Clinical diagnostic testing facilities must observe Novitas-specific LCD guidelines for routine and specialized testing rather than MolDx Z-Code rules, since JH does not participate in the program. Key compliance considerations include adhering to Novitas’ documentation thresholds for definitive substance monitoring, confirming ordering-provider Medicare enrollment, and managing timely filing limits effectively.

New Mexico’s statute of limitations for medical billing is generally six years from the date of service. However, insurance companies have much shorter filing deadlines typically 90 to 180 days for commercial payers, 365 days for Medicare, 6-12 months for New Mexico Medicaid MCOs, and specific timeframes for IHS claims. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical.
The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, all four New Mexico Medicaid MCOs (Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico/Western Sky, Molina Healthcare, Presbyterian Health Plan, and United Healthcare Community Plan) require prior authorization for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, most tests over $500, and specialty immunology panels. Authorization requirements and processes vary by MCO. The authorization process typically takes 9-24 days depending on the MCO, complexity, and medical necessity documentation. TransLabs manages all four MCO portals to ensure approvals are secured before testing begins.
A Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is a Medicare policy that defines which tests are covered, which ICD-10 codes support medical necessity, and testing frequency limitations. New Mexico falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction H (JH), administered by Novitas Solutions, which has strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
