6. Useful Websites New standards for DD Waiver providers are located: http://www.hsd.state.nm.us/mad Click on General Info on the top left side of the screen.
7. Useful Websites Go to the bottom of the screen under “Other sites of interest” and click on NM Department of Health. On the right hand side of the screen under ”New And Improved” – learn about what’s new on the Developmental Disabilities Supports Division. Under “WHAT’S NEW?” click on the DD Waiver Standards.
8. NPI REQUIREMENTS Waiver Providers – if an HCBS waiver provider ONLY renders administrative services such as helping coordinate non-medical services, supports living arrangements (assisted, family, independent, supported, and environmental modifications), supplies homemaker, respite or transportation services, the provider would be “Atypical” and will not need an NPI number.
9. NPI REQUIREMENTS Waiver Providers – A HCBS waiver provider will need to apply for and use an NPI if any of their services are provided by a licensed healthcare provider such as an RN, an LPN, or a therapist (list not all inclusive).
10. Use of Taxonomy When a professional services provider (that is, not a hospital or nursing facility) renders multiple types of service under the same business address and the same federal tax ID, one NPI number may be used by that provider. A taxonomy code is required to direct Omnicaid to the appropriate service to pay.
11. Use of Taxonomy Absence of a valid taxonomy may cause New Mexico Medicaid claim to deny for providers using one NPI for multiple types of service.
12. Use of Taxonomy Selecting Taxonomy for a Claim – providers that need to reflect taxonomy for use on New Mexico Medicaid claims, must select an approved taxonomy for their provider type from the tables available at: http://www.hsd.state.nm.us/mad/pdf_files/Supplements/REG_S_07-03.pdf

13. Claim Form Requirements

14. Claim Form Requirements All claims that do not require an attachment for payment must be submitted electronically. Professional claims are submitted on the 837P electronically and the CMS-1500 on paper. MAD requires that all paper CMS-1500 claim forms be on the original red claim forms. Photocopies of claim forms are returned to the provider’s billing office.
15. Electronic Claim Submission All Fee For Service claims within 90 days from the initial date of service that do not require an attachment for payment must be submitted electronically. For any assistance regarding Electronic Claims Submissions, contact the HIPAA Helpdesk HIPAAHelpdesk@acs-inc.com or call 800-299-7304
16. Three Ways to Submit Claims Electronically Payerpath – Free HIPAA Compliant web-based claims entry system. The URL to the registration form for Payerpath submissions is: http://www.hsd.state.nm.us/mad/hipaa.html *Pay attention to the RA Newsletter, for upcoming updates to the Payerpath. Through a Clearinghouse EDI Gateway The URL for additional information regarding EDI Gateway electronic submissions is: http://www.hsd.state.nm.us/mad//pdf_files/Converting%20from%20TIE%20to%20ACS%20EDI.pdf
17. Timely Filing Limits 90 days from the date of service for all providers.   Exceptions to the 90 day timely filing limit: Schools, the filing limits are 120 days for the initial filing period and 120 days for the grace period (rather than 90 days). IHS and Tribal 638 compact facilities, the filing limit is 2 years from the date of service with no additional grace period.
18. Timely Filing Limits For a claim which met the initial filing period, but was denied, partially denied, or requires an adjustment, there is an additional one-time 90 day grace period counted from the date of payment or denial, during which the claim can be re-filed or an adjustment submitted to Xerox. It is to the provider’s advantage to resubmit a claim, if necessary, within the initial 90 day filing period in order to have the greatest amount of time in which to re-file or submit an adjustment during the 90 day grace period if another re-filing or adjustment is necessary.
19. Timely Filing Limits The claim may be re-filed during the 90-day grace period as many times as necessary, but claims filed after the 90 day grace period will be denied.
20. Timely Filing Limits Exceptions to the filing limit: When other primary payers have denied or made payment on a claim, the filing limit of 90-days is counted from the date of payment or denial by the other party, but not to exceed 210 days from the date of service. A provider should file claims in sufficient time with other payers to allow submission in time to meet the Medicaid 210 day limit. When the recipient has retroactive eligibility, the initial filing limit is 120 days from the date the eligibility was added to the eligibility file and was therefore available to providers.
21. Timely Filing Denials Exceptions to the filing limit: When the provider was not originally enrolled as a MAD provider on the date of service, the filing limit of 90 days is counted from the date the provider was notified of their enrollment, but must not exceed 210 days from the date of service. A provider should submit a provider participation agreement in sufficient time to allow processing and still meet the Medicaid 210 day limit for submitting the claim. When a claim previously paid by a Medicaid managed care organization is recouped from a provider due to retroactive disenrollment of the client from the managed care organization, the filing limit of 90 days is counted from the date of the managed care organization’s notice or recoupment from the provider.
22. Timely Filing Denials Re-filing Claims and Submitting Adjustments When resubmitting a claim or requesting an adjustment on a claim that is past the 90 day filing limit but originally met the filing limit, the “TCN” number which appears on the remittance advice (RA) will be used by Xerox to evaluate the claim. The provider must supply that TCN number in order for Xerox to be able to evaluate the claim.
23. Timely Filing Denials Re-filing Claims and Submitting Adjustments CMS 1500 form: Put the TCN in block 22 on the paper form. Leave the “Code” blank, and put the TCN in the “Original Reference No.” field. UB Form: Put the TCN in Form Locator 64 “Document Control Number” (DCN) matching the appropriate payer line, using a paper form. Dental Claim Form: Enter the TCN number in Box 35 beginning on the left side.
24. CMS-1500 Claim Submission The following claim is how a paper CMS-1500 claim form is generally filled out. You must use procedure codes, etc. that are specific to your claims.

30. Eligibility The waiver client’s eligibility depends on receiving services for 30 days. If that occurs, the client is made eligible for the full month when his/her services began. During this “delay”, denial “0141” could be received. This means that the client’s eligibility has not yet been determined.
