NM Consumer Complaint Form

If you think a health care entity may have violated the law relating to your care, or the care of someone you know, please provide as much detail as possible on the complaint form below. When completing the form, please include as much information as possible. Incomplete information may result in our inability to take action. Please understand that not all concerns may be actual violations of the law. In general, incidents older than twelve months do not result in an on-site investigation, though the information is retained in our file. After we have reviewed your information, we will send you an e-mail response explaining the disposition of your complaint.

You may wish to remain anonymous but if you do not provide the necessary contact information, we will not be able to contact you further regarding the complaint. If you wish to know the results of the investigation, please include your name, address, and contact information on the complaint form under the Complainant Information section below. You may skip this section if you wish to remain completely anonymous, but the SA will not be permitted to provide any follow up on the outcome of the complaint and will not be able to contact you for additional information should that be necessary.

For more information, contact the Health Facility Complaints Hotline at 1-800-752-8649 or email Incident.Management@hca.nm.gov
