Uniontown Hospital – Fayette County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Tobacco Settlement Program, under the Tobacco Settlement Act, mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide payments to hospitals for uncompensated care services. These payments can be determined through an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense method. A recent engagement reviewed Uniontown Hospital’s eligibility for such payments. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, Uniontown Hospital did not have eligible extraordinary expense claims and thus may not qualify under this method unless new claims are submitted and eligibility confirmed. DHS will use verified data to calculate the hospital’s eligibility for a 2026 subsidy. Facilities have until October 31, 2025, to submit further qualifying claims. The report was distributed among various stakeholders and is publicly accessible. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
