New Mexico MCO Roster Submission Support

A managed care organization (MCO) roster is a crucial document that officially links your agency's rendering behavioral-health providers to the MCO for billing purposes. It's how MCOs track which providers are actively affiliated with your group, are credentialed, and are eligible to render services under your group's network contract. Proper roster management is key for both in-network claims and understanding out-of-network status when applicable.

MCOs require specific provider identifiers, active license status, and confirmed network participation for claims to be considered payable. Our support focuses on helping your agency organize and submit the necessary information to these MCOs, aiming to activate your rendering providers in a timely manner. We work with workflows involving MCOs operating in New Mexico, such as Presbyterian, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and Western Sky Community Care (Centene).

The MCO roster process is closely intertwined with your agency's YES.NM enrollment and the credentialing status of your individual and group NPIs. Before a provider can be successfully rostered with an MCO, they typically need to be actively enrolled in New Mexico Medicaid via YES.NM and credentialed with that specific MCO. Our team supports workflows involving these interconnected processes.

We help agencies navigate the necessary steps, from initial Medicaid provider enrollment and revalidation processes to ensuring that the taxonomy and license status of your providers align across all platforms. This comprehensive approach helps minimize discrepancies that can lead to claim rejections or delays in roster activation.

Even with active credentialing, roster delays or incorrect submissions can significantly impact your claims. An MCO might deny claims for services rendered if the rendering provider is not properly rostered or if their effective date of network participation is not yet active. This can lead to out-of-network denials, even when the agency believes it is in-network.

We are familiar with how these administrative complexities can result in claim rejections. Our support focuses on helping your agency proactively manage roster submissions and follow up on their status, aiming to mitigate issues such as 'provider not on file' or A7 claim rejections. We emphasize the importance of verifying roster activation before services are billed.
