Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center – Cambria County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center conducted a review of claims in relation to receiving funding under the Tobacco Settlement Act for uncompensated care services. The review sought to verify the eligibility of claims based on uncompensated care or extraordinary expenses for uninsured patients. The procedures determined that among 102 reported claims, only 10 qualified as extraordinary expense claims, potentially allowing the facility to receive payment for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payment Year. Most claims were disqualified due to being covered by insurance or other payers. As a result, necessary adjustments were recommended to remove these claims from the self-pay listing. This assessment ensures that only valid claims are considered under the extraordinary expense approach, thus managing the allocation of funds appropriately. This is an automated summary.
