Part 9 - BENEFIT PACKAGE
Section 8.308.9.9 - BENEFIT PACKAGE

Universal Citation: 8 NM Admin Code 8.308.9.9
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

This part defines the benefit package for which a MCO shall be paid a fixed per-member-per-month capitated payment rate. The MCO shall cover the services specified in 8.308.9 NMAC. The MCO shall not delete a benefit from the MCO benefit package. A MCO is encouraged to offer value added services that are not medicaid covered benefits or in lieu of services or settings. The MCO may utilize providers licensed in accordance with state and federal requirements to deliver services. The MCO shall provide and coordinate comprehensive and integrated health care benefits to each member enrolled in managed care and shall cover the physical health, behavioral health and long-term care services per this section, its contract, and as directed by HSD. If the MCO is unable to provide covered services to a particular member using one of its contracted providers, the MCO shall adequately and timely cover these services for that member using a non-contract provider for as long as the member's MCO provider network is unable to provide the service. At such time that the required services become available within the MCO's network and the member can be safely transferred, the MCO may transfer the member to an appropriate contract provider according to a transition of care plan developed specifically for the member; see 8.308.11 NMAC.
