PART I, LINE 7(F) PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE FOR PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F).
PART I, LINE 7 PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE	COST-TO CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO CHARGES, WAS USED TO REPORT THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES: CHARITY CARE AT COST UNREIMBURSED COSTS-OTHER-MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (HEALTHCARE ASSISTANCE) GROUP HEALTH UTILIZED THE STATUTORY LINE OF BUSINESS REPORT AND OTHER INTERNAL REPORTS, THAT PROVIDE DETAILED REVENUE AND EXPENSE BY LINE OF BUSINESS USING THE INCOME STATEMENT AND COST MANAGEMENT DATA (CMD) EXPENSE AND UTILIZATION INFORMATION. ON A MONTHLY BASIS, ALL GAAP GENERAL LEDGER EXPENSES ARE LOADED INTO THE CMD COSTING SYSTEM AT THE ACCOUNTING UNIT (AU) AND ACCOUNT LEVEL ALONG WITH PATIENT UTILIZATION INFORMATION FROM VARIOUS UTILIZATION SYSTEMS. EACH AU IS CATEGORIZED WITHIN CMD AS ONE OF THREE TYPES OF EXPENSES: 1) DELIVERY SYSTEM REPRESENTING MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO CONSUMERS; 2) HEALTH PLAN REPRESENTING INSURANCE SERVICES; OR 3) OVERHEAD REPRESENTING ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES TO BOTH DELIVERY SYSTEM AND HEALTH PLAN. OVERHEAD IS ALLOCATED TO EITHER DELIVERY SYSTEM OR HEALTH PLAN USING A STEP DOWN PROCESS BASED ON RELEVANT STATISTICS SUCH AS NUMBER OF FTES, LABOR COST, SQUARE FEET, ETC. THE OVERHEAD ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE BETWEEN DELIVERY SYSTEM AND HEALTH PLAN ARE DETERMINED AND MAINTAINED BY THE CMD COSTING AND COSTING METHODOLOGY REVIEW TEAM.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING	GROUP HEALTH LEADERS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUE TO SERVE ON A NUMBER OF COALITIONS, COLLABORATIVES AND BOARDS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THESE INCLUDE THE PUGET SOUND HEALTH ALLIANCE, THE KING COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT COLLABORATIVE, THE COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION GRANTS STEERING COMMITTEES AND THEIR TEAMS, YOUTH CARE, YMCA, ALLIANCE FOR EDUCATION AND THE WASHINGTON CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE TO NAME A FEW.

PART III, LINE 4, BAD DEBT EXPENSE	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS DESCRIBED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTES ON PAGE 9 UNDER SECTION (F) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND (G) PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND RETROACTIVITY.
PART III, LINE 8, MEDICARE SHORTFALL	GROUP HEALTH FILES A LOW VOLUME MEDICARE COST REPORT WHICH INCLUDES ONLY STATISTICAL USAGE INFORMATION. THE LOW VOLUME REPORT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PAYMENT FROM CMS OR COST INFORMATION FOUND IN FULL COST REPORTS. GROUP HEALTH USES INTERNAL MEDICARE CHARGE AND REVENUE INFORMATION TO COMPUTE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR ITS CENTRAL HOSPITAL MEDICARE COSTS. GROUP HEALTH DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9, COLLECTION POLICY	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECOGNIZED WHEN A PATIENT WHO IS DETERMINED TO HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES IS UNWILLING TO SETTLE THE BILL. STANDARD PRACTICE IS TO REFER ACCOUNTS FOR COLLECTION AFTER THREE 30 DAY BILLING CYCLES HAVE PASSED WITHOUT PAYMENT. EACH BILLING STATEMENT INCLUDES INFORMATION ON HOW PATIENTS CAN CONTACT GROUP HEALTH'S SPONSORED CARE DEPARTMENT TO INQUIRE ABOUT PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. AT ANY POINT IN THE BILLING PROCESS WHEN THE PATIENT INFORMS GROUP HEALTH THEY ARE UNABLE TO PAY, THEY ARE SCREENED FOR LIKELY ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SENT A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, WHICH COLLECTS INCOME AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION. IF A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE, THE CHARGES ARE WRITTEN OFF AS ADJUSTMENTS TO REVENUE AND NOT RECOGNIZED AS BAD DEBT. THE COLLECTIONS PROCESS IS TERMINATED.
