Riddle Memorial Hospital – Delaware County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The document is a communication related to the Tobacco Settlement Act payments for Riddle Memorial Hospital, directed to Ms. Leigh Ehrlich of Main Line Health System. It outlines the procedures for assessing the hospital’s eligibility for payments for uncompensated care, based on data from fiscal years ending in 2024 and 2023. The analysis involved verifying potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims and confirming the accuracy of total inpatient and Medical Assistance days reported. Out of nine claims reviewed, four qualified for extraordinary expense claims. The hospital must amend non-qualifying claims in the PHC4 database and the MA-336 Cost Report. These steps ensure eligibility under the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payment Year. DHS will calculate subsidy entitlements based on verified reports, allowing qualifying hospitals to choose their payment calculation method. Facilities can also submit additional claims deemed self-pay by October 31, 2025. In conclusion, the communication assists with the hospital’s compliance and potential eligibility for settlement funds. This is an automated summary.
