NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Open enrollment for New Mexico's health insurance marketplace, BeWell, begins in November, but BeWell says changes are coming. A new federal rule has changed eligibility requirements, and DACA recipients will no longer be covered through state marketplaces at the end of the month.
But the New Mexico Health Care Authority says it developed a coverage bridge initiative to keep DACA recipients covered through the end of the year. Those people need to apply for it through their insurer. "We fully expect because of these constant changes, it's going to be confusing, and it's going to feel like, 'I'm not really sure what to do.' Let us help you for free. It doesn't matter if you don't qualify for beWell. We will get you to the right place," said Chief Experience Officer Alex
