Section 8.324.4.10 - ELIGIBLE PROVIDERS

A. Health care to New Mexico MAP eligible recipients is furnished by a variety of providers and provider groups. The reimbursement and billing for these services is administered by MAD. Upon approval of a New Mexico MAD provider participation agreement by MAD or its designee, licensed practitioners, facilities and other providers of services that meet applicable requirements are eligible to be reimbursed for furnishing covered services to MAP eligible recipients. A provider must be enrolled before submitting a claim for payment to the MAD claims processing contractors. MAD makes available on the HSD/MAD website, on other program-specific websites, or in hard copy format, information necessary to participate in health care programs administered by HSD or its authorized agents, including program rules, billing instructions, utilization review instructions, and other pertinent materials. When enrolled, a provider receives instruction on how to access these documents. It is the provider's responsibility to access these instructions, to understand the information provided and to comply with the requirements. The provider must contact HSD or its authorized agents to obtain answers to questions related to the material or not covered by the material. To be eligible for reimbursement, a provider must adhere to the provisions of the MAD provider participation agreement (PPA), an agreement with a HSD contracted managed care organization (MCO) and all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and executive orders. MAD or its selected claims processing contractor issues payments to a provider using electronic funds transfer (EFT) only. Providers must supply necessary information in order for payment to be made. Eligible providers include:

B. When services are billed to and paid by a MAD coordinated services contractor, the provider must also enroll as a provider with the coordinated services contractor and follow that contractor's instructions for billing and for authorization of services.

C. Properly licensed practitioners and facilities may also be enrolled for the purpose of being reimbursed for practitioner administered drug items that cannot be self-administered by the medical assistance program (MAP) eligible recipient.
