About This Audit

Belmont Behavioral Hospital was audited to assess eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement Payment, based on criteria from the Tobacco Settlement Act mandating the Department of Human Services to compensate hospitals for uncompensated care. The hospital was evaluated for both uncompensated care and extraordinary expenses methodologies. Findings indicated the hospital had no eligible extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, making it ineligible for payments under this method unless new eligible claims are submitted by October 31, 2026. Verification confirmed submitted inpatient and MA days data. The facility is advised to adjust its PHC4 claim submissions accordingly to maintain eligibility. This is an automated summary.
