Phoenixville Hospital – Chester County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

Phoenixville Hospital participated in the Tobacco Settlement Program, which compensates hospitals for uncompensated care services. The hospital may qualify for payments using either the uncompensated care approach, which involves multiple data elements, or the extraordinary expense approach, reserved for claims greatly exceeding average costs. Procedures were established to verify the eligibility and accuracy of claims from Phoenixville Hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. All six extraordinary expense claims were verified as qualifying under this method, potentially making the hospital eligible for payment in 2027. Additionally, inpatient and Medical Assistance days reported for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, were substantiated without discrepancies. DHS will use verified data to determine the hospital’s subsidy entitlement. Phoenixville Hospital can submit additional claims before October 31, 2026, for potential inclusion.
