New Mexico Health Connections 2020


New Mexico Health Connections 2020! 
 Here are some changes you need to know:
  • New Mexico Health Connections (NMHC) is no longer working with True Health New Mexico (THNM) as their TPA. As their TPA THNM has managed NMHC's back of the house items and their network.
  • Instead they have hired a Colorado company called Friday Health Plans to be their TPA and manage their network. 
Due to this there is Good news and Bad news.
Bad news first:
  • NMHC's network will be different and changing. Mainly their providers.
Good news:
  • NMHC's will still work with Lovelace and UNM hospitals.
  • Because THNM is no longer the TPA for NMHC's they have decided that they are going to start their own Individual Health Insurance plan in 2020.
    • They are taking their network which we have always know as NMHC's with them. So, if you want the same exact network you have had with NMHC's we will most likely want to check out True Health New Mexico's offerings at this open enrollment. 
    • This is fantastic in a way as it creates more competition. 
Based upon all this above news NMHC's is still strong as ever!
Their TPA partner Friday Health Plans is a great carrier which I work with in Denver area as well. They are a strong and smart company when it comes to providing care to their customers. So, I am anticipating their customer service will be better than ever. 

Now lets look at the 2020  New Mexico Health Connections plans!

What to expect:
  • NMHC's has sent out a renewal kit. If you wish to keep the same plan you can return the re-enrollment paperwork back to me via email or fax and I will get to the insurance carrier on your behalf! (Or let me know you sent it off)
  • If you are not sure if you want to renew quite yet then I encourage you to book an appointment with me.
  • Once appointment is booked we will talk about 2020 options and I can share with you the new THNM plans and all the other carriers in New Mexico for 2020.

Open Enrollment season will only be from November 1st, 2019 to December 15th, 2019. 

Since our Open Enrollment is short it is paramount that you book an appointment with me ASAP.
Even if you are satisfied with your current plan I encourage you to set up an appointment with me. As carriers always have the opportunity to change their plans and adjust their rates.
  • If you are an ON EXCHANGE member dealing with healthcare.gov. You MUST book an appointment with me! Your plan will not roll over you MUST reselect the health plan that you want to move forward with in 2020. 
  • If you are OFF EXCHANGE the carrier will be sending you the new 2020 rates and plans soon. 

Call or text me with any questions or concerns @ 505-280-5830. 
Have a great day!
