Universal Citation: 8 NM Admin Code 8.352.2.19

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

The HSD administrative hearing final decision is binding on all issues that have been the subject of the HSD administrative hearing as to the claimant unless stayed by either a court order or by the MAD director or designee. MAD is responsible for ensuring that the HSD administrative hearing final decision is fulfilled.

A. If the claimant is a member and he or she received a benefit under his or her approved continuation of the benefit and the decision is favorable to the MCO, the claimant's MCO will take action to file a repayment claim to the claimant or the claimant's authorized representative for the services received during the MCO appeal and the HSD administrative hearing process up to the date of the HSD administrative hearing final decision. The claimant is responsible for repayment to his or her MCO the amount of paid claims for the continuation of the benefit beginning on the first date of service of the claimant's approved continuation of the benefit up to and including the date of the HSD administrative hearing final decision. The claimant's MCO is charged with the collection of this amount. The repayment amount must be used by the claimant's MCO to benefit its members.

B. If the claimant is not enrolled in a MCO and the HSD administrative hearing final decision is favorable to MAD or its UR contractor, MAD will take action to file a repayment claim to the claimant or the claimant's authorized representative for the services received during the HSD administrative hearing process up to the date of the HSD administrative hearing final decision.

C. When the HSD administrative hearing final decision is favorable to the claimant, MAD, its UR contractor or MCO will authorize the benefit and coverage set forth in the HSD administrative hearing final decision.

D. A request for a HSD administrative hearing concerning the MAD or MCO repayment claim is limited to alleging errors in how the repayment amount was determined. The HSD final administrative hearing decision serves as the claimant's notice of action from either the MCO or MAD to start collection proceedings.
