LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

The Health Care Authority’s mission is: We ensure that New Mexicans attain their highest level of health by providing whole-person, cost-effective, accessible, and high-quality health care and safety-net services.

Health Facility Regulations

On July 1, 2024, the Division of Health Improvement was transitioned from the Department of Health to the newly established Health Care Authority per SB14 NM State legislature 2023 session. As part of that transfer the new Health Care Authority(HCA) repealed and replaced multiple rules transferring the authority to the newly established HCA. During that process an error was made in promulgating 8.370.3 Health Facility Licensure Fees and Procedures, repealing 7.1.7.NMAC. Unfortunately, the wrong rule was published. This emergency rule repeals the rule in error and replaces it with the correct rule for 8.370.3 NMAC.

These are the rules and regulations for the health facility licensing and certification.
