Federal law and regulations provide protections against preexisting condition exclusions in health insurance coverage.  Health plans must permit New Mexicans to enroll regardless of health status, age, gender, or other factors that may predict the use of health services. With the special enrollment period, the New México health insurance companies participating in the beWellnm marketplace include: Ambetter from Western Sky Community, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico, Friday Health Plans, Molina Health Care of New México and True Health New México
Financial help is also available to New Mexicans who qualify.  A premium subsidy helps pay for health insurance, and the amount is based on income, family size and other related factors.
The BeWellnm team of certified navigators, enrollment counselors, agents, brokers and staff services are free.  They are always available to help those in need review and explain their health insurance options through telephone assistance or virtual appointments at (833) 862-3935 or online by visiting beWellnm.com.
