About This Audit

Einstein Medical Center Montgomery was evaluated for its eligibility to receive payments under the Tobacco Settlement Act for uncompensated care services. The Department of Human Services (DHS) examined whether the facility’s claims met the criteria of extraordinary expenses, which involve claims where costs surpass twice the average claim cost. The facility reported four potential extraordinary claims totaling $671,637.74 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, but didn’t provide required documentation. Consequently, it remained ineligible for extraordinary expense payments and continued under the uncompensated care calculation method. The validity of inpatient and medical assistance days reported for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, was confirmed, with no discrepancies found. DHS will use these reports to inform subsidy decisions under the Tobacco Settlement Program. The facility’s failure to submit pertinent documentation restricts the eligibility for extraordinary expense claims for that fiscal year. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
