About This Audit
The Department of Human Services (DHS) audits hospitals, including UPMC Greene, to determine eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement Payment. DHS uses two methods to evaluate claims: the uncompensated care approach and the extraordinary expense approach, which UPMC Greene did not qualify for as of the fiscal year ending June 2025. The facility can still submit additional claims by October 31, 2026, for potential eligibility. UPMC Greene must also verify and adjust claims data and days reported to ensure database accuracy. The results of these assessments determine the eligibility and method of payment for the Tobacco Settlement subsidy entitlement. The report is publicly available and distributed to various DHS and UPMC Greene officials. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
