Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia – Philadelphia County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Tobacco Settlement Program involves payments to hospitals for uncompensated care. The Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia was evaluated for potential eligibility for such payments. The evaluation focused on whether the facility reported extraordinary expense claims and the accuracy of inpatient and Medical Assistance days. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the facility did not submit documentation for extraordinary expense claims; hence, it is not eligible for payment under this method. However, inpatient and MA days reported matched source documents. The facility waived the opportunity to submit additional claims. The report details will aid the Department of Human Services in determining subsidy entitlement under the uncompensated care method once all evaluations are complete. If the necessary documentation is not adjusted in the PHC4 database, the facility may be deemed ineligible for payments. The cooperation of Jefferson Health staff was appreciated in this engagement.
