Senator Bingaman's health policy analyst interested on pueblos comments on Medicaid

Hi everyone,

We’ve recently spoken with Sandra Wilkness, the new health policy analyst replacing Frederick Isasi in Senator Jeff Bingaman’s office, about the state of the Medicaid redesign and health care reform in New Mexico. When we explained our issues with Centennial Care, she stated that she wasn’t familiar with the issue of moving Native Americans into managed care and that she hadn’t heard anything from the tribes or pueblos. She was said that she’s very interested in hearing about these issues, and it would be good to keep her in the loop about whatever you contact CMS with. They might have some pull with CMS. She can be contacted by email at sandra_wilkniss@bingaman.senate.gov, or by phone in the DC office at (202) 224-5521.

Best,

Quela
