The Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) is an independent agency, charged with regulating hospital rates for all payors in Maryland. The goals of the Commission are:
- Constrain hospital cost growth
- Ensure that hospitals have the financial ability to provide efficient, high quality services to all Marylanders
- Increase the equity or fairness of hospital financing
The seven (7) members of the Commission are volunteers and are appointed by the Governor. Each member serves 4 year terms. They come from a variety of healthcare backgrounds, representing consumers, payors, providers and hospital administrators, appointed to serve the "public interest".
