Out of State Providers
Instructions for ABA Telehealth Providers
The BICC, BACB, and New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD) psychologist’s practice board allows and supports the use of telehealth to deliver ABA services and the HCA does not require in-state ABA providers to have a telemedicine license. However, if the AEP is an out-of-state provider, the New Mexico Medical Board does require this practitioner to obtain a telemedicine license (or a full New Mexico medical license).
Telemedicine visits should be an interactive HIPAA compliant telecommunication system and must include both interactive audio and video and be delivered on a real-time basis at the originating and distant sites. Please see NMAC 8.310.2.
For telemedicine services, when the originating-site is in New Mexico and the distant-site is outside New Mexico, the provider at the distant-site must be licensed for telemedicine to the extent required by New Mexico state law and regulations or meet federal requirements for providing services to IHS facilities or tribal contract facilities. Provision of telemedicine services does not require that a certified medicaid healthcare provider be physically present with the MAP eligible recipient at the originating site unless the telemedicine consultant at the distant site deems it necessary.
