Behavioral Health Program Changes

Effective January 1, 2012, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) implemented changes to the Behavioral Health Program* by introducing the Focused Outpatient Management Program.

This program was developed as a new and innovative way to address the unique aspects of managing behavioral health conditions and treatment, and continue to ensure that members receive medically necessary and appropriate quality behavioral health outpatient care.

If you have any questions, contact your BCBSNM network representative .

*The Behavioral Health program is available only to those members whose health plans include behavioral health benefits through BCBSNM.
