About This Audit

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) conducted a review of Wellspan Chambersburg Hospital’s eligibility for the 2026 Tobacco Settlement Payments for uncompensated care services. The hospital reported 12 potentially eligible extraordinary expense claims for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. DHS determined that eight of these claims meet the criteria under the extraordinary expense method, making the hospital eligible for payments. Additionally, the DHS validated reported inpatient and Medical Assistance (MA) days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Adjustments and submission of additional claims are necessary for the hospital to qualify for subsidies. This engagement ensures the hospital’s data accuracy in the PHC4 database and validates the eligibility for Tobacco Settlement subsidies for uncompensated care services. This is an automated summary.
