Frederick Health Hospital: ER, doctors, parking, appointments, costs and patient information
Frederick Health Hospital is the acute-care hospital at 400 West 7th Street, Frederick, Maryland 21701. The hospital is open 24 hours a day and provides emergency care, heart care, surgery, stroke services, pediatric care, maternity services, NICU care, behavioral health, vascular services and other inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Long-time Frederick residents may still recognize the former name Frederick Memorial Hospital. The hospital formally changed its name to Frederick Health Hospital in 2019, so older medical records, referrals or search results may still use the former name.
This guide puts the practical information patients usually need in one place: phone numbers, Emergency Department hours, pediatric emergency access, current doctors, specialty-office hours, parking, visitor rules, medical records, hospital and physician billing, financial assistance, cafeteria hours and what to do before arriving.

Frederick Health Hospital Emergency Department
The Emergency Department is open continuously and treats serious illness, injury, stroke symptoms, heart-related emergencies and other urgent conditions.

What happens when you arrive?
Patients are assessed by an emergency-care team and assigned an urgency level from 1 through 5, with Level 1 representing the most serious emergencies. Treatment therefore is not strictly first-come, first-served.
Some testing and treatment can begin during the intake process before a patient reaches a private treatment room.
Emergency Department facilities
- More than 50 private treatment rooms
- Bedside registration
- Digital X-ray services
- CT scanning
- Ultrasound
- Advanced patient monitoring
- Certified stroke services

Emergency visitor limit
Frederick Health currently limits the Emergency Department treatment area to two visitors per patient. Families are encouraged to designate one spokesperson who can communicate updates to other relatives and friends.

Frederick Health Hospital operates a separate Pediatric Emergency Center 24 hours a day. The pediatric area is staffed by emergency physicians and specially trained pediatric staff.

Frederick Health doctor fees, ER charges and hospital prices
Maryland’s hospital-rate system makes Frederick Health pricing different from many hospitals in other states.
Maryland hospital charges are state regulated
Frederick Health Hospital’s regulated hospital rates are governed by the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC). Hospital rates are based on resources used and are not simply set independently by Frederick Health for each insurer.
The hospital’s current public chargemaster reflects charges effective February 20, 2026. Maryland hospital rate updates generally align with HSCRC rate-setting cycles.
Hospital charge does not include every doctor bill
Physician and certain contracted-provider professional fees are separate from the regulated hospital bill. This is why an ER visit, surgery or imaging study can produce more than one statement.
Emergency room fee
Frederick Health does not publish one universal flat ER fee because the hospital charge depends on the level of emergency care and services actually used. Tests, CT scans, X-rays, medications, supplies and other services can add to the hospital bill.
Emergency physicians are currently contracted through Sound Physicians Emergency Medicine of Maryland, which can bill separately.
Doctor consultation fee
There is no single Frederick Health Medical Group consultation price that applies to every specialty. A primary-care appointment, oncology consultation, orthopedic visit, surgical consultation and hospital specialist evaluation can all be billed differently.
Self-pay pricing
Frederick Health’s hospital transparency file includes an estimated self-pay cash charge with a 2% prompt-payment discount under applicable Maryland HSCRC rules.
Get a personalized estimate
Frederick Health provides an online estimator that can calculate estimated hospital charges and patient responsibility using insurance information.

Frederick Health financial assistance and medical hardship program
Frederick Health’s current Financial Assistance Policy was revised in March 2026.
Who may qualify?
Uninsured, underinsured and other patients who cannot reasonably pay for medically necessary care may qualify. Frederick Health uses a sliding scale based on household income and Federal Poverty Guidelines.
The current 2026 policy states that Frederick Health’s standard assistance program provides a reduction greater than 20% for qualifying households with family income at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Presumptive free-care situations can include
- Active Medical Assistance pharmacy coverage
- Qualified Medicare Beneficiary coverage
- Specified low-income Medicare programs
- Homelessness
- Maryland Public Health System emergency-petition patients
- WIC participation
- SNAP / food-assistance participation
- Income-qualified free or reduced school-meal programs
- Low-income energy-assistance programs
- Other qualifying means-tested assistance programs
Medical Hardship Program
Patients who do not qualify through the standard program may qualify for medical hardship when Frederick Health medical debt exceeds 25% of combined household income during a 12-month period.
Under the current policy, this hardship pathway primarily applies to households above 500% of the Federal Poverty Level and can provide a 20% reduction for medically necessary Frederick Health care during the applicable 12-month period.
Assets
Frederick Health’s 2026 policy says household monetary assets generally are not considered unless readily available assets exceed $100,000. Tax-advantaged retirement assets are excluded from that calculation.
How long does a decision take?
Once a complete application has been received, Frederick Health says an eligibility decision is generally issued within 14 days.
Application window
Patients can generally submit financial-assistance documentation within 240 days after the first post-discharge billing statement, subject to policy requirements.
Financial-assistance application help
Assistance is also available in person at 400 West 7th Street.
Insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and network questions
Frederick Health treats patients with Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, managed-care plans, workers’ compensation, government coverage and self-pay arrangements.
Because insurance networks can change by employer and product, the safest method is to verify the exact plan name rather than relying only on the insurance-company name.
Before a planned visit
- Call the number on the insurance card.
- Confirm Frederick Health Hospital is in network.
- Confirm the named physician is also in network.
- Ask whether a referral is required.
- Ask whether prior authorization is required for imaging, surgery or another service.
- Ask about your deductible and coinsurance.

Frederick Health Hospital has an on-campus parking garage serving patients and visitors. The hospital is currently completing improvements to the garage, but it remains open and in use.
Current garage status
- The parking garage remains open during improvement work.
- Follow temporary signs and Security instructions.
- The campus and garage speed limit is 10 mph.
- Headlights are required while driving inside the garage.
- The garage has three entry/exit points.

Frederick Health ambulatory and outpatient locations generally allow two support persons, although this may change based on visitor-status levels, space and clinical needs.
Surgery recovery visitors
For outpatient surgery, one visitor may generally enter the recovery area when the patient is close to discharge and the care team determines it is appropriate. The visitor who will care for the patient at home is encouraged to be the person present for discharge instructions.
Photography and recording
Frederick Health’s patient rules prohibit unauthorized photographs or recordings of staff or other individuals.
Smoking, vaping and substances
Hospital rules prohibit tobacco, inhaled nicotine, illicit drugs and unauthorized alcohol use in restricted hospital settings.
