Supplemental Nonqualified Retirement PlanForm 990, Schedule J, Line 4-bMemorial Hermann Healthcare System (of which the Foundation is a part) sponsors two nonqualified retirement plans for certain executives who are part of a select group of highly compensated or management employees. The first plan is a make-up plan and provides for an annual payment (upon achieving full vesting in the qualified retirement plan) equivalent to the amount of contribution from the employer that is lost to the employee due to the limits on compensation and benefits in the Internal Revenue Code. The second plan is called the Deferred Compensation Plan, and it provides for a payment (upon full vesting in the plan). In this plan, certain executives who are part of a select group of highly compensated or management employees are provided with a payment such that the total retirement contribution for the participant is based on a percentage of the participant's base salary. For example, someone earning a base salary in the range of $200,000 to $350,000 will receive a payment such that the total amount of retirement contributions from the qualified cash balance pension plan, the make-up plan and this plan equal 20%. Base salary range >$600,000 Total Contributions @ 27.5% of base salary; $350,000 to $600,000 @ 24%; $200,000 to $350,000 @ 20%; < $200,000 @ 17.9% Applicable amounts paid for the persons listed: AULBAUGH, CARROL $125,243 BAYLESS, ELIZABETH $ 16,470 BECKSTETT, DOUGLAS $ 88,410 GLEASON, RANDY $ 74,913 McVEIGH, DENNIS $ 41,171 TREVINO, ILEANA $ 5,832 WOLTERMAN, DAN $ 36,656
Non Fixed Payments of CompensationForm 990, Schedule J, Line 7Memorial Hermann Healthcare System (of which the Foundation is a part) sponsors an executive compensation philosophy that is based on competitive market and pay-for-performance principles. The Compensation Committee of the System implements this philosophy by, generally, setting base salaries at the median of the organization's talent market and using an annual incentive plan and long-term incentive plan that make incentive payments based on the achievement of performance goals determined by the Committee at the beginning of the year for the annual plan or at the beginning of the three year cycle for the long-term performance plan. In all cases, the incentive targets are set so that all payments will be reasonable.
Tax Indemnification and Gross Up PaymentsForm 990, Schedule J, Line 1aMemorial Hermann provides certain cash payments to employees for non-wage purposes that are grossed up for tax indemnification. These could include moving related expenses, special recognition rewards, and holiday awards. The payments are included in each employee's W-2 as taxable income on a grossed-up basis.

Payroll record keepingForm 990, Part V, Line 2bThe employees of the Memorial Hermann Foundation are record-kept and paid through the payroll system of Memorial Hermann Hospital System and reported under the Hospital System's EIN for Form 941 and Form W-2 purposes. All costs of the compensation and benefits of the Foundation employees are reimbursed to the Hospital System.
Members of CorporationForm 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6, Line 7a and Line 7bThe Memorial Hermann Foundation has as its sole member Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, both of which are a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity. The member has the authority to annually elect the board members of the organization and to terminate and replace them at its discretion. The member has approval authority over the decisions of the board for amendments to the bylaws and articles of incorporation, annual operating and capital budget, the purchase or sale of substantial assets, and the merger or dissolution of the organization.
Review of Form 990Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 10The Memorial Hermann Foundation provides a copy of the Form 990 to any member of the governing body that requests one. The Form 990 is reviewed by Memorial Hermann financial accounting staff, by specific departments involved in related sections of the return, by the Memorial Hermann Chief Financial Officer, and by Memorial Hermann's public accounting firm Ernst & Young prior to its filing.
Conflict of Interest PolicyForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThe Memorial Hermann Healthcare System began utilizing conflict of interest surveys in the 1970's and codified its procedure in a policy in 1980. The policy is monitored by our Corporate Compliance Department through annual surveys of board members, corporate officers, management level employees, and other selected employees, physicians and vendors for all of its entities and related affiliates. In addition to responding to the survey, each recipient affirms that they have received a copy of the policy, has read and understood it, has agreed to comply with it, and understands that Memorial Hermann is a charitable organization that must engage in primarily tax-exempt purpose activities. The Corporate Compliance Department, Chief Legal Officer and the Corporate Audit Committee, consisting of independent board members, review and investigate all survey responses and report to the Corporate Board of Directors on the existence of any conflicts.
