A New Mexico state committee approved over $40 million in funding plans to restore behavioral health services in rural areas on Friday, August 14, 2026. The funds target rebuilding behavioral health infrastructure across multiple rural regions of the state. The approval comes as part of broader state efforts to restore the behavioral health delivery system. The decision directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries in rural New Mexico who rely on state-funded behavioral health services, as well as providers and managed care plans serving those populations.
