Guthrie Troy Community Hospital – Bradford County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Tobacco Settlement Program requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to allocate payments to hospitals for uncompensated care. Guthrie Troy Community Hospital underwent an assessment to verify reported claims and days data for possible eligibility under this program. The investigation revealed no eligible extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year ending June 2025, making the hospital ineligible for payment under this approach unless additional eligible claims are submitted by October 31, 2026. DSM will use verified data to determine eligibility for subsidy payments under various methods. If eligible, the hospital could select between the uncompensated care or extraordinary expense methods for calculating its 2027 payment. Procedures determined discrepancies in reported total inpatient days against substantiated numbers due to reporting errors. This is an automated summary.