PART V, LINE 20D	GROUP 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 VI, LINE 2, NEEDS ASSESSMENT	WORK HAS BEGUN TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. GROUP HEALTH HAS STARTED CONVERSTIONS AND INTERVIEWS WITH BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING PUBLIC HEALTH, CITY GOVERNMENT, THE HEALTHCARE SAFETY NET, CULTURAL COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS AND HEALTH ADVOCACY IN KING COUNTY. GROUP HEALTH PARTICIPATES IN POLICY AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO ENSURE GREATER ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE, TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE AND CARE FOR LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS. THIS INCLUDES ASSURING THAT THE GROUP HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IS INCLUDED WITH OTHER SAFETY NET AND COMMUNITY PROVIDERS IN BOTH MEDICAID AND BASIC HEALTH PROGRAMS, A STATE DEVELOPED COVERAGE PROGRAM OFFERING SUBSIDIZED PREMIUMS FOR LOW-INCOME ADULTS AND FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO SPREADING A PROVEN DELIVERY SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY, GROUP HEALTH HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE IDENTIFICATION AND FULFILLMENT OF PUBLIC-DOMAIN RESEARCH RELATED TO PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS. LASTLY, GROUP HEALTH CONTINUES TO TRAIN NECESSARY AND CRITICALLY-IMPORTANT HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOR MORE THAN 40 DIFFERENT MEDICAL AND ANCILLARY HEALTH PROFESSIONS, ESPECIALLY IN HIGH-DEMAND SHORTAGE PROFESSIONS SUCH AS PRIMARY CARE AND AMBULATORY NURSING.
PART VI, LINE 3, PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	GROUP HEALTH HAS TWO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WHICH ARE ADMINISTERED AS THE SPONSORED CARE PROGRAM. THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM IS FOR PATIENTS SEEKING HOSPITAL SERVICES WHO HAVE INCOMES AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL). 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. GROUP HEALTH INFORMS PATIENTS ABOUT SPONSORED CARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. GROUP HEALTH DISPLAYS POSTERS AT THE MAIN ENTRANCES OF GROUP HEALTH HOSPITAL, AND AT THE HOSPITAL'S URGENT CARE CENTER AND AT ITS LABOR/DELIVERY UNIT. EACH POSTER REPEATS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IN SEVEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES: "YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE HOSPITAL CARE. GROUP HEALTH COOPERATIVE PROVIDES FREE HOSPITAL CARE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AS "CHARITY CARE". YOU MUST MEET CERTAIN INCOME STANDARDS TO QUALIFY. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY QUALIFY, PLEASE ASK ABOUT CHARITY CARE AT THE REGISTRATION DESK." DESK CARDS AT THE RECEPTION AND REGISTRATION AREAS IN THE HOSPITAL REPEAT THE MESSAGE (IN ENGLISH) AND INCLUDE THE FINANCIAL GUIDELINES. 2. GROUP HEALTH HOSPITAL URGENT CARE STAFF PROVIDES 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.
PART VI, LINE 4, COMMUNITY INFORMATION	GROUP 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 2012, 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'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 RACIAL GROUPS. CURRENT DATA INDICATES 49.5% OF WASHINGTON'S BLACK 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. THE ETHNIC AND RACIAL MAKEUP OF OUR MEMBERS ARE AS FOLLOWS: CAUCASIAN (80%), AFRICAN AMERICAN/BLACK (3%), ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER (8%), HISPANIC (5%) ALASKA NATIVE/AMERICAN INDIAN (1%) AND OTHER (3%). IN 2012, GROUP HEALTH AND ITS WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES, GROUP HEALTH OPTIONS, INC. AND KPS HEALTH PLANS, PROVIDED HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND SERVICES TO APPROXIMATELY 644,000 INDIVIDUALS. GROUP HEALTH WAS ABLE TO REACH THESE INDIVIDUALS VIA INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY, COMMERCIAL GROUP, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND STATE-SUBSIDIZED LOW-INCOME ("BASIC HEALTH") ENROLLEES IN WASHINGTON AND NORTH IDAHO. MOST MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS RECEIVE SUCH SERVICES UNDER CAPITATION CONTRACTS BETWEEN GROUP HEALTH AND STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND OTHERS RECEIVE CARE ON A FEE-FOR-SERVICE BASIS. 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. SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO LOW-INCOME ENROLLEES, IN 2012, GROUP HEALTH PROVIDED COVERAGE TO HEALTHY OPTIONS (WASHINGTON STATE MANAGED MEDICAID) ENROLLEES IN 6 COUNTIES AROUND THE STATE AS WELL AS PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID FEE-FOR-SERVICE PATIENTS WHO WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS GROUP HEALTH THROUGH THE MANAGED MEDICAID PROGRAM.

