New Mexico Medicaid ¡Salud! Program

¡Salud! Combined Prior Authorization Request Form - The three New Mexico ¡Salud! managed care organizations have agreed upon a common prior authorization request form. For now, this form must be downloaded, printed, completed and faxed to the appropriate MCO. NMMS has requested that the MCOs also accept this information electronically. If one or more MCOs agree, we will post an online version of this form here as well. The form is an MS Word document, saved in a file format which will work on all versions from Win95 onwards. Click here to download the PA Form

The ¡Salud! Comparative Formulary is unfortunately no longer available online in regular Web format. It can be downloaded as an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file*. This may take up to several minutes to download, depending on your connection speed. Download ¡Salud! Comparative Formulary. (Current as of December, 2000.)

* You must have Adobe Acrobat reader software to view the PDF file. This is available for all operating systems as a free download from Adobe. (Clicking on the 'Adobe' link in the preceeding sentence will open up the Acrobat download page in a new window. When you're done downloading, this page you're reading now will still be open on your computer.)

NOTE: The New Mexico Medical Society is providing the ¡Salud! Comparative Formulary as a service, on behalf of the New Mexico Human Services Department. NMMS makes no warrant as to the accuracy of any information provided in these documents. The link above is actually to a file being maintained by New Mexico Medicaid Drug Utilization Review at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. We wish to gratefully acknowledge the DUR program for doing the work to make this PDF file available for public use.

Please direct any questions regarding the content of this document to the ¡Salud! service providers (telephone numbers are included in the Introduction section of the formulary).
