Baltimore Metro

Baltimore is one of the most distinguished academic medical center markets in the nation, home to Johns Hopkins Medicine, University of Maryland Medical System, MedStar Health, and Mercy Medical Center. Maryland's unique all-payer rate-setting system through the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) creates a fundamentally different billing environment than any other state.

The HSCRC sets hospital rates for all payers including Medicare, meaning Maryland's hospital billing rules differ substantially from CMS's national prospective payment system.

Key specialties in demand: Oncology, neurology, cardiology, transplant medicine, psychiatry, infectious disease

DC Suburbs: Montgomery & Prince George's Counties

Maryland's DC suburbs are among the most affluent and well-insured healthcare markets in the country, with a large federal workforce covered by FEHB plans. MedStar Health, Adventist HealthCare, and Holy Cross Health serve a diverse, multilingual population that frequently crosses into DC and Virginia for care.

Multi-jurisdictional billing with DC and Virginia plans is common, and the high concentration of federal employees requires expertise in FEHB plan billing and TRICARE processing.

Key specialties in demand: Primary care, dermatology, OB/GYN, orthopedics, psychiatry

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Billing in Maryland

How does Maryland's unique all-payer rate-setting system affect medical billing?

Maryland is the only state with an all-payer rate-setting system, managed by the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC). The HSCRC sets hospital rates that apply to all payers, including Medicare, meaning Maryland hospitals receive the same rates regardless of the payer. Medtransic understands the unique dynamics of Maryland's regulated rate environment and helps practices optimize billing within this distinctive framework.

How does Maryland Medicaid (HealthChoice) managed care billing work?

Maryland HealthChoice is the state's Medicaid managed care program, operating through MCOs including Amerigroup, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Community Health Plan, Kaiser Permanente, MedStar Family Choice, Molina Healthcare, Priority Partners, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each MCO has specific authorization requirements and claims processes. Medtransic maintains expertise in every HealthChoice MCO to maximize reimbursement for our Maryland providers.

What is Maryland's surprise billing law and how does it affect practices?

Maryland's surprise billing protections under HB 1122 prohibit out-of-network providers from balance-billing patients for emergency services and establish a dispute resolution process. The law requires insurers to pay reasonable out-of-network rates when patients are protected. Medtransic applies Maryland's surprise billing rules to all applicable claims and navigates the dispute resolution process for our providers.

How does Johns Hopkins' market influence affect billing in Maryland?

Johns Hopkins Medicine's global reputation and large employed physician network influence payer contract benchmarks and referral patterns throughout the Baltimore metro area. Independent practices often compete against Hopkins-affiliated providers for payer contracts and patient referrals. Medtransic helps Maryland independent practices negotiate competitive rates and optimize their revenue cycle to maintain viability alongside this dominant health system.

What are the timely filing deadlines for Maryland insurance claims?

Maryland commercial payer timely filing deadlines vary from 90 to 365 days by contract, with CareFirst BCBS typically requiring 180 days for participating providers. Medicare requires filing within 12 months, and HealthChoice MCOs generally require submission within 180 days. Medtransic submits clean claims within 24-48 hours to ensure no Maryland revenue is lost to missed filing deadlines.

How much do medical billing services cost in Maryland?

Medical billing outsourcing for Maryland practices typically ranges from 4-8% of monthly collections, depending on practice size, specialty, and claim volume. Medtransic offers transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Most Maryland practices see a net revenue increase after partnering with us because of reduced denials and faster collections.
