About This Audit

The Tobacco Settlement Act mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide payments to hospitals like Titusville Hospital for uncompensated care services. These payments are determined using either an uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approach, with criteria based on uncompensated care costs, patient revenues, and other data elements. A recent procedure evaluated Titusville Hospital’s eligibility for the 2027 payment, confirming that it did not meet criteria for extraordinary expense claims, and verified its reported inpatient and MA days for accuracy. DHS will calculate eligibility for subsidies under both methods, allowing eligible hospitals to select the preferred method. Titusville may submit additional claims by October 31, 2026, for reconsideration. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
