About This Audit
The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates payments to hospitals for uncompensated care. This audit reviewed Lankenau Medical Center’s eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement Payment. Of 24 reported extraordinary expense claims, 11 qualified based on set criteria. The audit also verifies inpatient and MA days for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, noting necessary adjustments. The facility must remove ineligible claims, and DHS will use verified data to calculate subsidy entitlements. Eligible hospitals will choose between uncompensated care and extraordinary expense methods for payment. Additional claims should be submitted by October 31, 2026. This is an automated summary.
