Summary of 2022 Maryland Value-Based Care Legislation
This legislation contains the strongest protections for the physician community for those physicians that chose to enter into these arrangements and for those that want to remain fee-for-service, including a provision that states that a carrier may not reduce the fee schedule of a physician who remains fee-for-service and does not participate in a two-sided incentive arrangement.  Click here for a chart illustrating the bill has initially put forth in December 2020 and the bill as passed by the committees.  It is anticipated that the legislation will move through the full General Assembly and that the Governor will sign it.
