N.M. Admin. Code § 8.310.4.14 - NON-COVERED SERVICES AND SERVICE LIMITATION

FQHC services are covered when provided in outpatient settings only, including a client's place of residence, which may be a skilled nursing facility or a nursing facility or other institution used as a client's home. FQHC services are not covered in a hospital as defined in section 1861(e)(1) of the Act.

A. Service limitations: An FQHC may be compensated for provision of other "ambulatory services" covered in the medicaid fee-for-service program (per the Balanced Budget Act of 1997). However, an FQHC must meet licensing and certification requirements for those services as specified in the applicable MAD policy manual section for the specific service.

B. Location of clinic:

(1) Permanent unit: Objects, equipment, and supplies necessary for the provision of services furnished directly by the FQHC must be housed in a permanent structure. Each unit must have individual FQHC certification.

(2) Mobile unit: The objects, equipment, and supplies necessary for the provision of services furnished by the FQHC must be housed in an FQHC mobile structure which has fixed, scheduled locations.

C. Other restrictions: FQHC service providers are subject to the limitations and coverage restrictions which exist for other medicaid services. See 8.301.3 NMAC, General Non-covered Services.
