About the Survey
The Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) conducts an annual survey of Maryland Freestanding Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (ASFs) in the second quarter of each year. Facilities have 45 business days to complete and submit the survey. Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR 10.24.04) specify the reporting requirements for Maryland Freestanding ASFs. Under these regulations, the Commission requires providers to submit accurate, timely, and complete data needed to support health planning and policy development for ambulatory surgery services.
The Commission has revised and streamlined the annual survey beginning with the 2018 reporting year to meet current Commission requirements and to support informational requirements of the Health Service Cost Review Commission (HSCRC). Survey results are used to update the State Health Plan as well as the MHCC consumer website
How to complete the survey
MHCC uses a web-based application to collect survey data. Providers receive a login ID and password to access the portal, submit their survey, and request assistance. All official correspondence about the survey is conducted through the email utility within the application. Providers are required to maintain a valid email address with the Commission. If your facility’s contact information has changed since your last survey, please contact me directly to update your records.