Compensation of Directors, Officers, and Key EmployeesForm 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 15a and Line 15bThe process for determining compensation for the Organization's CEO and other top management is modeled after the requirements in Internal Revenue Code Section 4958 to establish the presumption of reasonable compensation. Compensation was reviewed and approved by a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, which is comprised of independent persons. By engaging an independent compensation consultant, the Committee considered comparable market data from published surveys and Form 990 of comparable organizations in evaluating the compensation for each individual. The Committee conducted a review of this comparability data and documented its deliberation and discussion in minutes that are retained with the other governance materials of the Organization. The Committee followed the process to establish the presumption that compensation paid to the Organization's CEO and other top management for purposes of Section 4958 by relying on professional advice in the written opinion of reasonableness from the independent compensation consultant
Disclosure of Corporate Organizational DocumentsForm 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19The articles of incorporation, corporate bylaws, conflict of interest policy and financial statements of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System and its affiliates are generally not made available to the public. If the inquirer provided a valid reason for desiring a copy of the documents that are related to the business interests of any of the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System corporate entities, we would consider doing so.
Audited Financial Statement OversightForm 990, Part II, Line 2cMemorial Hermann Healthcare System has independent committees for audits, governance, and compensation which perform their respective functions on a consolidated basis for all corporate entities, including the Foundation. The audit committee hires the independent accounts and oversees all audits that are conducted within all affiliated entities for financial information, grants and awards, and qualified plans.
Business Relationship between Directors, Officers, and Key EmployeesForm 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Director Alvaro Trullenque and Director Richard Hunton have a business relationship unrelated to the activities of Memorial Hermann Foundation.
Corporate Compliance and Fraud and AbuseForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 13Memorial Hermann Healthcare System is committed to providing all services in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines, as well as with its own policies and procedures. Memorial Hermann is particularly sensitive to requirements applicable to federal and state healthcare programs and the submission of accurate bills for all services provided. Compliance by vendors, contractors and consultants conducting business on behalf of Memorial Hermann or in the Memorial Hermann work environment is important to Memorial Hermann's overall compliance efforts. In accordance with the requirements of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Memorial Hermann has developed False Claims Policies. These policies state that Memorial Hermann is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations and supports the efforts of federal and state authorities in identifying incidents of fraud and/or abuse and has the necessary procedures in place to prevent, detect, report and correct incidents of fraud and/or abuse in accordance with contractual, regulatory and statutory requirements. All contractors or agents of Memorial Hermann must comply with the Memorial Hermann False Claims Policies which are modeled after the state and federal policies. The MHHCS Compliance Program includes these 7 elements: A Compliance Officer and Committee: to oversee and advise the Compliance Program. Compliance Policies and Procedures: to provide written guidance to help employees do their job and demonstrate our commitment to compliance. Compliance Training and Education: to ensure appropriate education on areas of legal and regulatory compliance. Auditing and Monitoring: to conduct periodic and ongoing auditing and monitoring of high-risk areas and adherence to policies and procedures. Corrective Action: to develop plans to resolve identified issues, prevent them from happening again and avoid the risk of the same or similar issues occurring in other areas, departments or facilities. Disciplinary Guidelines: may be necessary to encourage prompt reporting of Compliance concerns, to ensure non-retaliation for reporting concerns and to encourage cooperation with compliance investigations. Open Lines of Communication: to establish an open environment for reporting compliance concerns - a hotline is available to all employees to call to report compliance concerns and non-retaliation for reporting a compliance concern in good faith and to encourage cooperation with compliance investigations. Open Lines of Communication: to establish an open environment for reporting compliance concerns - a hotline is available to all employees to call to report compliance concerns and non-retaliation for reporting a compliance concern in good faith
