About This Audit

The Southwood Psychiatric Hospital underwent evaluation as part of the Tobacco Settlement Program for potential payments related to uncompensated care. According to the PHC4 claims database for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the facility had no eligible extraordinary expenses, disqualifying it from 2027 payments unless new claims are submitted and verified. The process also confirmed that the reported inpatient and MA days for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, were accurate. Additional claims believed to qualify under the self-pay category for fiscal year 2025 must be submitted by October 31, 2026, for reevaluation. DHS will determine eligibility and payment distribution after verifying PHC4 and revised MA-336 data. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
