The New Mexico Human Services Department has transitioned the Behavioral Health Services Division information to a new website at yes.nm.com, the first phase of New Mexico’s Unified Portal project. According to a new release, “the new site is designed to be user-friendly and consumer-oriented to be used as a one-stop shop portal for New Mexicans to learn about, apply for, and manage their health and human services benefits. Customers will eventually be able to have access to apply for or renew services such as Medicaid, behavioral health, child support, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. In addition, customers will be able to access their benefit enrollment information, application assistance, and tailored referrals across New Mexico’s health and human services agencies without having to navigate multiple systems.” The unified portal is set to be completed by March 2023.
