Question 1

Who is New Mexico Billing for?

Accepted Answer

New Mexico Billing is designed for behavioral-health agencies, mental-health and SUD IOPs, outpatient practices, CCSS teams, peer-support programs, and clinicians serving New Mexico.

Question 2

What systems do you understand?

Accepted Answer

Workflow familiarity may include behavioral-health EHRs such as TherapyNotes and EMR Bear, medical practice-management systems, clearinghouses such as Claim.MD, Office Ally, and Availity, payer portals, YES.NM enrollment workflows, MCO roster submissions, ERA systems, and payer follow-up processes.

Question 3

What is the difference between provider enrollment and MCO roster activation?

Accepted Answer

An active license or NPI does not necessarily mean that a provider is enrolled, affiliated, credentialed, or active on every payer roster. These are separate operational checkpoints that should be tracked independently.

Question 4

Do you guarantee payment?

Accepted Answer

No. New Mexico Billing cannot guarantee payer approval, payment, authorization, or reimbursement. We support workflow accuracy, visibility, and follow-through while providers remain responsible for clinical documentation, eligibility, authorization, credentialing, and compliance decisions.

Question 5

Do you determine ASAM placement or medical necessity?

Accepted Answer

No. ASAM placement, diagnosis, treatment planning, medical necessity, and clinical supervision remain the responsibility of qualified clinical professionals and the provider organization.

Question 6

Do you need to be physically located in New Mexico?

Accepted Answer

New Mexico Billing is focused on supporting behavioral-health providers serving communities across New Mexico. Specific service arrangements and operating details should be confirmed during an initial conversation.

Question 7

Are you affiliated with any New Mexico payer, MCO, or state agency?

Accepted Answer

No. New Mexico Billing is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any payer, MCO, government agency, EHR, or clearinghouse. Names on this site describe workflow familiarity only.

Question 8

What is the difference between a clearinghouse rejection and a payer denial?

Accepted Answer

A rejection means the claim never reached the payer, usually because of formatting, identifier, or enrollment issues. A denial means the payer received and adjudicated the claim against plan rules. They are resolved in different places.

Question 9

Should I send claim examples through the website form?

Accepted Answer

No. Please never submit PHI, patient names, member IDs, claim numbers, diagnoses, or other sensitive information through the website. Specific data should only be shared through a secure, agreed process after an initial conversation.
