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. Reimbursement and billing for these services are administered by MAD. Upon approval of a New Mexico MAD provider participation agreement (PPA) 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 a MAP eligible recipient. Providers 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, and 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 (UR) instructions, and other pertinent material. 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. Providers must contact HSD, or its authorized agents, for answers to billing questions or any of these materials. To be eligible for reimbursement, a provider must adhere to the provisions of the MAD PPA and 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. The following providers are eligible to be reimbursed for providing transportation or transportation related services to MAP eligible recipients:
A. air ambulances certified by the state of New Mexico department of health (DOH), emergency medical services bureau;
B. ground ambulance services certified by the New Mexico public regulation commission (NMPRC) or by the appropriate state licensing body for out-of-state ground ambulance services, within those geographic regions in the state specifically authorized by the NMPRC;
C. non-emergency transportation vendors (taxicab, vans and other vehicles) and certain bus services certified by the NMPRC, within those geographic regions in the state specifically authorized by the NMPRC;
D. long distance common carriers, that include buses, trains and airplanes;
E. certain carriers exempted or warranted by the NMPRC within those geographic regions in the state specifically authorized by the NMPRC;
F. lodging and meal providers; and
G. when services are billed to and paid by a MAD MAP coordinated services contractor authorized by HSD, under an administrative services contract, 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.
