St. Luke’s Hospital Carbon – Carbon County – Amended Financial Report for the Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023

An amended financial report for St. Luke’s Hospital Carbon, covering July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, was prepared by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania. The report’s purpose is to verify the submitted costs to set the Medical Assistance reimbursement rate for the facility. Adjustments to the facility’s MA-336 Cost Report included aligning paid MA days, MA charges, and discharges with data from the DHS’s PROMISe™ system. Other reclassifications adjusted costs related to medical supplies, physician offices, and employee benefits, ensuring consistency with the facility’s Medicare Cost Report. The evaluations concluded that the paid MA charges were reliable, but the paid MA days and discharges data had undetermined reliability. The report is exclusively for use by the DHS.
