The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1157 - Hospitals - Uniform Standard Credentialing Form.
This bill requires a hospital to use the uniform standard credentialing form as the
initial application of a physician seeking to be credentialed.
Senate Bill 819, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1157.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 1157
AN ACT concerning
Health Care—Practitioners-Credentials Hospitals - Uniform Standard
Credentialing Form
FOR the purpose of requiring a hospital to use a uniform standard credentialing form
as a condition of licensure; requiring a uniform credentialing form to provide for
the collection of certain information for carriers, credentialing intermediaries,
and health care facilities; requiring a health care facility to accept the uniform
credentialing form as the solo application for a health care provider; requiring
the uniform credentialing form be made available to a health care provider that
is to be credentialed by a health-care facility; authorizing the Insurance
Commissioner to impose a certain penalty to a health-care facility for certain
reasons; altering certain definitions requiring hospitals to use the uniform
standard credentialing form as the initial application of a physician seeking to
be credentialed; providing that the use of the uniform standard credentialing
form does not preclude a hospital from requiring additional information;
authorizing the Insurance Commissioner to permit a carrier to use a health care
facility's credentialing form in certain circumstances; requiring the Secretary of
Health and Mental Hygiene to consult with certain organizations in the
development of the uniform standard credentialing form; defining a certain
