COMCOR 02.42A.03 Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services Fee Schedule

Section 16-201(b), Health-General Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, requires political subdivisions to set charges and collect fees for health and health-related services funded in whole or in part by State or Federal funds. Services provided by the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services are affected by this law.

Section 2-42A(e), Montgomery County Code requires that fees for Department of Health and Human Services services will be established by the County Executive who may from time to time change them in an amount not to exceed the actual cost of the services provided.

The current maximum fee to be charged by the Department of Health and Human Services for the health services it provides is determined annually by the Maryland Department of Health.

The Maryland Department of Health annually issues an Ability to Pay Schedule in accordance with its responsibilities under Section 16-201, Health-General Article, Annotated Code of Maryland. That portion of the authorized service fee to be paid by a client is determined by reference to the Ability to Pay Schedule. No client is denied services due to inability to pay.