IN ADDITION, IN 2012, GROUP HEALTH SERVICED APPROXIMATELY 7,500 BASIC HEALTH MEMBERS, LARGELY LOW-INCOME ADULTS IN 5 COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE. GROUP HEALTH HELD A HEALTHY OPTIONS AND A BASIC HEALTH CONTRACT BUT ONLY FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2012. DURING THE LAST 6 MONTHS OF 2012, WASHINGTON STATE CHANGED AND NARROWED ITS CONTRACTING PRACTICE FOR THESE PROGRAMS, AND GROUP HEALTH DISCONTINUED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AS A HEALTH PLAN IN THESE TWO LINES OF BUSINESS. INSTEAD, GROUP HEALTH'S DELIVERY SYSTEM SERVED PATIENTS AS A CONTRACTOR FOR SERVICES THROUGH MOLINA HEALTHCARE OF WASHINGTON. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OF 2012, AN AVERAGE OF 13,000 HEALTHY OPTIONS AND 5,000 BASIC HEALTH PATIENTS RECEIVED CARE THROUGH GROUP HEALTH PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS VIA THIS CONTRACT. IN ADDITION, GROUP HEALTH'S FAMILY BEGINNINGS UNIT (FBU) IN SEATTLE PROVIDES 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 ALLOW 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 2012, OVER 1,700 PATIENTS WERE TREATED IN OUR BIRTHING FACILITY, ONE OF THE FEW IN SEATTLE THAT ALLOWS CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE BIRTHING FOR ALL PATIENTS. FINALLY, THE GROUP HEALTH TEEN PREGNANCY AND PARENTING CLINIC PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN AND OTHER HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO BOTH GROUP HEALTH AND NON-GROUP HEALTH LOW-INCOME TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS. IN 2012, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS TREATED WAS 3,366.
PART VI, LINE 5, PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	GROUP HEALTH CONDUCTS PRACTICAL, PUBLIC DOMAIN RESEARCH TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND NATION THROUGH THE GROUP HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GHRI). SINCE GHRI'S INCEPTION IN 1983, GHRI INVESTIGATORS HAVE PUBLISHED MORE THAN 3,700 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 PEOPLE MAKE INFORMED MEDICAL DECISIONS, QUIT SMOKING, AND FIGHT OBESITY. OTHER RESEARCH IS IMPROVING THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF MEDICATIONS, IMMUNIZATIONS, MEDICAL IMAGING, AND CANCER SCREENING. 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 AND EVALUATE GROUP HEALTH'S ADVANCED PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOME MODEL, WHICH IMPROVES PATIENT EXPERIENCES WHILE DIRECTLY ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR EVIDENCE ON HOW HEALTH SYSTEMS CAN CONTAIN UNSUSTAINABLE COSTS WHILE PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY CARE. GHRI'S PATIENT-CENTERED, COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH ALIGNS WITH NATIONAL CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY HEALTH REFORM AS WELL AS THE CARE NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY. 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. GROUP HEALTH ENGAGES IN A VARIETY OF HEALTH PROMOTION ACTIVITIES. GROUP HEALTH PHYSICIAN AND STAFF VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED NO-COST MEDICAL SUPPORT AT MEDICAL TENTS SET UP AT THE SITES OF SEVERAL ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS WITH WIDE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

GROUP HEALTH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SEVERAL STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES, PILOTED AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND 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.

PART VI, LINE 6, AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	GROUP HEALTH COOPERATIVE IS ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST CONSUMER GOVERNED HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. GROUP HEALTH IS GOVERNED BY AN INDEPENDENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES COMPRISED OF 11 ENROLLED MEMBERS ALL OF WHOM RESIDE IN THE GROUP HEALTH SERVICE AREA AND ARE ELECTED BY GROUP HEALTH'S VOTING MEMBERSHIP. VOTING MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO ALL GROUP HEALTH ENROLLEES OVER THE AGE OF 18.

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
First Class Travel	Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a	Per the Group Health expense reimbursement policy, air travel is to be booked at coach class unless pre-authorized by the approving manager. The compensation committee of the board of Group Health authorized first-class travel for the President/CEO due to extensive amount of required business travel during 2012. First-class travel expense is not reported as taxable compensation as it is only reimbursed when incurred for business purposes.
Social Club Dues	Schedule J, Part 1, Line 1a	All employees are responsible for following all of Group Healths expense reimbursement guidelines and being good stewards of the company's resources. The Company will pay for certain executives' social club dues if the expense complies with the expense reimbursement policy and the business expenses are related to a legitimate business purpose and are reasonable for the situation in which they were incurred. Social club dues are not treated as taxable compensation when strictly incurred for business purpose.
