Medical Assistance Division: NMAC Eligibility Rule Manual

Individuals become eligible for Centennial Care, New Mexico’s Medicaid Program, when they meet the specific criteria for one of the Medicaid eligibility categories. The links below give basic information about these eligibility categories. The actual process of determining eligibility is complex because numerous financial and non-financial factors are considered.

Regulations for Centennial Care are promulgated by the Human Services Department and Medical Assistance Division. The Department’s Income Support Division offices make eligibility determinations for Medicaid, except for those categories administered by the Children, Youth and Families Department, the Social Security Administration, and the Premium Assistance programs.

For more information on eligibility please read Eligibility Pamphlet

The NMAC rule numbers can also be looked up on the NM Administrative Code website