Community Benefits and NeedsNeeds AssessmentEach decision made by Memorial Hermann to invest its people, resources, and talents in community benefit efforts is data driven. Given that 32% of the Houston area is uninsured, numerous community needs analyses center around the University of Texas School of Public Health's HOUSTON AREA HOSPITALS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT USE STUDY, which Memorial Hermann has participated in since 2003. The study monitors hospital emergency department (ED) use in Houston hospitals and is a data source for numerous assessments to understand primary care-related ED use including the characteristics of these patients; particularly those who are children, who are uninsured, and who have Medicaid. The study conducted in 2009 showed a decline in primary care related ER visits from 83.2% in 2004 to 81.2% in 2007. With the desire to change emergency room use comes the need to identify available capacity of our existing safety-net clinics, and what is needed by each entity to increase its capacity to be able to respond to changes in ER usage our community efforts achieve. This study, the Greater Houston Clinic Capacity Analysis, was performed several years ago by Project Safety-Net and University of Texas School of Public Health and is again underway in 2009. Preliminary results indicate an increase in safety-net capacity from 48% in 2005 to 60% in 2009. Prioritizing areas in need of school-based health care for un- and under-insured children is an on-going assessment process for Memorial Hermann with our fourteen year history with school-based healthcare. A variety of data sources are applied including school district demographic data, census poverty data, identification of safety-net resources, identification of Medicaid and SCHIP enrollees in relation to Providers, and, again, the ED Use Study. Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance All Memorial Hermann Acute Care facilities and Rehab facilities have Third Party Qualification vendors on-site. Once someone requests or a financial counselor has determined through interaction with the patient and/or guarantor that the patient cannot pay for services, the patient/guarantor is referred to the Eligibility vendor on-site to screen for any Federal/State/Local Government programs which may cover their services. These vendors act as agents for the patient/guarantor and may at times go to hearings for Medicaid or Disability as a legal representative of the patient. Also, all our entities have posted notices of a patient's right to request charity. Our statements that are sent to patients have documentation on the back informing the patient of Memorial Hermann's Charity policy and their right to request such, (in English and Spanish). Accounts are referred to be processed either on a real time basis by the hospital staff while the patient is still in the hospital or by electronic referral via data download which occur weekly and after the patient has been discharged. The goal is to make contact with the patient for financial screening to determine eligibility for governmental assistance as soon as possible. Additional assistance for patients to take advantage of all appropriate health improvement programs available within the community are through Memorial Hermann's navigation services. Patient Navigators (also known as Community Health Workers) meet uninsured persons where they are in the healthcare continuum and help them to move forward to achieve mutually agreed upon goals, which includes finding and obtaining a Primary Care Physician or Medical Home. In 2009 they were located in three Memorial Hermann ERs and worked with uninsured families to: 1) secure county, state, and federal benefits; 2) to connect with an accessible community clinic that addresses their specific needs; and 3) to be a contact for future needs. Similar support of all Memorial Hermann Hospitals is also provided through the COPE (Care Management Community Program Eligibility) Program which provides empowering services for uninsured patients to improve their health and well being through education about and coordination with community health services. COPE targets patients who have repetitively been inpatients and ER patients and exhibit the need for one- on-one support to identify, access, and obtain services in their own community. Enrolling these populations into public benefits through all of these venues automatically increases their likelihood of obtaining regular primary and preventative care; the kind of care that ensures health and the potential for a prosperous future while concurrently eliminating the cost burden presently experienced by safety-net providers. Community Information Houston's Harris County is the third most populated county in the nation and one of the most culturally diverse metropolitan areas in the country. Interestingly, all of its ethnic communities are now 'minorities' (Stephen L. Klineberg, The New Rice University "Center for the Study of Houston"). Houston is home to the world's largest medical center. People come from all over the world to obtain the highest quality care, based on the latest research. Unfortunately, a large portion of Houston's own residents face barriers to accessing these world class services. In Harris County, 1.1 million of the 3.5 million residents have no health insurance. Fifteen percent (15%) of the nation is uninsured; 32% of Houston's population is uninsured. In 2009, 25% of survey respondents interviewed for the 28th Houston Area Survey said, 'yes," in answer to the question: "during the past five years, did you or anyone in your family ever have to go without medical treatment because of the cost of that treatment?" Driving this response are the seventy-two percent (72%) of the uninsured who are actually working individuals and families. The reasons include the fact that today only 53% of Texas employers offer health benefits to their employees - 7% below the national average. Additionally, the Texas Medicaid program, the statewide system of coverage for the very poor and predominantly for poor children, is limited in comparison to other states' programs. The single largest private employer is Wal-Mart, a