Bradford Regional Medical Center – McKean County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to compensate hospitals for uncompensated care services. Bradford Regional Medical Center was reviewed to determine eligibility for such compensation. Two approaches exist: the uncompensated care approach and the extraordinary expense approach. The review process involved verifying claims data and inpatient days to ensure compliance. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, Bradford reported one extraordinary expense claim that met the qualifying criteria. Consequently, the facility may receive a settlement payment for 2027. This comprehensive procedure ensures accuracy in DHS’s settlement distribution, ultimately aiding hospitals in managing uncompensated care. This is an automated summary.
