        <Explanation>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 Market Segment Report (MSR), an internal management report that provides detailed revenue and expense by line of business using GAAP 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. The following community benefit expenses are reported based on the MSR: Unreimbursed medicaid Unreimbursed costs-other means-tested government programs (Basic Health Plan) Community health improvement services and communit benefit operations Health professions education Subsidized health services Research Cash and in-kind contributions to community groups</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Part III, Line 4, Bad Debt Expense</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Schedule H, Part III, Line 4, Bad Debt Expense</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Bad debt is recorded when a patient who is determined to have the financial capacity to pay for services is unwilling to settle the bill. Bad debt includes patients/guarantors: -who do not pay for legitimate services after 3 cycle bills -whose mail is returned to Group Health and who cannot be contacted -who declare bankruptcy -who fail to meet in-house payment arrangements -who agree to long-term billing services provided by a contracted collection agency. Accounts are reviewed for referral to collection agencies if, after 3 cycle bills, no payment is received. The account remains in pre-collect status for the first 30 days after assignment, during which time no collection activities are initiated by the agencies. Other bad debt accounts, including returned mail and lapsed payment arrangements, are also assigned to collection agencies. The collection agency assignment process generates the appropriate write-off to bad debt expense. Accounts for bankruptcies are written off to bad debt expense when a notice of bankruptcy filing is received. Justification for all bad debt write-offs is recorded in the patient's electronic billing record. Following is the footnote from the consolidated audited financial statement related to provision for uncollectible account: The Group provides an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts receivable whereby such receivables are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. The Group estimates this allowance based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical collection experience, enrollment retroactivity and other relevant factors. There are various factors that can impact the collection trends and the estimation process, such as changes in the economy, the increased burden of copays and deductibles to be made by enrollees and business practices related to collection efforts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was $12,622,000 and $6,353,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2, Needs Assessment:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Group Health Cooperative (Group Health) uses a number of methods to assess and meet the needs of the communities served. To develop the foundation for its community health initiative, Group Health performed a secondary data assessment in 2009. Using data from Washington State Local Health Departments and Districts (http://www.doh.wa.gov/LHJMap/LHJMAP.htm), United Way of King County's Community Assessment (http://www.uwkc.org/kcca/), and Seattle/King County's Community Health Indicators report (http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/data/chi2009.aspx) a localized assessment of the needs within our service area was compiled. Performing an analysis for each county Group Health serves, a clear understanding of key community indicators was obtained. In 2010, Group Health employed the Center for Community Health and Evaluation to interview 29 key community informants. Questions addressed unmet and/or unaddressed health needs of children and families, as well as perspectives on effective strategies that might involve Group Health and that have the potential for charting progress and success toward community health outcomes. These perspectives provided the guidance and direction necessary for Group Health's Community Health Initiative. The Initiative puts particular focus on providing community support tools to manage chronic disease and overweight/obesity in young adults and families through increased physical activity and improved nutrition. Group Health also 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 necessary 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.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Sched H, Part VI, Line 3, Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Group Health has two financial assistance programs which are administered as our Sponsored Care program. The Charity Care program is for patients seeking hospital services who have incomes at or below 200% FPL. The Health Care Assistance program is for enrollees or former 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 large posters at the main entrances of Group Health Hospital, as well as 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 26 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.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4, Community Information</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Communities we serve, including demographics: 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-related education and 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 2010, Group Health operated one hospital, 26 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, 19 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%; Other 3%. In 2010, Group Health and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Group Health Options, Inc. and KPS Health Plans, provided health care coverage and services to approximately 660,000 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, Group Health currently provides 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 are unable to access Group Health through the managed Medicaid program. Group Health's 2010 Medicaid enrollment averaged 20,000 of which 80% are children under the age of 19 years, with another 2,200 enrollees under Basic Health Plus. These enrollees are predominately the children of individuals covered under Basic Health. In addition, in 2010, Group Health served approximately 10,000 Basic Health members, largely low-income adults, in 5 counties across the state. While Group Health covers between 3-4% of the total Managed Medicaid population in Washington State, we have a much higher proportion