UPMC Lititz – Lancaster County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The report outlines the procedures performed to verify UPMC Lititz’s eligibility for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement payments, aimed at reimbursing uncompensated care. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services required the verification of extraordinary expense claims and total inpatient days reported by the facility. Of the 24 claims evaluated, five met the criteria as extraordinary expenses. Adjustments are necessary for claims incorrectly classified as self-pay due to payments by patients or insurers. The facility must update its data to ensure eligibility for the subsidy. Additionally, there was a reporting error for inpatient days, necessitating correction. The report details specific steps UPMC Lititz needs to take, such as updating the PHC4 database and submitting revised data through the iPACRs system. This is crucial for determining and receiving their Tobacco Settlement subsidy, provided they meet eligibility requirements. The collaboration with UPMC staff during this process was appreciated.
