Gettysburg, Pa, May 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPEN MINDS has released an updated suite of Medicaid market intelligence resources on the state of New Mexico. The resources include analysis of the New Mexico’s Medicaid system, Medicaid managed care vendor contracts, and additional state-specific information.
New Mexico’s Medicaid managed care program is called Centennial Care. Three health plans deliver physical health, behavioral health benefits, and long-term services and supports (LTSS) for most populations, including families and children, Medicaid expansion adults, and aged and disabled adults. The health plans are available statewide.
The three health plans were selected during a reprocurement process in 2018. The new contracts went into effect January 1, 2019. Contracts for the three health plans are available for download:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico
- Presbyterian Health Plan
- Western Sky Community Care
The new managed care contract includes a quality withhold of 1.5% to be returned if delivery system improvements are met.
The New Mexico Medicaid Managed Care Contracts are available now for all Elite OPEN MINDS Circle members. Individual contracts may be purchased in the OPEN MINDS shop for $1,500 each.
Additionally, the OPEN MINDS team has four in-depth profiles of the New Mexico state health system:
- New Mexico Health Care System Landscape: An OPEN MINDS State Profile, which provides information on each state’s largest health plans, Medicaid expansion policy, health insurance marketplace plans, demographics, population health insurance coverage by payer, and more.

- New Mexico Behavioral Health System State Profile Report, which provides a comprehensive listing of behavioral health benefits in the state, care coordination programs related to behavioral health, and behavioral health subcontractors for health plans.
