Health Specialists of New Mexico is Participating in a New Program to Enhance Your Care: Making Care Primary


Making Care Primary

An innovative healthcare payment program that aims to improve your care experience.

Giving Doctors Extra Support to Help You Get Better Care

Our goal has always been to provide you with the highest quality of care. Through the Making Care Primary program, we will receive additional resources from Medicare and other health insurance companies to enhance our work and provide you with the best quality, patient-centered care.


More Information for Patients with Original Medicare

As part of this program, Medicare will share some of your personal health information with us, such as when you receive care at hospitals, emergency departments, and specialist offices. This will give us a more complete picture of your health and allow us to better coordinate your care.

If you want to stop Medicare from sharing this information, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048.


Please note:
Your Medicare benefits are not changing. This program is intended to enhance the healthcare you receive at Health Specialists of NM. You still have the right to visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, at any time. While your doctor may recommend certain specialists for your specific health needs, the choice of which doctor or hospital to visit is always yours.


Questions?

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Messina Gurrola, Director of Health Specialists, at (505) 798-7271.
