Wellspan Waynesboro Hospital – Franklin County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The report outlines the procedures and outcomes related to the Tobacco Settlement Act for Wellspan Waynesboro Hospital. The Department of Human Services (DHS) conducted an evaluation to determine the hospital’s eligibility for payments based on uncompensated care and extraordinary expense approaches. By reviewing three-year averages of data elements such as uncompensated care costs and patient days, it was determined that the hospital had no eligible extraordinary expense claims for the 2026 payment year. The hospital’s inpatient and MA days data were accurately reported. Hospitals must correct claims inaccurately submitted to the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council database to qualify for potential subsidies. DHS will continue evaluating all hospitals to conclude subsidy entitlements. Hospitals can submit additional claims by October 31, 2025. This is an automated summary.
