Pennsylvania Hospital – Philadelphia County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Pennsylvania Hospital was audited under the Tobacco Settlement Act for potential payment due to uncompensated care services. Hospitals qualify for payments through either an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approach. In fiscal year 2025, 54 potentially qualifying claims were reported but Pennsylvania Hospital did not submit the necessary documentation to confirm eligibility, making them ineligible for payment under the extraordinary expense method. The facility’s inpatient days and Medicaid Assistance days were verified accurately for fiscal year 2024. The Department of Human Services will use revised cost reports to determine eligibility under the uncompensated care method. Pennsylvania Hospital’s failure to provide required documents forfeits any extraordinary expense claim payments and the opportunity to submit additional claims under the fiscal year ending June 2025.
