Summary
Maryland adopted amendments to nurse practitioner regulations under COMAR 10.09.01, removing the word 'medical' from practice definitions and eliminating hospital privilege restrictions that limited nurse practitioners to specific service areas. These are definitional and language clarifications only.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing teams. This is a regulatory clarification that removes restrictive language about nurse practitioner practice definitions and hospital privileges in Maryland. The changes are nonsubstantive and do not affect billing codes or reimbursement procedures.
