New Mexico Premium Assistance

New Mexico Premium Assistance lowers monthly premium payments for most New Mexicans who qualify for federal Premium Tax Credits.

Turquoise Plans

Turquoise Plans give you the most savings on out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.  That puts more money in your pocket, giving you the health care you need at a cost you can afford. You can only get Turquoise plans on beWellnm.com. Click here to see if you may qualify.

Clear Cost Plans

Clear Cost Plans have the same out-of-pocket costs for covered benefits, like primary care and generic medication coverage. That means the consumer does not have to compare each benefit individually, and they can focus on other important factors, such as:

  • Plan Quality: the best benefits for the cost
  • Network Coverage: which providers accept the consumer’s insurance
  • Monthly premium: the monthly amount needed to be paid for health insurance
