The document outlines the procedures and results concerning UPMC Wellsboro’s eligibility for payments under the Tobacco Settlement Act, focusing on uncompensated care and extraordinary expense claims for fiscal years ending June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. The engagement verified that Wellsboro reported one eligible extraordinary expense claim and confirmed its total inpatient days and Medical Assistance days accurately. Discrepancies in reported data were negligible, with only slight adjustments needed, and Wellsboro is instructed to submit potential additional claims by October 31, 2025. Post-engagement, DHS will utilize verified data to determine Wellsboro’s subsidy entitlement for 2026, offering the option to choose the calculation method. This is an automated summary.
