Regional Hospital of Scranton – Lackawanna County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Regional Hospital of Scranton was reviewed under Pennsylvania’s Tobacco Settlement Act to determine its eligibility for payments for uncompensated care. The audit is based on extraordinary expense claims and uncompensated care scores using data such as uncompensated care costs, net patient revenues, and inpatient days. In the fiscal year ending June 2025, the hospital reported eight extraordinary expense claims, of which four qualified. For the fiscal year ending June 2024, the reported inpatient days and MA days were confirmed as accurate. Unapproved claims must be corrected to avoid issues with eligibility for payments. The hospital can choose between extraordinary expense and uncompensated care methods if eligible for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement subsidy entitlement payment. Additionally, the hospital should submit any qualifying claims by October 31, 2026. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
