Medicaid Forward

As directed by the New Mexico legislature in House Bill 400 (2023), the Medicaid Forward report presents results from a study to estimate the impact Medicaid Forward. The Medicaid Forward plan would expand Medicaid eligibility so that health care coverage would be available for most New Mexicans under age 65 who are not otherwise eligible for the existing Medicaid program. This report estimates the impact of such a coverage expansion across several topics, including enrollment in health insurance, the uninsured rate, health care providers, access to care, and State costs and revenue.
