About This Audit
The Tobacco Settlement Program allows payments to hospitals for uncompensated care. Bryn Mawr Hospital submitted claims under this program for extraordinary expenses and received an evaluation of their eligibility for the 2026 payment year. Out of 16 potentially eligible claims reported by the hospital, 10 were confirmed to qualify based on audit procedures, meaning Bryn Mawr may be eligible for payment. The audit also substantiated the hospital’s reported inpatient and Medical Assistance (MA) days, which contribute to their claim for compensation. This process ensures that only valid claims are considered, with necessary adjustments to be addressed by the hospital. Adjustments might impact future payment calculations, with further instructions to follow. The final eligibility and payment will be determined by the Department of Human Services, with the opportunity for the hospital to select the method used to calculate their entitlement.
