Advanced Primary Care : Primary Care Investment Workgroup

During the 2022 legislative session, Senate Bill 734, Maryland Health Care Commission - Primary Care Report and Work group (Workgroup) passed. Senate Bill 734 requires the Maryland Health Care Commission to convene a work group of select stakeholders and annually report on ways to improve quality and access to primary care services, with special attention to increasing health care equity, reducing health care disparities, and avoiding increased costs to patients and the health care system. 

The Work group's scope of work is broad and encompasses analyzing primary care spending, developing plans to improve quality and access to primary care, identifying strategies to reduce barriers to primary care, and identifying approaches to increase the primary care workforce. In 2023, the Work group will develop a plan for the annual analysis and write the report, which is due to the Governor and General Assembly by December 1, 2023. Annual reporting begins December 2024.
