HOME HEALTH SERVICE DISTANCE LIMITATIONS

Summary

The memorial asks the New Mexico Health Care Authority to reevaluate the rule that restricts home health agencies to serving patients only within 100 miles of their licensed location. It targets agencies serving sparsely populated, remote, and tribal communities, especially those affected by radiation exposure from uranium mining. The goal is to reduce barriers and expand access to needed skilled nursing and therapy services.
