Annual Long Term Care Survey

The Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) releases the annual Maryland Long Term Care Survey during the first quarter of each year. The survey collection period runs for 60 days. The reporting requirements of the Maryland Long-Term Care Survey are specified in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR 10.24.03). Under those regulations, providers are required to submit accurate, timely, and complete data needed by the Commission to support planning for long-term care services. This data is used to develop the State Health Plan, determine the need for additional capacity, assess the financial health and performance of the industry, and update the MHCC Quality Reporting website. To comply with Maryland law, facilities must have their survey accepted by the specified due date.

The Maryland Health Care Commission uses a web-based application to collect the data. Providers are given a login ID and Password to access this portal to complete the survey and to request and receive timely assistance. The Commission staff communicates with providers throughout the collection using the email utility within the application. Therefore, all correspondence about the Long Term Care Survey will be conducted within the survey application. As such, email is the official means of communication for the Surveys. All Providers are required to provide the Commission with a valid email address. Direct emails (employee work email) will be used by staff only as applicable. The Commission currently operates on a hybrid schedule.

The following facility types are required to complete the 2023 Long Term Care Survey:

Note: Adult Day Care. Under the guidelines of the Commission’s authority, the Commission has decided to separate the collection of this data to align it with the quality reporting initiative. The Adult Day Care is not collected on the Long Term Care Survey.
