SANTE FE, N.M. (AP) - More change is coming to New Mexico’s network of behavioral health providers.
New Mexico Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott confirms that an Arizona-based nonprofit will stop serving indigent patients in eastern New Mexico at the end of March.
The Santa Fe New Mexican (https://goo.gl/qwvpkR ) reports that Turquois Health and Wellness offers mental health services to Medicaid patients in Carlsbad, Roswell, Clovis and Tucumcari.
Turquoise was added to the state’s network in 2013 as part of a network shake-up by Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration.
Kennicott says the private contractors paid by the state to administer Medicaid behavioral health programs are responsible for finding providers to take over the client load being dropped by Turquoise.
