The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) maximum allowable fee schedule utilizes certain aspects of the Medicare Resource Based Relative Value System (RBRVS) methodology. BCBSNM has recently reviewed the BCBSNM Maximum Allowable Fee Schedule and determined that an update to the Fee Schedule is appropriate. Additionally, BCBSNM determined after reviewing Maximum Allowable Fee Schedules for Blue Advantage HMO Network, Blue Community HMO Network, and, Blue Preferred Network that updates to those fee schedules for dates-of-service on and after Oct. 1, 2023 are appropriate as well. New codes will continue to be added to the system. Pricing for injectable drugs will be updated quarterly.
Therefore, for dates of service on and after Oct. 1, 2023, your reimbursement will no longer be calculated using the 2022 Maximum Allowable Fee Schedule that was effective for BCBSNM on Oct. 1, 2022, but rather, BCBSNM’s updated Maximum Allowable Fee Schedule as described above.
To evaluate the changes in your reimbursement that may result from BCBSNM's updated Maximum Allowable Fee Schedule, you may receive an interactive copy of the Schedule by submitting a Fee Schedule Request Form to FeeScheduleRequests@bcbsnm.com.
