A powerful commission tasked with constraining Maryland’s hospital rates is set to have a busy year. At a commission meeting Wednesday, the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) laid out its proposed policy and voting schedule for 2024 into 2025, and outlined its legislative priorities for the current legislative session. Among the commission’s priorities for the months ahead include tackling long emergency room wait times, participating in a new federal health care program and adjusting rates or reimbursement for care at Maryland’s hospitals.
