UPMC Washington – Washington County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

UPMC Washington’s engagement process was conducted to determine eligibility for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payments, as mandated by the Tobacco Settlement Act of 2001. This involved reviewing unpaid care services data and extraordinary expense claims made by UPMC Washington to DHS. UPMC used a combination of uncompensated care scores and extraordinary expense methods to qualify for the payment. Among eight reported claims for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, six qualified as extraordinary expenses, potentially entitling the facility to payment. For total inpatient and MA days reported for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, data accuracy was verified. Unqualified claims should be adjusted to avoid ineligibility.
