John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine – Luzerne County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine was evaluated for eligibility under Pennsylvania’s Tobacco Settlement Act for payments related to uncompensated care services. Facilities can qualify for these payments through either an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approach. The extraordinary expense approach requires claims for uninsured patients to exceed twice the average inpatient claim cost. The facility was found ineligible for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, as there were no extraordinary expense claims meeting the criteria. However, corrections were needed for reported inpatient and Medical Assistance days, which will impact eligibility and adjustments in the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council database.
