Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital – Clinton County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates payments to hospitals for uncompensated care services. Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital’s eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement Payment was reviewed. The claims submitted did not meet the criteria for extraordinary expense claims, making the hospital ineligible for payments under that method unless additional claims are submitted and approved. For reported claims, a potential extraordinary expense claim was disqualified because it was covered by Medical Assistance. Inpatient days and Medical Assistance days were verified as accurately reported for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Hospitals have the option to submit additional claims by October 31, 2026.
