N.M. Admin. Code § 8.300.6.10 - STATUS OF PROVIDER TO HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY
A provider, its agents and employees are independent contractors who perform professional services for eligible recipients served through health care programs administered by HCA or its authorized agents and are not employees of HCA, or the state of New Mexico. A provider shall not purport to bind either HCA or the state of New Mexico to any obligation not expressly authorized, unless HCA has given the provider express written permission to do so.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
