Temple Health – Chestnut Hill Hospital – Philadelphia County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

Temple Health – Chestnut Hill Hospital participated in the Tobacco Settlement Program, which compensates hospitals for uncompensated care via the Department of Human Services (DHS). The facility was evaluated for its eligibility for the 2026 settlement payments through two approaches: uncompensated care and extraordinary expense. The review determined that the hospital had four eligible extraordinary expense claims, qualifying it for potential settlement payments. Moreover, inpatient and Medical Assistance (MA) days matched the submitted reports, indicating accurate data reporting. The hospital must adjust its claims in the PHC4 database to avoid ineligibility for payments. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
