Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

Health care to a MAP eligible recipient 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 (PPA), a licensed practitioner of a facility that meets applicable requirements is eligible to be reimbursed for furnishing covered services to a MAP eligible recipient. 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 instruction, utilization review (UR) 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, to comply with the requirements and to update his or her knowledge as new material is provided by MAD. The provider must contact HSD or its authorized agents to request hard copies of any MAD New Mexico administrative code (NMAC) program rules, MAD billing and UR instructions and other pertinent material, and 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 his or her MAD PPA 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. A provider must supply necessary information in order for payment to be made. Upon approval of his or her MAD PPA, the following practitioners and facilities may be enrolled as MAD providers:
