New Mexico Ties Behavioural Health Funding to Performance Measures

  • Senate Bill 3, the Behavioral Health Reform and Investment Act, was signed on February 27, 2025 as Chapter 3 of that year's laws. It created a behavioral health executive committee, chaired by the director of the Health Care Authority's Behavioral Health Services Division, that designates behavioural health regions, approves a plan for each region, sets funding strategy and tracks deliverables and spending, reporting to the Legislative Finance Committee every quarter.

    Each regional plan must give a timeline and performance measures for every funding priority, with a plan for building data collection and infrastructure. The Health Care Authority sets baseline data collection points, and from June 30, 2027 each region reports every year on implementation and on available performance measure data. Providers that receive money under the Act must take part in regional meetings, submit annual reports and share relevant data on request, and grants can be redirected if they are not meeting the plan's performance measures.

    The Act measures programs, not individual symptoms, and it does not name a clinical scale. Data a provider can share still starts with what happens for each client. HiBoop sends validated scales such as the PHQ-9 and PCL-5, scores them on submission and charts change for every client, with exports you can draw on for regional reports. It does not report to the Health Care Authority or to a region.

What HiBoop Offers New Mexico Teams

  • New Mexico is reorganizing behavioural health around regions, plans and measures, with Medicaid as the main payer. HiBoop collects and scores the scales so your clinicians can focus on what the results mean.

  • A Scored Starting Point

    Send the PHQ-9, GAD-7 or PCL-5 before a first appointment so each client's care begins with a recorded baseline.

  • Client Change Over Time

    Repeat the same scale through treatment and each result joins one chart per client, so your team can see who is improving. The numbers support clinical judgement and do not replace it.

  • Data You Can Share

    Export score histories as CSV or PDF when a regional entity, funder or plan asks for data, or for your own program review. A full account export is there whenever you need it.

  • Co-Occurring Needs

    Depression, trauma and substance use scales sit side by side, including the PCL-5 for PTSD and the TAPS for tobacco, alcohol and drug use, for caseloads where these overlap.

  • Clinics in Many Communities

    Team and Network plans connect clinicians across sites in one account, and role-based access limits each person to the clients they work with.

  • School-Based and Youth Services

    For school-based health centres and youth programs, HiBoop includes the PHQ-A, the SCARED and the CRAFFT-2.1.

Research from New Mexico

  • Collaborative care, PHQ-9 and PCL-5

    In the CLARO trial in 18 primary care clinics in California and New Mexico, 797 adults with probable opioid use disorder and depression and/or PTSD were randomized; at 6 months, collaborative care did not differ significantly from enhanced usual care on PHQ-9 or PCL-5 scores, and both groups improved from baseline.

    Watkins et al., JAMA Internal Medicine, 2026 PMID 41460640

  • Suicidality with co-occurring conditions

    Among 797 adults in 17 primary care clinics in New Mexico and California who screened positive for opioid use disorder and depression and/or PTSD, those with all three conditions reported more severe symptoms and a higher probability of suicidality.

    Komaromy et al., BMC Primary Care, 2026 PMID 41735843

  • Peripartum depression screening

    Among 1,453 low-income Healthy Start participants in a New Mexico county on the U.S.-Mexico border screened with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale from 2009 to 2017, 16.4% screened positive for depression.

    de la Rosa et al., Women's Health Reports, 2021 PMID 34235508

  • Behavioural health in school-based health centres

    Across 59 school-based health centres in New Mexico secondary schools in 2011-2012, 42.4% of 26,379 adolescent visits were for behavioural health, and American Indian students had higher odds of behavioural health visits than other groups.

New Mexico's Behavioural Health Reform

  • HiBoop is independent of the Health Care Authority, the courts and the bodies below, and does not connect to state systems. This is the structure your region and payers are building.

  • Behavioral Health Executive Committee

    SB 3, 2025

    The committee brings together the Health Care Authority secretary, the directors of its Behavioral Health Services and Medical Assistance divisions, the director of the Administrative Office of the Courts and three behavioural health experts. It designates regions, approves regional plans, sets funding strategy, tracks deliverables and spending, and meets at least quarterly under the Open Meetings Act.

    RegionsRegional plansQuarterly reports

  • Regional Plans and Measures

    Annual from 2027

    Regional plans are built through regional meetings and sequential intercept mapping. Each plan names no more than five grant or state-funded priorities per phase, with a timeline, performance measures, a feasibility analysis and a sustainability plan. Money under the Act may fund grants of up to four years that require annual reports evaluating the effectiveness of services delivered.

