Executing New Mexico’s Blueprints for a Reimagined Medicaid Program

a transformational journey from replacement to reinvention, the New Mexico Medicaid Management Information System Replacement (MMISR) program is reimagining its Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) with a modular solution, aligned with guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It is part of New Mexico’s Health and Human Services 2020 (HHS 2020) initiative, which aims to establish a highly responsive and effective system atic approach to service delivery to improve the health and well-being of all New Mexicans. With approximately 43 percent of New Mexico's popula tion covered by Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as of July 2024, the largest percentage for a state population in the United States, the implications of this transformation are significant.
