About This Audit
The Jefferson Lansdale Hospital has been assessed for the eligibility of receiving payments under Pennsylvania’s Tobacco Settlement Act. This act mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to compensate hospitals for uncompensated care services using two approaches: uncompensated care and extraordinary expenses. The hospital’s potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, were verified as meeting all necessary criteria. The results showed adjustments were needed for inaccurately reported inpatient and Medical Assistance days. Facilities must correct any discrepancies in their data submissions, as inaccurate records may lead to ineligibility for settlement payments. Jefferson Lansdale Hospital’s data will help DHS calculate its subsidy entitlement. The hospital can opt for the approach that maximizes its settlement payment. The report suggests action plans for future claims submission and data accuracy, ensuring proper allocation of the tobacco settlement funds. This is an automated summary.
