Maryland Trauma Physician Services Fund
ATTENTION: Effective November 30, 2024, Luminare Health, our current Third-Party Claims Administrator (TPA), will no longer process Uncompensated Care Claims (UCC) for the Maryland Trauma Physicians Services Fund, which is administered by the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC).

The Maryland Trauma Physician Services Fund provides payments to offset the costs of uncompensated and undercompensated medical care provided by trauma physicians to patients at Maryland's designated trauma centers; stipends to trauma centers to offset the trauma centers' on-call and standby expenses; and grant funding to trauma centers for certain equipment. The Fund is financed by a $13 surcharge on motor vehicle registrations.
The Maryland Health Care Commission and the Health Services Cost Review Commission annually report to the Maryland General Assembly on the status of the Trauma Fund.
