Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center – Luzerne County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center’s assessment under the Tobacco Settlement Act of 2001 identified potential eligibility for payments covering uncompensated care services. The center relies on uncompensated care and extraordinary expense approaches, requiring verification of claims and inpatient service data. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the facility reported 12 potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims; seven were verified as meeting the criteria. Discrepancies were identified in days data reports, requiring adjustments in the PHC4 database and the MA-336 cost report. Facilities must remove unqualified claims or risk ineligibility for subsidy entitlements. Additional claims considered self-pay must be submitted by October 31, 2026. The facility’s choice in calculating its 2027 subsidy is contingent upon eligibility under uncompensated care or extraordinary expense methods. This is an automated summary.