Severance Payment	Schedule J, Part 1, Line 4a	The Group Health President and CEO, the Executive Vice Presidents, and the Vice Presidents are each parties to written employment agreements with Group Health Cooperative that provide for severance benefits under certain conditions. The president and CEO's employment agreement is Approved by the compensation committee of the board of trustees. Executives who are terminated for cause, or who elect to terminate their employment relationship without cause (meaning they voluntarily quit), are not entitled to severance benefits. In the event the executive is eligible for severance benefits, the severance benefits are as follows: Severance payments in the maximum, total amount of twelve (12) months of Base salary, (eighteen (18) months for the president and CEO), plus Medical and dental coverage (at the same level provided to the executive as of the date of separation) for a maximum of twelve (12) months (eighteen (18) months for the President and CEO). These benefits are forfeited if the executive violates the terms of the non-competition, Non-solicitation, and confidentiality commitments in the employment agreement. Further, with respect to the Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents, the severance payments (and medical and dental coverage) will cease after six months of the executive's separation date in the event and as of the date that the executive provides services, or enters into an agreement to provide services, as an employee or independent contractor to Group Health, any of its subsidiaries, Group Health Permanente, or any other organization in a comparable position (meaning an executive level position with compensation that is at least 80% of the executive's compensation as of the separation date). Last, the President and CEO's employment agreement also provides for severance payments in the event of a change in control, which the employment agreement defines as (1) the acquisition by another organization of ownership or control of all or substantially all of the assets or operations of Group Health, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, joint venture, Partnership, affiliation, management agreement, sale or transfer of assets, or otherwise; (2) a conversion of Group Health to a stock-based corporation; (3) a fifty percent (50%) or greater change in the composition of the Board of Trustees that occurs within any single calendar year; or (4) any other change in the management or operational control of Group Health that is determined by the Group Health Board of Trustees by majority vote to be a change in control for purposes of the CEO's employment agreement. Executive receiving severance payments in 2012: Pamela MacEwan, Asst Secretary 183,019 Brian Harris, VP, Network Svc & Care Mgmt, 134,000 Joel Suelzle, VP, Health Plan Administration, 91,442
Supplemental Nonqualified Retirement Plan	Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b	The Group Health President and CEO, the Executive Vice Presidents, and the Vice Presidents are eligible to participate in a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "plan") approved by the Group Health Cooperative Board of Trustees compensation committee and administered by the compensation committee. Group Health credits to the account of each active participant an annual contribution amount of nine percent of the participant's base salary (15.3% for the President and CEO). The formula for the annual contribution is based on the participant's base salary and excludes any incentive plan or bonus payment amounts. The plan balances are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until the participant has vested and met other plan requirements. Vesting occurs after either three years or five years from the date on which a participant enters the plan, based on the participant's date of hire (as of January 1, 2008, all new Executive Vice President and Vice President hires are subject to a five-year vesting schedule).

ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION SETTING PROCESS	FORM 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. 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 JUSTIFIABLE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OUR MEMBERS AND CONSISTENT WITH OUR CHARITABLE MISSION." BASED UPON THOSE PRINCIPLES, THE PHILOSOPHY CONFIRMS THAT ALTHOUGH COMPENSATION WILL BE COMPETITIVE AS COMPARED TO COMPARABLE HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, BASE SALARY RANGES WILL BE BUILT AROUND 50TH PERCENTILE MARKET BASE PAY LEVELS, ANNUAL 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. CONSISTENT WITH THIS 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 EXPERTS, 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 FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE 2012 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), ACUTE, POST-ACUTE, PHARMACY, LAB AND EPRO (APPLE DIVISION); VP, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIVISION; VP, FINANCE; INTERIM VP, PRIMARY CARE SERVICES; INTERIM EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT (EVP), GROUP PRACTICE DIVISION; VP, PRIMARY CARE SERVICE; VP, NETWORK SERVICES & CARE MANAGEMENT; EVP, GROUP PRACTICE DIVISION; VP, SALES; EVP, HUMAN RESOURCES; VP, GROUP HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE; VP, CONSULTATIVE SPECIALTY & ACUTE CARE SERVICES; VP, CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER; EVP, PUBLIC AFFAIRS & GOVERNANCE; VP, MARKETING; EVP, CHIEF FINANCIAL & ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER; VP, STRATEGIC PLANNING & DEPLOYMENT; EVP, HEALTH PLAN DIVISION; VP, COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY; VP, HEALTH PLAN ADMINISTRATION; VP, CLINICAL EXCELLENCE & NURSING OPERATIONS; EVP & GENERAL COUNSEL; VP & DEPUTY GENERAL COUNSEL.
