) and other (3%). In 2014, Group Health Cooperative and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Group Health Options, Inc. and KPS Health Plans, provided health care coverage and services to approximately 597,000 individuals. Group Health was able to reach these individuals via individual and family, commercial group, Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan, Public Employee Benefit Board Plan (for Washington state employees), and Medicare Advantage plan enrollees in Washington and North Idaho. Group Health extends its health care services to the community, providing care to people in need regardless of their enrollment status or ability to pay. Special attention is devoted to underserved, at-risk populations. In 2014, specifically related to low-income individuals, Group Health provided care to approximately 24,000 Apple Health Plus (Washington state-managed Medicaid) patients in 6 counties around the state. This was accomplished through Group Health contracting to deliver health care services to patients enrolled in Molina Healthcare of Washington's plan. Group Health, in addition, provided care to Medicaid fee-for-service patients who were unable to access Group Health through the managed Medicaid program. Group Health served approximately 300 of these individuals. In addition, Group Health's Family Beginnings Unit (FBU) in Seattle provided labor and delivery and neonatal intensive care unit services to Medicaid patients, with Group Health physicians and nurse midwives delivering newborns. Contracts with several community health clinics and federally qualified health centers allowed community providers to deliver the patients of these community clinics at the FBU, with back-up and support provided by Group Health ob-gyn physicians. In 2014, over 1,100 patients were treated in our birthing facility, one of the few in Seattle that allowed certified nurse midwife birthing for all patients. Finally, the Group Health teen pregnancy and parenting clinic provides comprehensive services to women, infants and children and other health care services to both enrolled Group Health members and non-enrolled low-income teenagers and young adults. In 2014, the total number of patient visits was 529.
PART VI, LINE 5, PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTHGroup Health's primary exempt purpose is to provide comprehensive, prevention-oriented health care services. Beneficiaries of this purpose are Group Health enrollees and non-enrolled patients. Group Health also provides health improvement-related education and information, financial and other support to community-based organizations, with a focus on prevention and wellness, and conducts research activities that benefit the broader community. To fulfill its purpose, Group Health provides outpatient primary and specialty care as well as some inpatient acute and sub-acute care through the services of salaried physicians, nurses, and other health care providers. The salaried physicians are employed by Group Health Permanente, P.C., an organization with whom Group Health has an exclusive contract. As of year-end 2014, Group Health operated one hospital, 25 primary care medical centers, six specialty care units and seven behavioral health clinics. Group Health also contracts with community health care providers for services where Group Health does not operate its own facilities and for medical services not provided at Group Health facilities. Group Health conducts practical, public domain research to improve health and health care throughout the community and nation through the Group Health Research Institute (GHRI) investing more than $45M in 2014. Since GHRI's inception in 1983, GHRI investigators have published more than 4,400 scientific papers and have made major contributions to effective care of chronic conditions such as diabetes, back pain, cardiovascular disease, and depression. GHRI researchers develop and study ways to help the population make informed medical decisions, quit smoking, and fight obesity. GHRI also supports research that improves the safety and efficacy of medications, immunizations, medical imaging, and cancer screening. While research generally takes a long time to reach and influence health care systems (i.e. clinical practice), GHRI places a high priority on quickly disseminating and translating its findings within Group Health and across our communities locally and nationally. GHRI is a globally recognized leader in preventive medicine, healthy aging, women's health, and cancer control, all using cutting-edge data analysis and health information technology. GHRI investigators are helping develop, evaluate and disseminate effective models of care. In addition, GHRI's Center for Community Health and Evaluation leads evaluations of health-related programs and initiatives nationally, contributing to improvements in health outcomes for the myriad of communities it serves. Through a partnership with King County, Group Health also supports 6 school-based health centers at middle and high schools in the Seattle Public School District. This includes hiring nurses and nurse practitioners and supporting their clinic and administrative needs. Through grants, we have also provided wrap around mental health care in 3 school-based health centers. The school-based centers served nearly 2,000 students during over 10,000 visits in 2014 and are a huge boost to the health and wellness of the student community. Group Health partners with Project Access, an organization which works with medical providers in health care communities across the country to provide medical care to individuals that meet county-specific medical and financial eligibility criteria. Group Health coordinates with Project Access to provide care to these patients at designated medical centers and specialty departments. Group Health shared expertise in the community by participating in or hosting several conferences including a presentation at Seattle's King Street Center Lunch & Learn to describe the benefit of outdoor exercise, "Disaster Aftermath in the Workplace: the Medical & Psychological Impact" held at Group Health Everett Medical Center and directed toward first responders, labor representatives, administrators, risk managers, and healthcare and safety professionals and educators, a colloquium on Occupational Health Best Practices hosted by Group Health in partnership with the Washington state Department of Labor and Industries, and "Creating Healthier Communities Together (Blue Zones)" a free community health program in Spokane.

