About This Audit
The Tobacco Settlement Act enables hospitals to receive funds for uncompensated care through two approaches: an uncompensated care score or extraordinary expenses for uninsured inpatient service claims. Following departmental requests, specific procedures were developed to determine eligible claims at UPMC Magee Womens Hospital for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payment. For fiscal year 2024 claims, only 15 of 57 claims met the criteria for extraordinary expense eligibility, and necessary adjustments were identified for claims incorrectly marked as self-pay. Regarding inpatient and MA days for fiscal year 2023, all figures were substantiated except for a minor reporting error in FFS Days. UPMC Magee Womens Hospital is potentially eligible for payments for extraordinary expenses identified. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
