Health Net Federal scores N.M. VA contract

The New Mexico Veterans Affairs Health Care System has tapped Health Net Federal Services to provide primary and preventive health services to an estimated 1,000 veterans in a newly established VA contract community-based outpatient clinic in Taos, N.M.

The new facility is anticipated to open on Oct. 3, according to Health Net, of Rancho Cordova, Calif.

“Health Net is pleased to partner with NMVAHCS to offer primary care, mental health and other specialty services to veterans in the Taos community,” said Donna Hoffmeier, Health Net’s vice president and VA program executive. “The new clinic will offer telemedicine technologies in addition to personalized health services designed to help meet the needs of veterans enrolled in the clinic.”
