The compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the performance and compensation of the CEO, assessing the appropriateness and reasonableness of the executive compensation and benefit programs, and monitoring compensation programs with senior executives and physicians to confirm compliance with regulations and business need. The committee reviews all proposed compensation for senior executives and physicians, including the CEO. All compensation submitted for review must be supported by appropriate documentation, including, but not limited to, comparability data (I.E., Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)) relevant for the occupation and corporation position. This data is compared to similarly situated AAMC organizations of comparable revenue. The executive compensation data is provided by an independent compensation consulting firm hired by the committee, and this firm reports directly to the committee. The committee ensures that its review and approval qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the intermediate sanction's regulations (26 C.F.R. 53.4958-6, as amended). To ensure such compliance, the committee: 1. Ensures committee members are free from any relationships or conflicts of interest that may impair, or appear to impair, a committee member's ability to make independent judgements; 2. Receives and relies upon appropriate data as to comparability from internal or external resources prior to making its determination; and 3. Documents the basis for its determination of reasonableness concurrently with making that determination. Such documentation includes: A) The terms of the arrangement that was approved and the date it was approved; B) The members of the committee who were present and those who voted on it (quorum is required for any approval); C) The comparability data obtained and relied upon by the committee and how such material was obtained; and D) The action(s) taken by the committee. All compensation and benefits for the CEO are reviewed and recommended by the committee to the Board of Directors for final approval.
