St. Mary Rehabilitation Hospital – Bucks County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Tobacco Settlement Program, governed by the 2001 Tobacco Settlement Act, mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide payments to hospitals covering part of uncompensated care services. Hospitals like St. Mary Rehabilitation Hospital can be eligible for payments based on uncompensated care scores or extraordinary expense claims. The uncompensated care score considers several data elements over three years, while extraordinary expenses pertain to costly uninsured patient claims. For fiscal year 2024, St. Mary Hospital did not have eligible extraordinary expense claims and is not currently eligible for related payments unless new eligible claims are submitted. The hospital’s reported inpatient and medical assistance days for fiscal year 2023 were verified accurate. Adjustments and submissions of any additional claims must be completed to ensure eligibility under the Tobacco Settlement for the 2026 payment year. This procedure ensures accurate records for subsidy entitlement calculations. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
