About This Audit
The letter addressed to Mr. Paul Kane, CFO of Eagleville Hospital, discusses the procedures and results regarding the hospital’s eligibility for Tobacco Settlement payments in 2027. Under the Tobacco Settlement Act, payments can be made for uncompensated care services, using either an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approach. The report finds that none of Eagleville’s four claims qualified as extraordinary expense claims, disqualifying them for payment under this method. The hospital’s inpatient and MA (Medical Assistance) days data were confirmed accurate; however, claims paid by insurance disqualified related claims. DHS will use this verified data to assess the facility’s eligibility for subsidy entitlements, and the hospital can submit additional claims by October 31, 2026. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
