Bryn Mawr Hospital – Montgomery County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

Bryn Mawr Hospital is eligible for payments under the Tobacco Settlement Act by achieving a qualifying percentage of extraordinary expense claims for uncompensated care in the 2027 payment year. Of the 21 potential extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, 13 met the criteria. Claims qualified if inpatient services were provided to uninsured patients without compensation from third-party payers, and costs exceeded twice the facility’s average inpatient claim costs. Errors in reporting inpatient and Medical Assistance days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, were identified, needing corrections in the PHC4 database. Facilities have until October 31, 2026, to submit additional claims for reconsideration. The facility can choose between extraordinary expense and uncompensated care methods for calculating settlement payments once eligibility is determined by DHS, which will also announce payment distributions. The audit aimed to verify claims for achieving compliance and accuracy. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
