About This Audit

The Wellspan Good Samaritan Hospital’s eligibility for Tobacco Settlement payments for the fiscal year 2026 was assessed based on uncompensated care and extraordinary expense claims. DHS reviewed submitted claims for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, determining that 8 out of 13 claims met criteria for extraordinary expenses. Inpatient days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, were substantiated without discrepancies. Hospitals need to correct claims in the PHC4 database that don’t meet guidelines to avoid ineligibility. Additional eligible self-pay claims can be submitted by October 31, 2025. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
