Summary
Maryland's 1% increase in the HSCRC Public Payor Differential for hospital services has expired, meaning hospitals will no longer receive this additional reimbursement differential for public payer (Medicare/Medicaid) claims. This affects hospital billing and reimbursement rates in Maryland.
Action Required
Immediately: Maryland hospital billing teams must update their reimbursement rate calculations to remove the 1% HSCRC Public Payor Differential increase for Medicare and Medicaid claims. Review and adjust financial projections and rate schedules in billing systems to reflect the expired differential.
