Top 5 Things To Know About Maryland Hospitals:

  • NOT-FOR-PROFIT MISSION: Maryland’s hospitals are nonprofit organizations dedicated to delivering high quality health care and improving the health of all Marylanders.
  • ECONOMIC DRIVERS: Hospitals are among Maryland’s largest employers — directly employing 104,000 people and supporting 113,000 related jobs — producing $32 billion of yearly economic impact.
  • HEALTH EQUITY: Every Maryland hospital is committed to the pursuit of health equity — eliminating disparities based on race, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic status. 
  • CARE FOR ALL: Hospitals care for all regardless of ability to pay, including some 366,000 uninsured Marylanders. Care of those unable to pay totaled $723 million last year, about $2 million a day.
  • HEALTH CARE SAVINGS: Maryland’s unique system of regulated hospital payment keeps health costs in check — billions of dollars have been saved — while ensuring that our hospitals are able to offer state-of-the-art care.

Maryland's All-Payer Model

Maryland has a unique health care system in which all payers –Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance and self-pay – pay the same amount for the same service at the same hospital. This innovative “All-Payer Model” has been effective in reducing health care costs and improving the quality of care.
