New Mexico Approves $8M Behavioral Health Plan for Northern Region
New Mexico's behavioral health oversight committee unanimously approved an $8 million plan for the state's northern region on Thursday, the second of 13 regional proposals under development. The committee is overseeing the state's broader effort to rebuild its behavioral health care infrastructure. The approval allows implementation to proceed in the northern region, though the article does not specify an effective date. This action signals continued progress in New Mexico's statewide behavioral health system redesign, which will affect managed care organizations serving Medicaid beneficiaries in the region.
New Mexico MCOs will need to align provider networks and care coordination processes with the approved regional behavioral health infrastructure plan as implementation proceeds.
