If you operate or are planning to launch care services in Maryland, you need clear, step-by-step help that matches state rules and payer expectations. CarePolicy builds Maryland provider policy & procedure collections and state-ready documentation for home health, hospice, behavioral health, assisted living, adult medical day care, and more. We also guide you through licensure, surveys, and Medicaid enrollment so you can open more quickly and stay compliant. Maryland’s regulator, the Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ), oversees more than 22,000 providers across many provider types, which means processes and standards are detailed and specific. Our job is to make them simple.

Workforce continues to be tight across care settings, so minimizing rework and delays is important. Nationally, home health and personal care aide occupations are expected to grow 17 percent. Practical, survey-ready policies and a lean licensing plan are now business essentials.

Maryland Licensing Overview

In Maryland, most facility and community programs are licensed by the Maryland Department of Health’s Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ), while community behavioral health programs are licensed under COMAR 10.63 by the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA). Some services, such as home health agencies and hospice, also have a Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) Certificate of Need (CON) requirement before OHCQ licensure. After state licensure, many providers complete CMS certification to bill Medicare and enroll with HealthChoice. Maryland care provider licensing consultations align each step, paperwork, and checklist to your provider type.

Maryland State Specific FAQs

Q1) Do home health agencies require a Certificate of Need in order to be licensed?
 Yes, Maryland requires that an HHA obtain a Certificate of Need (CON) from MHCC before an HHA can apply to OHCQ for licensure or expand into a new jurisdiction.

Q2) Does hospice also require a Certificate of Need?
 Yes, a general or limited hospice must have an MHCC CON or an MHCC exemption before submitting the OHCQ hospice licensure application.

Q3) Community behavioral health programs such as PRP, OTP, or OMHC are licensed by whom?
 Those programs are licensed under COMAR 10.63 by the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA), with accreditation-based pathways for many service types. CarePolicy maps documents to the appropriate parts of COMAR and accreditor standards.

Q4) What clinical staffing is needed for Adult Medical Day Care?
 Adult Medical Day Care centers are under COMAR 10.12.04. The regulations mandate registered nurse services and prescribe nursing presence and responsibility for participant care. Our templates include RN roles, care-planning forms, and daily logs compatible with COMAR.

Q5) How does Medicaid enrollment work in Maryland?
 Following licensure and, if applicable, Medicare certification, agencies enroll with Maryland’s HealthChoice program, the statewide mandatory Medicaid managed care system. We include provider enrollment checklists and payer-specific documentation tips.
