Maryland Ambulatory Surgery Facility Consumer Guide
The Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC), in consultation with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, produced this Guide on Ambulatory Surgery Facilities with the assistance of experts in the field of ambulatory surgery. The Maryland General Assembly established the Commission to carry out several health care reforms in the State, including development of information on ambulatory surgery facilities. The Commission is a public regulatory agency.
