New Mexico Human Services Department Releases Medicaid Sustainability Proposal

?

A Medicaid proposal, ?Centennial Care: Ensuring Care for New Mexicans for the Next 100 Years and Beyond,? which aims to maintain the access and sustainability of a program that more than 550,000 New Mexicans rely on to meet their health care needs, has been announced by Human Services Department (HSD) Secretary Sidonie Squier.

According to an article released in Santa Fe by the New Mexico Human Services Department, the ?Centennial Care? plan modernizes the Medicaid program in New Mexico without eliminating recipients, cutting necessary services, or increasing costs for the providers of those services.

It aligns incentives within the health care system so that all those involved; the state, the health plans, the providers, and the recipients- are working toward the same goal of achieving better health care at less costs.

State-of-the-art practices and techniques are introduced into a single comprehensive system of care and as soon as the new program is implemented, New Mexico will become among the leading states in the design and implementation of a modern, efficient, and effective Medicaid program.
