Summary
Effective January 1, 2026, New Mexico Senate Bill 249 requires UnitedHealthcare Medicaid to reimburse providers for gross receipt taxes (GRT) they pay on Medicaid services. Provider remittance advice will now show GRT and service payments as separate line items.
Action Required
By January 1, 2026: Billing team must review provider remittance advice notices to verify GRT reimbursements appear as separate line items from service payments. Review page 71 of the New Mexico 2026 Turquoise Care Provider Manual for GRT rate changes. No billing system changes required as this is automatic reimbursement.
