From: Aarushi Sahejpal
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Complete hospital discharge data surrounding all of the following procedures - Amputations, Endovascular procedures (therapeutic) and/or Open bypass surgery -- specifically relating to Type II diabetes and/or Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) broken down by hospital name, gender, race, total charges, total costs, address and zip code.
I request this data be separated by year between 2017 and 2022, or the last available data.
The excel, csv, or pdf file could look as follows:
Procedure, hospital name, year, gender, race, total charges, total costs, address, zip code.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not. I would also prefer any fees be waived as I am a member of the nonprofit media, and this information will serve the public.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Aarushi Sahejpal
