About This Audit
The Allegheny Health Network, overseeing Alle-Kiski Medical Center, was evaluated for eligibility for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement payments, based on the Tobacco Settlement Act of 2001. This act allows qualifying hospitals to receive payments for uncompensated care through uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approaches. The audit aimed to verify Alle-Kiski’s reported claims and total inpatient days for eligibility under these criteria. Alle-Kiski reported no eligible extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year 2024, making it ineligible for that payment method. For the fiscal year 2023, minor differences in reported and substantiated inpatient days were noted due to reporting errors. The facility did not submit additional claims by the required October 31, 2025, deadline. The report results will aid in determining future settlement subsidies, allowing eligible facilities to choose their preferred calculation method. This is an automated summary.
