BULLETIN 2022-024
December 28, 2022
TO:
ALL FULLY-INSURED, MAJOR MEDICAL HEALTH INSURERS SUBJECT
TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE NEW MEXICO SUPERINTENDENT OF
INSURANCE (“SUPERINTENDENT”)
RE:
PROVIDER CREDENTIALING REPORTING
Pursuant to 13.10.28.10(D) NMAC, “[e]ach health carrier shall submit a report to the
superintendent regarding its credentialing process for the prior two-year period beginning
December 31, 2018, and on December 31 for all even numbered years thereafter, or as otherwise
directed by the superintendent.” The December 31st reporting deadline does not account for the
time needed by insurers to collect data on credentialing during the last quarter of the reporting
period. Accordingly, major medical insurers that offered coverage for sale in New Mexico in 2021
and 2022 shall furnish credentialing data to the Superintendent on May 1, 2023, and biennially
each May 1, going forward. Reporting for the May 1, 2023 reporting deadline shall:
1.
Include primary care practitioners, psychiatrists, other behavioral health providers,
medical/surgical specialists, doctors of oriental medicine, and laboratory facilities credentialed by
a major medical insurer. Reporting for one category of provider shall not overlap with reporting
for any other category of provider.
2.
Carriers shall report for any years they participated in New Mexico’s health
insurance market during the 2021 through 2022 reporting period. Carriers that withdrew from the
health insurance market shall continue to report for any period for which they have enrollment in
their health insurance plans.
3.
Dental insurers shall be excluded from this reporting cycle.
