New Mexico’s healthcare landscape is defined by one of the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the country — over 40% of the state’s population relies on Medicaid coverage. For independent practices and clinics, that means a heavy managed care payer mix, strict prior authorization requirements, and reimbursement rates that demand precise coding to protect your margins.
The state’s Medicaid program, Centennial Care, is administered through managed care organizations including Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, Molina Healthcare, Presbyterian Health Plan, and United Healthcare Community Plan. Each MCO carries its own authorization rules, timely filing limits, and claim submission portals — and billing errors specific to any one of them can silently drain your collections for months.
We serve practices across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Roswell and beyond — with full remote support available to providers anywhere in the state.
New Mexico practices lose thousands in collectible revenue every month without ever knowing why. These are the six most common reasons.
From the moment a patient walks in to the final payment posted, we handle the entire revenue cycle so nothing falls through the cracks.
Getting enrolled correctly from day one prevents payment delays that can stretch for months. We manage the entire credentialing process so you’re ready to bill from your first patient encounter.
Every encounter gets reviewed by certified coders trained in your specialty before a single claim leaves the building. Accurate coding means more revenue and less audit risk.
Our multi-layer scrubbing process catches billing errors before they become denials. Clean claims go out fast — and most are resolved on the first submission.
We don’t file denials away — we work them. Every denial is identified same day, analyzed for root cause, and appealed with documentation that gets results.
We recover patient balances efficiently while maintaining the respectful, professional tone that keeps your patients loyal to your practice.
You get complete visibility into every dollar moving through your practice — claim by claim, payer by payer, month by month.
Billing rules, modifier requirements, and payer behavior vary significantly from one specialty to the next. Our teams are trained in specialty-specific coding and payer policies — not just general billing — so your claims are always handled by someone who knows your field.
Switching billing partners doesn’t have to mean disruption. Most New Mexico practices are fully live within 5-7 business days with zero gap in claim submissions during the transition.
We start by auditing your current billing performance – denial trends, A/R age, coding patterns, and collection rates – then show you exactly what’s being left on the table.
You receive a tailored proposal with clear pricing, projected revenue improvements, and a transition plan built specifically around your specialty and patient volume.
Our team connects with your EHR, verifies active provider credentials, and completes all payer enrollment checks. You keep seeing patients. We handle the rest.
Claims go live within 72 hours. Your dedicated account manager tracks performance daily and delivers monthly executive reports so you always know exactly where your revenue stands.

Yes. We are fully experienced with Centennial Care billing across all four managed care organizations — Blue Cross Blue Shield of NM, Molina Healthcare, Presbyterian Health Plan, and United Healthcare Community Plan — including their individual prior authorization workflows, fee schedules, and timely filing requirements.
We serve practices in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Roswell, and the surrounding communities. Our team operates fully remotely, so we support providers anywhere across New Mexico without disruption to your workflow.
Yes. New Mexico has a prompt payment law requiring insurers to pay clean claims within 30 days (electronic) or 45 days (paper). The state also has telehealth parity requirements, meaning most payers must reimburse telehealth services at the same rate as in-person visits — a commonly underclaimed opportunity for NM providers.
Beyond Centennial Care's four MCOs, the major commercial payers in New Mexico include Presbyterian Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, and Cigna. Federal employee plans also carry notable volume given the state's large government and military workforce near Albuquerque and Alamogordo.
Most New Mexico practices go live within 48–72 hours of completing onboarding. We handle EHR integration, provider credentialing verification across Centennial Care MCOs, and commercial payer enrollment checks from day one — with zero billing gap during the transition.
