Suburban Community Hospital – Montgomery County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates payments to hospitals for uncompensated care through two approaches: uncompensated care and extraordinary expense. Suburban Community Hospital reported one potentially eligible extraordinary expense claim for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, which qualified as extraordinary under the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payment Year. Additionally, the report confirmed total inpatient and MA days for FY ending June 30, 2023, with minor discrepancies due to reporting errors. DHS will use this data to calculate each facility’s subsidy entitlement under both methods. Hospitals can choose the most beneficial method if they qualify for both. Adjustments to submitted claims and facility reports must be made to ensure accuracy and eligibility for payments. This is an automated summary.
