WHY CHOOSE NEW MEXICO HEALTH CONNECTIONS? New Mexico Health Connections (NMHC) is a non-profit health plan built by New Mexicans, for New Mexicans. Our focus is on individuals and small businesses—especially the uninsured. • NMHC is a Consumer Operated and Oriented Health Plan, or CO-OP. As a CO-OP, NMHC members will have a say in how we run our business—advising on benefit design, premium structure, and the provider network. In addition, our members will have the opportunity to become a part of our Board of Directors. • NMHC focuses on New Mexico communities by establishing and fostering relationships with community organizations and leveraging the services that they provide to share with our members. As a non-profit health plan, we feel it is our responsibility to serve as a community asset. • As a non-profit health plan, NMHC is mission-driven rather than profitdriven. Any profits we make must be reinvested into specific things such as programs intended to improve the quality of health care delivered to our members, and member benefits. • We believe in supporting the health of our members by emphasizing the importance of preventive care. • Most importantly—our philosophy revolves around removing barriers to care. • Innovation drives us. We have no legacy costs, and no large administrative staff or salaries. Nor do we have large corporate brick and mortar facilities to fund, or outof-state headquarters to answer to —which translates to an increased ability to invest in quality outcomes with our provider groups, reducing costs to our members. – All of our plans have no copay for generic medications for 9 chronic conditions: Hypertension, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, and Asthma. • NMHC is building for the healthcare of the future, rather than building on the healthcare infrastructure of the past. – We have no copay for the first 3 outpatient Behavioral Health visits, and no copay for most generic behavioral health medications.