    Performance measuresSequential intercept mappingGrants up to four years

  • Standards and Evaluation Guidelines

    Evidence-based

    The Health Care Authority supplies generally recognized standards for behavioural health services, drawn from clinical practice guidelines and professional and federal recommendations, and works with the Legislative Finance Committee on evaluation guidelines, including methods for judging promising practices. It confirms whether each service in a regional plan meets those guidelines and audits funded contracts and grantees.

  • Medicaid and the Single State Authority

    Health Care Authority

    The Behavioral Health Services Division remains New Mexico's single state authority for adult behavioural health, and the Health Care Authority remains the designated agency for Medicaid, which the Act calls the primary payer of behavioural health services. By June 30, 2027, the Authority must set up a universal behavioural health provider enrolment and credentialing process for Medicaid.

Care Teams Across New Mexico

  • HiBoop runs in a web browser, so a clinic in Albuquerque and a provider serving a frontier county use the same check-ins.

  • Albuquerque and the Middle Rio Grande

    University of New Mexico researchers took part in the CLARO trial of collaborative care, run in primary care clinics in New Mexico and California.

  • Santa Fe and the North

    Northern practices with offices in several towns can share one scale library and client list on a Team plan.

  • Las Cruces and the Border

    In one New Mexico border county, Healthy Start caseworkers screened 1,453 pregnant and recently pregnant women for depression between 2009 and 2017.

  • Farmington and the Four Corners

    Clinicians covering long distances in the northwest can pair telehealth with scales clients complete at home.

  • Eastern Plains

    From Clovis to Hobbs, email check-ins between visits spare clients long drives to appointments.

  • School-Based Health Centres

    In a statewide study of 59 secondary-school health centres, 42.4% of 26,379 adolescent visits were for behavioural health.

  • Tribal Nations and Pueblos

    SB 3 names Indian nations, tribes and pueblos among the behavioural health stakeholders in regional planning, and in a statewide study American Indian students used school-based health centres for behavioural health at higher odds than their peers.

Data Sharing and Privacy for New Mexico Providers

  • HIPAA is the national standard for health information. New Mexico's reform adds reporting and data-sharing duties for providers that receive funding under the Act. None of this certifies software. The obligations are your organization's, and HiBoop provides tools to help with them.

  • What New Mexico asks of funded providers

    • Take part in regional meetings, help develop the relevant parts of the regional plan, submit annual reports based on it and share relevant data when a legislative interim committee, the Administrative Office of the Courts or the Health Care Authority asks (SB 3, Section 4)
    • Expect regular monitoring and audits of contracts and grants to check that service quality standards are met and that funds are used as agreed (SB 3, Section 10)
    • Expect a grant that is not meeting the performance measures in its regional plan to be open to redirection to another priority in the region (SB 3, Section 6)
    • Share client information only as HIPAA allows, with a business associate agreement for each vendor that handles protected health information

  • What HiBoop provides

    • A business associate agreement for HIPAA covered entities

Measurement-based care

…starts with what we measure, and how long.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does New Mexico require measurement-based care?

    Not as a clinical rule. SB 3 requires performance measures for each funding priority in a regional plan, annual regional reports with performance data from 2027, and data sharing by providers that receive funds under the Act. It does not name a symptom scale or require outpatient clinicians to use one. Your Medicaid plan, grant agreement or region may set specific measures, so check those.

  • We receive money under SB 3. What data might we be asked for?

    The Act requires funded stakeholders to submit annual reports based on the regional plan and to share relevant data when a legislative interim committee, the Administrative Office of the Courts or the Health Care Authority asks. The Authority sets the baseline data collection points. HiBoop's CSV and PDF exports let you supply client-level score data in whatever form you decide to share.

  • Will HiBoop report to the Health Care Authority or our region?

    No. HiBoop has no connection to state or regional systems. It sends and scores validated scales, charts each client's results and exports them, and your team decides what to report.

  • Is HiBoop HIPAA compliant for New Mexico providers?

    Yes. HiBoop is HIPAA compliant and signs a business associate agreement with covered entities. Sharing data with a region or the state still has to follow HIPAA and any other law that applies to you, so confirm the specifics with your counsel.
