Frederick Memorial Hospital seeks a 99 percent rate increase which the Nevith Services Cost Review Commission calls higher than appropriate. The commission staff proposed a 1.5 percent increase plus 2 percent for anticipated new services, separate from a 3 percent inflation adjustment approved earlier. A decision is expected in a month or so, with potential impact on hospital revenue and patient charges.
