NURSING HOME MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT
SB 97 would provide $19.7 million in state funding to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing homes in New Mexico for fiscal year 2026. This direct funding, sourced from the general fund and administered by the Health Care Authority, aims to raise payments to nursing homes that care for Medicaid patients. Any unspent funds at the end of fiscal year 2026 would revert to the general fund. The bill was referred to committees and passed a committee report but was later postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025.