of the population in two specific counties. In Kitsap County we have approximately 3,000 enrollees or 19% of the total Medicaid managed care population. In Spokane County we have 11,000 enrollees or 21% of the Medicaid managed care population. In addition, Group Health's Family Beginnings Unit (FBU) in Seattle provides labor and delivery and neonatal intensive care unit services to Medicaid patients through two different contracting models. The first contract model is through the Group Health Healthy Options Medicaid program enrollees, with Group Health physicians and nurse midwives delivering newborns. The second model consists of contracts with several community health clinics and federally qualified health centers to 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 addition to Medicaid patients, the Group Health FBU is one of a few birthing facilities in Seattle that allows certified nurse midwife birthing for all patients. Finally, the Group Health Teen Pregnancy and Parenting Clinic (TPPC) provides comprehensive Women Infants and Children (WIC) and other health care services to both Group Health and non-Group Health low-income teenagers and young adults.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>GHC conducts public-domain research through one of its divisions, the Group Health Research Institute (GHRI). Since its inception in 1983, GHRI investigators have published more than 2,000 scientific papers and have made major contributions in injury prevention, large scale interventions in smoking cessation, breast cancer screening, treatment of depression, the safety and efficacy of immunizations, osteoarthritis and joint disease, cancer, diabetes, mental health, and effective treatment of cardiovascular disease. Most recent research has focused on the improvements and cost-reductions of an advanced primary care medical home model. This research, particularly the latest research on advanced primary care, directly addresses the need for information and evidence on high performing health systems able to contain the escalating and unsustainable costs of care. These costs are certain to increase with the overall aging of the population as well as the increased demand of newly insured populations brought about by health reform. GHRI's comparative effectiveness research, in contrast to controlled experimental studies, directly addresses the care needs and efficacy of treatment models in populations served in widespread community practices. Group Health engages in a variety of health promotion activities. In addition to providing staff volunteers to support a wide range of activities and events, Group Health donated over $648,000 in 2010 for community building activities. These included supporting safety net organizations, such as Crisis Clinic, King County Project Access and Eldercare NW; promoting healthy active lifestyles, such as supporting the Cascade Bicycle Club, Major Taylor Program, and the YMCA; and educating the public about healthy choices, such as supporting programs at the Pacific Science Center, the Pride Foundation, and Washington Health Foundation. 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 through abuse and accidental poisoning. Last, Group Health's Board of Trustees serves as the governing board of Group Health's hospital. The Board is comprised of 11 trustees (10 of whom were independent in 2010), who are elected by Group Health's voting membership. The members of the board represent a cross-section of the community.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>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 eighteen. Group Health Cooperative has a wholly owned subsidiary, the Group Health Foundation, which is also a 501(c)(3) organization. The purpose of the Group Health Foundation is to improve the health of communities in partnership with Group Health Cooperative and Group Health Research Institute. Group Health Foundation invests in research related to health care innovation, quality outcomes and community partnerships and provides technical assistance and grants, as well as sponsoring specific programs, to promote children's health and fitness, preventive care and health education and diversity. Group Health Foundation is currently engaged in a multi-year program with organizational and school-based partners in communities across the state, to address the effects of parental hesitancy on low vaccination rates of Washington's children. This includes procuring and providing vaccines to children, as well as sponsoring social marketing and other activities to reduce parental hesitancy related to childhood vaccination. Group Health Cooperative has an exclusive contract with Group Health Permanente, P.C., a group practice with 1,400 salaried clinicians. Group Health Permanente is not under common governance or control with Group Health Cooperative, but the two organizations collaborate to serve the community. Both Group Health Cooperative and Group Health Permanente participate as faculty and preceptors for residency and health professionals training programs. In addition to the operation of a Family Practice Residency Program (for which Group Health Permanente physicians serve as faculty), Group Health Cooperative and Group Health Permanente participate in the training of over a dozen medical specialties and an additional 20+ mid-level and non-physician training programs, including those for critical shortage professions such as nursing, physical therapy and pharmacy. As an integrated care organization and one of the largest providers in Washington State, Group Health has innovative new approaches to care that contribute to Washington State having higher health care quality and lower costs than the national average. This has included being a national leader in the widespread adoption of electronic medical records, focus on prevention and a patient-centered medical home model of care. A peer-reviewed study of the medical home pilot showed improvements in health outcomes, patient experience and a decrease in medical costs of $10 per member per month. In 2010, Group Health expanded this model of enhanced primary care to 26 medical centers serving more that 400,000 people. In 2010, Group Health continued implementation of innovative approaches to reducing hospital readmission rates working in collaboration with seven hospitals across the state. In 2010, the program resulted in a 6.3 percent decrease Medicare admits and 3.3 percent decrease Medicare days; 6 percent decrease non-Medicare admits and 10 percent decrease non-Medicare days.

