Statewide service overview
Behavioral-health billing and revenue-cycle support across New Mexico.
One consistent workflow across every service line you operate — outpatient, IOP, SUD, CCSS, and peer support.
Behavioral-health revenue rarely fails in one dramatic place. It leaks through small, repeatable gaps: a member reassigned to a different MCO mid-episode, a clinician delivering care before roster activation, units documented one way and billed another, a denial category that nobody has time to group.
New Mexico Billing works on those gaps. We map how claims actually move through your systems, identify the patterns that repeat, and leave you with a rhythm your staff can run without us standing over it.
What revenue-cycle support covers
Support is organized around checkpoints rather than job titles, so the same review applies whether a claim comes from a therapist's caseload or a structured program.
- Eligibility and payer assignment verification
- Pre-submission claim QA across code, units, POS, and modifiers
- Rendering-provider, group-NPI, and affiliation review
- Authorization tracking across the episode of care
- Clearinghouse rejection versus payer denial triage
- ERA review, posting, and reconciliation
- Claim correction, resubmission, and appeal follow-through
- Timely filing monitoring
Revenue-cycle reporting and operating rhythm
Visibility is what turns billing from reactive to managed. A reporting rhythm gives leadership the same few numbers every month, tracked the same way, so trends are visible before they become cash problems.
- Clean-claim rate
- Denial reasons grouped by category and payer
- Days in A/R and aging buckets
- Payer performance comparison
- Claim status by stage
- Net collections against expected
Who we work with
Behavioral-health agencies, mental-health and substance-use IOPs, outpatient practices, CCSS teams, peer-support programs, and clinicians serving communities across New Mexico.
New Mexico Billing is not a clinical provider, treatment center, government entity, payer, or MCO representative. Clinical, documentation, and compliance decisions remain with the provider organization.
Specific coverage, authorization, credentialing, and billing requirements must be verified for the provider, service, patient, date of service, and payer.
