Abstract

Pursuant to SB 481 (Chapter 464 of the Acts of 2002), the Maryland Department of Health (the Department) created an annual process to set the fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement rates for Maryland Medicaid and the Maryland Children’s Health Program (MCHP) in a manner that ensures provider participation. The law directs the Department to submit an annual report to the Governor and various House and Senate committees addressing the progress of the rate-setting process; a comparison of Maryland Medicaid’s reimbursement rates with those of other states; the schedule for adjusting Maryland’s reimbursement rates; and the estimated costs of implementing the above schedule and proposed changes to the FFS reimbursement rates. This is the Department’s annual report dated June 2019.
