Martin O'Malley, Governor
S.B. 557
May 17, 2007 The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401 Dear Mr. President: In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 557 - Health Insurance - Credentialing Intermediaries and Uniform
Credentialing Form.
This bill exempts carriers that use specified credentialing intermediaries from the
requirement to use the uniform credentialing form, and from certain time frames for
credentialing decisions. Such carriers must use a credentialing intermediary that:
1) is a hospital or academic medical center; 2) is a participating provider on the
carrier's provider panel; and 3) acts as a credentialing intermediary for that carrier for
health care practitioners that participate on the carrier's provider panel and have
privileges at the hospital or academic health center. House Bill 515, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 557. Sincerely, Martin O'Malley
Governor Senate Bill 557 AN ACT concerning Health Insurance - Credentialing Intermediaries Exemptions and Uniform Credentialing Form FOR the purpose of providing that certain carriers are exempt from providing certain
information within a certain time frame to a provider under certain
circumstances; exempting certain credentialing intermediaries from certain
requirements regarding the uniform credentialing form; repealing a
requirement that the Insurance Commissioner designate the uniform
credentialing form through regulation; authorizing, rather than requiring, the
Commissioner to adopt regulations to implement provisions of law relating to
credentialing; altering a certain definition; defining a certain term; and
