Frederick Memorial Hospital asks the state Health Services Cost Review Commission to approve a 9.9 percent average rate increase for hospital services to fund nurse salaries and higher overhead costs. The proposal would raise overnight room rates to 211 and ER base rate to 57, with other increases for pediatric care and costs. The commission withheld final action after a temporary 3 percent rise, with hearings expected in May and a decision due in about two months.
