To help New Mexico eligible recipients receive medically necessary services, the medical assistance division (MAD) pays for border area services to the same extent and subject to the same rules and requirements that such services are covered when provided within the state. MAD pays for out-of-state services as described under 8.302.4.12 NMAC, covered out-of-state services.
