On behalf of the New Mexico Health Care Authority, we are sharing their response to a Jan. 27, 2025, memo from the Federal Office of Management and Budget:
“We understand that the memo released by the Federal Office of Management and Budget on Jan. 27 has created concern among HCA customers, community partners, health care providers, tribal communities, families and the general public. The HCA is closely monitoring developments and assessing any potential impacts on those we serve.
We want to reassure our customers, providers, families, tribal communities and the public that the services, benefits and programs administered by the HCA remain operational and available to those in need.
The OMB has clarified that programs such as Medicaid and SNAP will continue without interruption.
Additionally, Yes.nm.gov remains available for New Mexicans to apply for, renew and manage their benefits. The New Mexico Provider Enrollment portal and the Medicaid provider claims payment portal are fully functional and provider claims are being processed.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to monitor this evolving situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your trust and the opportunity to serve you.”