company in which high premiums and deductibles keep well over half of Wal-Mart workers from participating in the company health plan. Other large private employers include our own Memorial Hermann, Continental Airlines, and Exxon Mobil. The overall largest employer is the Houston Independent School District (HISD), the seventh largest school district in the nation. Memorial Hermann has been named into HISD's Hall of Fame, an award which recognizes a forged, viable partnership. Imagine serving a community in which one in every three people is uninsured and remaining financially viable. The course chosen by Memorial Hermann is to systematically work through a variety of evidence based community initiatives that work to close the gap for children and families. Other information important to describing how the organization furthers its exempt purposes by promoting the health of the community. Through our fourteen-year history with school-based health care (a program in which we place full-time primary care clinics on the school campuses of the community's most at-risk children); we have learned to quantitatively show the improved health status of providing a medical, mental health, and dental home to at-risk children. The annual budget of $1.5 million for this program is the best indicator of Memorial Hermann's commitment and the documented outcomes are the best indicator that the right program in the right setting can make a difference. Over the years this approach has been applied to additional key initiatives that address the issue of healthcare access for the underserved. From the provision and support of accessible primary and specialty care services to the educational programs to support the infrastructure of each, we are committed to finding ways to serve the uninsured. Following are some of the core programs, all of which center around access to care, and specifically access in which all populations have a medical home on which they can call for their preventive, acute care, and long term needs. Memorial Hermann's Health Centers for Schools program, established in 1996, operate as medical, mental health, and dental homes to underserved children at 33 schools in the greater Houston area, making access to free healthcare services available to 25,500 youth. Eighty-four percent of the children seen at the clinics are on the free/reduced lunch program, a national indicator for poverty. Outcome data validates the impact the program is having: reductions in ER visits, absenteeism, cholesterol, asthma exacerbations, and dental caries are just a sample of the measurable outcomes realized by bringing a medical, mental health and dental home to children.
Community Benefits contiunuedNeeds Assessment continuedMemorial Hermann's Neighborhood Health Centers are strategically located near three of Houston's busiest ERs and provide care to working families without access to insurance and who do not qualify for other programs. The goal is to provide this population with a medical home for routine care, and prevent these cases from escalating to emergencies. At $48/visit, with low cost labs and prescriptions, seven day a week access, and the provision of preventive, acute, as well as chronic care, they are an affordable medical home for newborns to the elderly. Decreased hypertension, management of diabetes, and a place where women feel comfortable returning for their annual well-woman exams are examples of the continuity of care and improved health resulting. Memorial Hermann supports the operating costs of each center prior to break-even. Patient Navigators (also known as Community Health Workers) meet uninsured persons where they are in the healthcare continuum and help them to move forward to achieve mutually agreed upon goals, which includes finding and obtaining a Primary Care Physician or Medical Home. They help clients understand their qualification for public benefits; understand how to utilize public benefits; and tackle the barriers that keep them from accessing their safety-net options. Patient Navigators are used in a variety of settings, including emergency rooms to connect and guide uninsured persons through the healthcare system. Memorial Hermann has played numerous and critical roles with a grass-roots Houston collaborative, Gateway to Care and its Provider Health Network (PHN) to recruit physicians, hospitals, and ancillary providers to provide specialty care to uninsured patients with incomes below 150% of poverty. With one in every four primary care visits requiring a referral to a specialist, the Provider Health Network serves as a bridge, connecting uninsured people to the specialty care they desperately need to get well. Recruiting is through numerous avenues-societies, insurance companies, etc.-to rally the resulting city-wide effort. The PHN has provided significant opportunities for our own medical staffs to participate in caring for the uninsured. The provision of an organized effort with a designated staff for monitoring referrals is welcomed by the medical community as they desperately want to be a part of a solution, but fear being overwhelmed. The PHN consists today of 900 providers, 33 hospitals and 42+ ancillary providers. In the last three years, the PHN has provided $5.8 million in charity care. This equates to the provision of $9.34 of service for every $1.00 of infrastructure. In the PHN, everyone plays a part. