House Bill 67 would establish an unpaid primary care council to advise state government and especially the Department of Human Services in finding means to increase New Mexicans’ access to health care while improving their health and controlling the costs of health care. The bill council would consist of members from the Department of Health, the Department of Human Services and the Office of the Superintendent of Insurance; from an organization representing federally qualified health care centers (FQHCs), and five members representing statewide primary care
provider organizations. There would be thirteen advisory non-voting members.
