The Maryland Health Care Commission collects annual data from hospice agencies to support health planning, assess industry performance, and maintain the MHCC Quality Reporting website.
The reporting requirements of the annual Maryland Hospice Survey are specified in COMAR 10.24.03. Under these regulations, long-term care providers, including hospice programs, are required to submit accurate, timely and complete data needed by the MHCC to support planning for hospice services. Hospices licensed for general or limited hospice services in Maryland are required to report annually to the MHCC under COMAR 10.24.03.
