Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute – Dauphin County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute underwent a review for potential eligibility for 2027 payments under the Tobacco Settlement Act. The Department of Human Services (DHS) evaluated uncompensated care services provided by hospitals, with eligibility based on criteria like uncompensated care scores and extraordinary expenses. The review found that seven out of eight reported claims met the extraordinary expense criteria and recommended adjustments to the PHC4 Database for accuracy. Inaccurate claims or unadjusted records could lead to ineligibility for payments under extraordinary expenses. DHS will use verified claims and reports to determine subsidy entitlements, allowing eligible facilities to choose between different calculation methods. The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute can submit additional claims by October 31, 2026. DHS will distribute subsidy payments to eligible hospitals based on these evaluations.
