FMH Rates Slashed by Almost Three Percent
Frederick Memorial Hospital faces a near 3 percent rate cut as Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission trims hospital rates statewide. The 2.93 percent rollback, lower than the proposed 3.86 percent, comes as costs at FMH rose more than 10 percent in the past two years. Hospital officials warn the cut could hinder capital investments while highlighting Maryland’s historically low costs and shift toward outpatient care.
