HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER INFO LOADING
HB 402 requires health insurance carriers in New Mexico to add new providers to their payment systems within 30 days of receiving a complete credentialing application. If carriers miss this deadline, they must reimburse providers for covered services rendered after the 30-day mark. The law also sets standards for the credentialing process, limiting required application forms to two and requiring carriers to send written requests for missing documentation within 10 days. This directly affects health insurance companies and healthcare providers (including dentists), ensuring timely access to payment systems and reducing reimbursement delays.
