Assistance Available for Members Impacted by Wildfires

Governor of New Mexico Lujan Grisham has declared states of emergency in Colfax, Lincoln, Mora, Sandoval, San Miguel, and Valencia counties due to wind-fueled wildfire activity. These terrible wildfires may have caused Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) members to lose or leave their homes, temporarily relocating to other areas and leaving behind records and documents, prescription drugs, and their usual health care providers.

In collaboration with the Superintendent of Insurance who has issued an Emergency Order, BCBSNM is ready to help by providing the following relief and support. Our Customer Service Representatives are standing by for your call at 1-800-835-8699.
