Geisinger Lewistown Hospital – Mifflin County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Geisinger Lewistown Hospital undertook a review process as mandated by the Tobacco Settlement Act of 2001 to determine eligibility for payments to cover uncompensated care services. This process involved evaluating claims for extraordinary expenses by ensuring they met specific criteria, such as costs incurred from treating uninsured patients. Only two of the nine reported claims qualified under the extraordinary expense criteria, making Geisinger Lewistown potentially eligible for 2027 payments. Additionally, discrepancies in reported inpatient and Medical Assistance days were identified and need adjustment. To ensure accurate eligibility determination, necessary corrections must be submitted to the PHC4 database and DHS systems. This is an automated summary.
