New Mexico Lawmakers Criticize Slow Rollout of Behavioral Health System Reforms
Bipartisan New Mexico legislators voiced frustration over delays in implementing the state's behavioral health system overhaul during a Monday legislative session. The criticism focuses on the pace of program deployment intended to rebuild behavioral health infrastructure and service delivery. The concerns come amid ongoing challenges in the state's behavioral health network, which affects Medicaid managed care organizations responsible for coordinating behavioral health services for enrollees. The delays may impact MCO network adequacy requirements and care coordination for members with behavioral health needs.
New Mexico's behavioral health system rebuild directly affects MCO network adequacy, provider contracting, and member access to behavioral health services, with potential compliance and quality metric implications.
