A portion of the compensation amount paid to officers of the filing entity is allocated internally among the filing entity and its 20 associated non-profit, tax-exempt entities in order to reflect the division of the officers' time and effort among those various entities and each entity's relative contribution to the officers' total compensation. (See Below). Compensation of the chief executive officer of the filing entity is reviewed and established at least biannually by the independent volunteer governing body of the Berkshire Health Systems, Inc., (the parent company of BHSMS) based on performance reviews and comparison to independently established, regionally appropriate benchmarks for similar positions in similarly sized healthcare organizations, as verified by independent, nationally recognized compensation consultants.