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC's) and not-for-profit private clinics struggle with the payer distribution challenges required to be successful. They are essential to the city's existing safety-net infrastructure, yet struggle more in Houston than other communities because of the area's high uninsured rate. Memorial Hermann annually supports several area clinics with monetary donations to help these essential primary medical, mental health, and dental clinics remain in operation. Respective roles of the organization and its affiliates. Leadership: When Dan Wolterman became CEO of Memorial Hermann in 2002, both he and the Board were committed to 'move wisely into the future while, at the same time, preserving the dignity of Memorial Hermann's identity, culture, and mission. His primary challenge was to paint a vision of what Memorial Hermann could become, and then forcefully communicate that vision to employees, physicians, and the community as a whole'. As a system with 24% market share and the largest provider of charity care (including the Hospital District), two key components to address were the uninsured and the over-burdened, fragmented safety net provider system presently existing for the uninsured. Appointed by the mayor, Dan was on the 2004 Public Health Task Force which developed recommendations on how to better collaborate public and private health care delivery programs, and on Houston's Healthcare Alliance which established the issues hindering the effectiveness of the existing health care infrastructure. Dan believed that his external relationships would be key to rallying the community to address the issues that had been identified, and his election to the leadership of the Greater Houston Partnership (Houston's Chamber of Commerce) and Texas VHA (Voluntary Hospitals of America) was the beginning of his strategies to accomplish that goal. As a spokesman and through the promotion of his white paper: 'A Region in Crisis: A Call to Reduce the Uninsured and Expand Access to Health Care in the Ten-County Houston Region', he emphasizes that the problem is regional and can only be solved through collaborative initiatives undertaken by all stakeholders-government, health care providers, businesses, faith-based organizations and others. The blueprint outlined has been adopted by the Greater Houston Partnership. Through the leadership of Houston's business community combined with government leadership throughout the region, the tactics outlined have a chance for regional implementation and significant improvement in access. To devote to this area the time and focus required, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System established a Community Benefits Corporation, led by a Chief, Community Benefits Officer. Carol Paret is responsible for the development, implementation, and success of a formalized community benefit program that guides the system expenditures and quantifies the resulting community values. This position is responsible for a 3-year strategic plan. The Memorial Hermann Hospital System contributes five million dollars annually to the Community Benefits Corporation (CBC) and, in turn, the CBC is charged with the creation, implementation, and sustenance of solutions. The CBC is focused on eliminating the roadblocks that prevent access to healthcare--lack of education, accessibility, insurance status, and capacity--and partners with numerous sectors of the community to sustain this focus. All of the programs described in #6 above, fall within the scope of the CBC. Organizational Commitment: Whether as one of the 140 Board members, one of the 19,500 employees, or one of the 4,200 physicians, we are expected to support the mission, vision, values, plans, and policies of Memorial Hermann. A strategic plan to engage staff in ways to become a part of larger community efforts focuses on the following major programs: The United Way - as a pacesetter for healthcare in the greater Houston area, Memorial Hermann annually leads the industry in contributions. Memorial Hermann employees raised $715,984 for this year's United Way Campaign. Food Drive - each facility donates the proceeds from the annual food drive to a local agency to make an impact within the community in which the facility resides. Since 2001 the System has, on average, annually collected 33,000 pounds of food and $29,000 in money to donate to agencies serving those facing job losses and work reductions. Blood Drive - since 1993 Memorial Hermann has hosted drives that have contributed more than 52,414 units of blood to the community. In 2009, the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center recognized Memorial Hermann with the "Path for Success Award" as having had one of the most successful hospital blood drive programs in the nation, saving more than 12,000 lives per year. American Heart Walk, MS150 Bicycle Race - system-wide volunteer efforts such as these sustain an engaged workforce, organize community support, and strengthen our culture. Covenant House - For more than fourteen years Memorial Hermann has partnered with and provided free linen services for Covenant House, a child care agency that provides free emergency shelter, counseling, vocational and educational services, and health care and legal information to homeless and runaway youth. Salud Para Todos - Memorial Hermann and Community Health Choice (a Health Maintenance Organization owned and operated by the Harris County Hospital District) partnered to create and implement "Salud Para Todos"- a campaign to educate the Hispanic community on the value of a medical home and how to utilize nurse triage services. The mechanism was 6-month TV and radio ads on Univision, Houston's #1 Spanish language station. University of Texas School of Nursing at Houston - Memorial Hermann financially partners with several nursing schools in the support of creative solutions to increase enrollment of student nurses and therefore increase the number of nurses working within our community. creative solutions to increase enrollment of student nurses and therefore increase the number of nurses working within our community.
