Lansdale Hospital – Montgomery County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

Lansdale Hospital’s eligibility for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement payments was evaluated through a review of uncompensated care and extraordinary expense claims as mandated by the Tobacco Settlement Act. The hospital used two methods: uncompensated care, based on a score from averages of key data elements, and extraordinary expense, based on claims that exceed double the facility’s average claim cost. For fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the facility reported four potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims; two were verified. Errors in Lansdale’s reported inpatient days for FY23 were noted, and necessary adjustments were communicated for accuracy in the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) Database. PHC4 will manage the verification process, and DHS will allocate payments to eligible hospitals. This engagement ensures claims align with eligibility criteria, facilitating Lansdale Hospital’s access to tobacco settlement funds, subject to timely submission of additional claims by October 31, 2025.
