Wellspan Philhaven Hospital – Lebanon County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for Year 2026

The Wellspan Philhaven Hospital’s eligibility for receiving payments from the Tobacco Settlement Program was evaluated by reviewing claims and days data submitted to the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council and the Department of Human Services (DHS). The review aimed to verify extraordinary expense claims and total inpatient days for the fiscal year ending June 2024. Only one extraordinary expense claim was initially reported, but it did not qualify due to patient payment; therefore, the hospital is not eligible for the extraordinary expense payment method for 2026 unless additional eligible claims are submitted by October 31, 2025. Total inpatient days and Medicaid days reported for the fiscal year ending June 2023 were verified with no discrepancies. DHS will use verified data to determine payment eligibility for hospitals at a later distribution date. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
