Maryland HB971 establishes a workgroup to study the adoption of a fee-for-service model for all Medicaid services.

Maryland HB971 creates a Workgroup to Study the Adoption of a Fee-for-Service Model for All Medicaid Services. The Workgroup will study the feasibility of implementing a direct care payment model throughout the State’s Medicaid program. The Workgroup will review the State’s experience using fee-for-service instead of managed care organizations, examine other states that have implemented a fee-for-service model, and review evidence-based studies on the benefits of such a model. The Workgroup will also propose a potential timeline for the State’s transition to a direct payment model.
