Wellspan Gettysburg Hospital – Adams County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates payments to hospitals for uncompensated care. Wellspan Gettysburg Hospital underwent a review to verify claims data and the accuracy of their submitted inpatient and MA days for eligibility in the 2027 Tobacco Settlement Payment Year. The facility reported four extraordinary expense claims for FY ending June 30, 2025, all of which met the required criteria. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, there was a discrepancy in their reported total inpatient days. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) will use verified data to determine the hospital’s eligibility for payment under either the extraordinary expense or uncompensated care methods. The hospital has until October 31, 2026, to submit additional qualifying claims. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
