About This Audit
The Fulton County Medical Center’s (FCMC) eligibility for the Tobacco Settlement Payment in 2027 was evaluated based on claims for uncompensated care and extraordinary expenses. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) determined that FCMC did not have eligible extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. However, FCMC can submit additional claims for reconsideration. The evaluation also reviewed total inpatient and Medical Assistance (MA) days, revealing discrepancies due to reporting errors. Adjustments and corrections must be made in the PHC4 database and the MA-336 Cost Report. The review results aid DHS in determining FCMC’s entitlement. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
