UPMC McKeesport – Allegheny County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data Year 2027

The UPMC McKeesport engaged in a review under the Tobacco Settlement Act, which provides funding for uncompensated care services. The process involves determining eligible claims through uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approaches. In the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, UPMC McKeesport reported three extraordinary expense claims, of which two qualified for potential settlement payments. The report also verified the hospital’s inpatient and Medical Assistance days for accuracy. Failure to adjust claims correctly may lead to ineligibility for payments. The audited results are shared with relevant parties and will influence the hospital’s eligibility for the 2027 Tobacco Settlement subsidy. Eligible hospitals can choose between two methods for subsidy calculation, and payments are scheduled by the Department of Human Services. UPMC McKeesport is reminded to submit any additional qualifying self-pay claims by October 31, 2026. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
