A. 13 NMAC 10.5.12.2.1 and 10.5.12.4 [now Paragraph (1) of Subsection B of 13.10.5.12 NMAC and Subsection D of 13.10.5.12 NMAC] do not apply to federally qualified HMOs as long as they are not permitted to require actively at work, hospital non-confinement rules, medical evidence of insurability, or pre-existing condition limitations.

B. In situations where services for a totally disabled person are provided by the succeeding HMO, the succeeding HMO may bill the prior carrier for the reasonable cash value of services provided when the prior carrier has an obligation under its required extension of benefits. The prior carrier shall make direct payment to the succeeding HMO for the cost of the services provided.
