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

With the exception of referrals for credible allegations of fraud, HSD has established a hearing process for MAD fee-for-service (FFS) providers who disagree with its decision concerning his or her participation as a MAD provider, recoupment of overpayments due to a provider billing error, and the imposition of MAD sanctions. For the provider administrative hearing process concerning decisions on noncompliance with nursing facility (NF) or intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF-IID) provider certification requirements also see hearing regulations promulgated by the department of health (DOH) and specific MAD New Mexico administrative code (NMAC) rules applicable to the provider. See 8.311.3 NMAC, 8.312.2 NMAC, and 8.313.3 NMAC for a detailed description of the appeals process for audit settlements. See 8.308.14 NMAC for a detailed description of the grievance and appeal process for resolving provider disputes between a HSD contracted managed care organization (MCO) and its contractor or subcontractor. For applicable rules for services and items provided through a MAD coordinated service contractor, see 8.349.2 NMAC.