THE FINAL DRAFT FORM 990 IS PRESENTED TO THE AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AND DISCUSSION. THE FINAL DRAFT FORM 990 IS ALSO PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR REVIEW AND INFORMATION BEFORE THE RETURN IS FILED.
ORGANIZATION'S MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICYFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C Group Health has a conflict of interest policy (Board policy 100-202, Conflict of Interest - Board of Trustees, Cooperative Officers, and Employees) that applies to trustees, officers, employees and Group Health Permanente (GHP) medical and administrative staff when they are performing work on behalf of Group Health or are representing Group Health in any transaction that involves Group Health. Under this policy: -Trustees and Cooperative officers provide a written declaration of any actual or potential areas of conflict of interest on an annual basis using forms and procedures developed by the Office of Compliance and Ethics. These declarations are submitted by trustees and officers to the Office of Compliance and Ethics for review. The Office of Compliance and Ethics evaluates the declarations and provides a summary of disclosures that is forwarded to the Audit and Compliance Committee for its consideration. Any apparent conflicts of interest and/or other instances of noncompliance with this policy are referred by the Audit and Compliance Committee to the chair of the Cooperative for resolution -During the year, trustees and Cooperative officers report material additions or changes to the information provided on annual conflict of interest declarations. These additions or changes to the declarations are submitted to the Office of Compliance and Ethics for review. If the review indicates that there is a conflict of interest or the appearance of one, a summary of the additions or changes will be forwarded to the Audit and Compliance Committee, following the process used for annual declarations. -The chair of the Cooperative counsels any trustee or officer about prohibited conflicts of interest and other instances of noncompliance with the policy, including apparent undisclosed conflicts of interest and, if not resolved to his/her satisfaction, places the matter on the agenda of an executive session. The chief compliance and ethics officer supports the chair of the Cooperative in fulfilling this responsibility. -Trustees disclose an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, when such an interest becomes a matter for Board action. Any trustee having an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, related to a matter at issue does not vote, take other action, or use his/her personal influence on the matter beyond that described below. The minutes of the meeting reflect that a disclosure was made and that the trustee abstained from participation in the discussion except as described below. If any trustee has reason to believe s/he or another trustee may have an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, the trustee shall raise the question for consideration. If there is any disagreement regarding the existence of an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, the chair of the Cooperative polls other trustees to determine if the Board concludes that an actual conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interest exists. If the Board concludes there is a conflict or the appearance of a conflict, then the trustee abstains from voting or discussions on the matter. The requirements of this paragraph should not be construed as preventing the trustee with an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, from briefly stating his/her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of other trustees or officers since his/her knowledge may be of assistance. -Group Health officers, other employees, and GHP employees acting on behalf of Group Health disclose an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, when such an interest is relevant to a matter in which they have a role, either directly or through subordinates acting at their direction. Group Health officers, other employees, or GHP employees acting on behalf of Group Health having an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, related to a matter at issue do not participate in the matter or use his/her personal or professional influence on the matter. Any Group Health officer, other employee, or GHP employee acting on behalf of Group Health who believes he/she may have an actual conflict of interest, or the appearance of such a conflict, is expected to abstain from participation or stating his/her position in the matter, or may ask his/her direct supervisor to determine if the supervisor believes that an actual conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interest exists. If the supervisor determines that a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict exists, the individual abstains from participation in the matter. Consultation with the Office of Compliance and Ethics is recommended when it is difficult to determine whether the circumstances constitute a conflict of interest. -The Group Health Office of Compliance and Ethics is responsible for developing compliance procedures for administering this policy, developing procedures for the disclosure statements to be completed by key persons (defined in the policy as individuals holding certain high-level positions and other positions involving transactions with outside parties that may give rise to potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts), and for providing general guidance to Group Health management and employees regarding compliance with this policy. The Office of Compliance and Ethics consults with Group Health executive management to ensure support for the implementation and administration of this policy. The chief compliance and ethics officer provides periodic reports to the Audit and Compliance Committee on the implementation and administration of this policy. -All key persons complete an annual disclosure statement to identify actual conflicts of interest, or circumstances that might give the appearance of a conflict of interest, or to attest that no such conflict exists. During the year, key persons report material additions or changes to the information provided on annual conflict of interest declarations. These additions or changes to the declarations are submitted to the Office of Compliance and Ethics, following the process used for annual declarations. -All disclosure statements of key persons who have a Group Health manager are reviewed by the key person's direct manager and by the Office of Compliance and Ethics to determine whether or to what extent any disclosed activity may be undertaken. The disclosure statements of key persons who do not have a Group Health manager (trustees, the president and CEO) are reviewed by the Office of Compliance and Ethics. Not every potential conflict of interest situation will warrant action. -Covered persons not considered key persons may also be asked to complete annual disclosure statements.
ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION SETTING PROCESSFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 Group Health Cooperative (GHC) is governed by an independent Board of Trustees ("the Board"), comprised of 11 consumers elected by GHC's voting members. The Board has delegated to the compensation committee of the Board (the "committee") the responsibility for negotiating and approving the employment agreement and compensation package for the GHC President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"); approving the executive total compensation philosophy that drives all executive compensation decisions; and approving compensation for the Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents of GHC (except for compensation established in the initial written contracts offered to candidates for Vice President positions who are not then employed by GHC and who have not been determined to be a "disqualified person" under applicable IRS regulations, as to whom the Board has delegated such authority to the CEO). The five members of the committee are the Chair of the Board of Trustees, the Vice Chair, and three additional trustees selected by the Chair. As adopted by the committee, the executive total compensation philosophy provides that GHC will maintain an executive total compensation program designed to facilitate the achievement of its charitable mission, values and organizational goals. Executive compensation is set at a level that enables the organization to attract, retain, motivate and reward the highest caliber executives at a cost that is consistent with our performance and charitable mission. Based upon those principles, the philosophy confirms that compensation will be compared to comparable organizations (HMOs and managed care, health care, and health insurance organizations), and that base salary ranges will be built around 50th percentile market base pay levels (with flexibility to recognize individual skills, experience and contributions) , annual and long-term incentives will be targeted at the 50th percentile (with an opportunity to earn above that level based on performance), and benefits and perquisites will be established consistent with market practices. A significant portion of executives' total compensation is contingent on organizational and individual performance. Consistent with GHC's philosophy, the committee reviews and approves the annual performance goals and criteria to be used in determining salary increases and incentive compensation criteria for the GHC CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents (which group includes all GHC key employees and GHC officers, excluding the Chair of the Board and the Vice Chair, who are not employed by GHC). The committee also hires a qualified independent compensation consultant (an independent expert) to review, analyze and provide benchmarking data for the total compensation and benefits packages of the CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents. Appropriate comparability data is obtained from the independent expert, i.e., compensation paid by similarly situated organizations (both taxable and tax- exempt, of similar size and in the same industry) for similar job responsibilities. The committee's written records and minutes include the (1) terms of the arrangement with the disqualified person (including the date the arrangement was approved); (2) a list of members present during the debate on the transaction (and how the members voted when it was approved); and (3) a description of the comparable data relied on by the committee. Key deliberations of the committee are also documented in minutes which are approved at the next committee meeting. The committee's compensation decisions are shared with the Board. The following are the 2014 offices and positions for which the above-described process was used to establish compensation for the persons who held these positions: President & CEO; Vice President (VP), Administrative Services Division; Executive Vice President (EVP), Group Practice Division; VP, Network Services & Provider Relations; VP, Provider Relations & Care Management; VP, Sales; EVP, Human Resources; VP, Group Health Research Institute; VP, Consultative Specialty Services & Market Development; VP, Chief Technology Officer; EVP & Chief Information Officer; VP, Public Affairs; VP, Marketing; VP, Public Affairs & Marketing; EVP, Marketing & Public Affairs; EVP & Chief Financial Officer; VP, Strategic Planning, Deployment & Business Development; EVP, Health Plan Division; VP, Health Plan Administration; VP, Community Responsibility; VP, Primary Care, Clinical Excellence & Nursing; VP, Clinical Excellence & Integration, Chief Nurse; VP, Employee & Labor Relations; EVP, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Services; VP & General Counsel; VP, Analytics & Chief Medical Information Officer; VP, Market Development; VP, Chief Actuary; VP, Financial Planning & Analysis; VP, Treasury; VP & Chief Accounting Officer; VP, Innovation, Development & Business Services; VP, Clinical Ancillary Services; VP, Lines of Business & Product Management; VP Human Resources Operations; VP, Human Resources Business Solutions; and VP, Clinical Operations & Market Integration. This process was also used in 2013.
