copays

A new, one-of-a-kind law took effect in New Mexico two years ago that did away with behavioral health co-pays for people in certain insurance plans. A new study on the law says results so far are mixed.

You may have heard that New Mexico did away with out-of-pocket costs for behavioral health care. But, despite the way it's been widely billed, the state law only applies to a fraction of the people on health insurance plans in New Mexico.
