Find Doctors and Hospitals In Your Network
When you need medical care, research your options first. Here are a few tips to make it easy to find a care provider or medical facility that meets your needs.
Search Provider Finder®
Your health plan works with a group of doctors, specialists and health care facilities. Together, they form your provider network. Before you make an appointment, search our Provider Finder tool to see the doctors and hospitals in your provider network.

Check For Complaints
Visit the New Mexico Medical Board website to see if the doctor or facility you are considering has complaints filed against them.

Make Your Choice
After following these steps, you should have a pretty good idea about the right option for you. Save your research in case you decide to switch to another doctor or hospital later.
Questions To Ask When Choosing a Provider
Contact doctors or hospitals on your list and ask for more information. To get started, here are some questions to ask:
- What is your training and education?
- How long have you been in practice?
- Are you board-certified? (This requires specialty training.)
When researching a potential hospital or facility, consider:
- Is the facility easy to get to when you and a loved one need to visit?
- Does it specialize in treating your health problem? If so, ask about their training and success treating it.
- How many cases like yours are seen there each year? What are the results?
- Does it provide the types of testing you will need?
