About This Audit

The Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital’s eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement payments was assessed, focusing on uncompensated and extraordinary expense claims as mandated by the Tobacco Settlement Act. The hospital did not submit documentation for extraordinary claims despite reporting potentially eligible ones totaling $2,016,962.80 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. This choice disqualified them from extraordinary expense payments, defaulting their eligibility to the uncompensated care calculation method. The facility’s reported days for MA and inpatient services were substantiated without discrepancies for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Adjustments to the facility’s claims and data are recommended for accuracy, and the report will contribute to a comprehensive subsidy entitlement evaluation. The hospital’s lack of claims documentation submission precludes additional claims review above the hospital’s threshold. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
