Valley Forge Medical Center – Montgomery County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Valley Forge Medical Center is subject to the Tobacco Settlement Program, which mandates payments for uncompensated care under the Tobacco Settlement Act. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, Valley Forge did not register any eligible extraordinary expense claims. Procedures were executed to verify data accuracy regarding days and claims from the facility, with results showing no discrepancies in reported inpatient days. The facility must submit additional claims by October 31, 2025, if they believe any exceed their allowed threshold for self-pay claims. DHS will use revised data to determine the eligibility for subsidy payments in 2026, allowing the facility to choose between uncompensated care and extraordinary expense methods if qualified. The report was distributed to key DHS and Budget Office officials and is publicly accessible. There is no eligibility for an extraordinary expense payment this year unless more qualifying claims are submitted. This is an automated summary.
