Titusville Hospital – Crawford County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Tobacco Settlement Program mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to make payments to hospitals, like Titusville Hospital, for uncompensated care services. Hospitals can qualify using either an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approach. DHS requested a review of Titusville Hospital’s claims data to determine eligibility for payments. For fiscal year 2024, Titusville did not have any potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims and, therefore, is not eligible for payment under this method for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement unless additional claims are submitted and deemed eligible. The facility met criteria for reporting total inpatient and MA days. Adjustments to initial claims and MA-336 Cost Reports should be timely to ensure eligibility. DHS will allow qualifying hospitals to choose the calculation method for 2026 payments. Additional claims can be submitted until October 31, 2025. This is an automated summary.
