• Reports, New Mexico Health Access Survey, and Briefs

In the context of OSI’s implementation of its regulatory responsibilities in insurance and healthcare policy, as well as its response to requests from members of the legislature to study and evaluate specific health policies, OSI has produced policy-oriented studies that provide New Mexico-specific evaluations of several healthcare and health insurance issues. The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance makes this material available to interested parties to inform ongoing work and to avoid duplication of effort on previously studied issues.

In 2023 OSI contracted the University of New Mexico, Center for Social Policy to administer the first New Mexico Health Access Survey (NMHAS) to address the state to have state-specific information on New Mexicans’ access to healthcare services, the percentage of the population with health insurance, public perception of the affordability, access, and quality of the services they receive. While there are national surveys that address these issues, proportional sampling for sub-state-level coverage is limited in the context of national surveys, and data for this sub-state level may be unreliable.

These reports were prepared by independent contractors, and the Office of the Superintendent of Insurance provides them for informational purposes only. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed herein are those of the contractors and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions of the Office of Superintendent of Insurance. The agency does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information presented.

For  questions or clarifications or for requesting access to the survey full data set, please contact Sahar Hassanin, OSI Chief Economist at: sahar.Hassanin@osi.nm.gov, phone: 505-372-8460

Using the NMHAS, OSI produced the first two briefs related to the health insurance coverage and New Mexicans’ access and utilization of healthcare services. Periodically, OSI will utilize this platform to make available data/policy briefs related to OSI’s health insurance and health care services regulatory portfolio.