        <ReturnReference>Schedule J, Part I, Line 4A</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>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, 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. These benefits are forfeited if the executive violates the terms of the noncompetition, 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 calendary 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. Peter Morgan, EVP, Group Practice Division, Severance Payment of $327,318. Ernest Hood, VP, CIO, Severance Payment of $97,696. Jill Ostrem, VP, Consult spec &amp; AC Svcs, Severance Payment of $89,250.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Supplemental Nonqualified Retirement Plan</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>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). Participants who incur a separation from service prior to their vesting date are not eligible for plan distributions unless certain plan conditions are met. A participant remains eligible to participate until his or her account balance is either fully distributed or forfeited. Group Health made no SERP Plan contributions in 2010.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Group Health Cooperative has an organization-wide conflict of interest policy that covers trustees, officers, and employees. It also applies to certain independent contractors when they perform work on behalf of Group Health. The policy includes required disclosure procedures which are applied to all Group Health trustees and Group Health officers, including: - Providing a written declaration of any actual or potential areas of conflict of interest on an annual basis using forms and procedures developed by the chief compliance officer. These declarations are reviewed by the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees. - Subsequent reporting of material additions or changes to the information provided on the conflict of interest declarations. These additions or changes are reviewed by the Audit and Compliance Committee, following the process used for annual declarations. - At each Board meeting, disclosure by trustees of actual or potential conflicts of interest when such interests become a matter for Board action. Any trustee having an actual conflict of interest related to a matter at issue should not vote, take other action, or use his/her personal influence on the matter. Group Health officers, other employees, and certain independent contractors acting on behalf of Group Health shall disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest when such an interest is relevant to a matter in which they have a role, either directly or through subordinates acting at their direction. Certain high-level management positions and other positions involving transactions with outside parties are also subject to disclosure procedures. Individuals in these positions must complete an annual disclosure statement to identify any actual or potential areas of conflict of interest. During the year, these persons shall report material additions or changes to the information provided on annual conflict of interest declarations. Managers of persons not required under the policy to complete an annual disclosure are responsible for reviewing and responding to any potential conflicts of interest among their staff and for escalating issues as necessary to ensure they are addressed.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Organization's compensation setting process</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>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, the immediate Past Chair, and two 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 2010 offices and positions for which the above-described process was used to establish compensation for the persons who held these positions: President and Chief Executive Officer; Executive Vice President, Health Plan Division; Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer; Executive Vice President and General Counsel; Executive Vice President, Group Practice Division; Executive Vice President, Human Resources; Executive Vice President, Public Affairs and Governance; Vice President, Health Plan Administration; Vice President, Marketing; Vice President, Consultative Specialty and Acute Care Services; Vice President, Finance; Vice President, Sales; Vice President, Network Services and Care Management; Vice President Community Responsibility; Vice President, Primary Care Service; Vice President, Strategic Planning and Deployment; Vice President Clinical Excellence and Nursing; and Vice President, Chief Technology Officer. This process was followed in 2010 and was last followed in 2011 for establishing compensation for each of the above-listed positions.</Explanation>
