LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

The Health Care Authority’s mission is: We ensure that New Mexicans attain their highest level of health by providing whole-person, cost-effective, accessible, and high-quality health care and safety-net services.

DDW – Services and Supports

The DD Waiver program provides an array of residential, in home, community, employment, therapeutic and family support services for children and adults. The DD Waiver is funded with state general funds appropriated by the New Mexico State Legislature and is matched with federal funds from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DD Waiver services are intended to add to, not replace, other supports a person has like medical services through New Mexico’s Medicaid State Plan, natural supports and other community services.

Service Standards

DDSD has standards to guide service delivery and promote the health and safety of individuals served by DDW Provider Agencies.

All Provider Agencies must have a contract with the Department of Health to provide DDW services and must comply with all applicable standards.
