About This Audit

Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital participated in the Tobacco Settlement Program to potentially receive funds for uncompensated healthcare services. The hospital’s eligibility for payment under the extraordinary expense method was assessed by verifying reported claims and inpatient days data. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the hospital reported one potentially eligible extraordinary claim, but it did not qualify since the expenses were paid by the patient. All inpatient and medical assistance days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, were substantiated with no discrepancies found. The hospital may submit new or additional claims by October 31, 2025, for potential re-evaluation. DHS will use verified data to determine the hospital’s eligibility for 2026 payments, and if eligible, the hospital can choose its calculation method. All findings and procedures will be compiled into a report for the Department of Human Services.
