Medicaid Management Information System - Surveillance and Utilization Review Subsystem - Publication of Procurement Schedule

SB 840 requires the Maryland Department of Health to publish a schedule for procuring the Surveillance and Utilization Review Subsystem (SURS) of the Medicaid Management Information System on its website by October 1, 2025. It also mandates that the Department post a 60-day advance notice detailing contracting procedures, requirements, and timelines before issuing any solicitation for this subsystem. This bill increases transparency in the procurement process by ensuring the public and potential vendors have clear, timely information about the timeline and requirements. The law directly affects the Maryland Department of Health, which must comply with these publishing requirements.
