SANTA FE, N.M. – The House of Representatives has unanimously approved seven interstate medical compact proposals, streamlining healthcare provider licensing across states. Speaker of the House Javier Martinez said lawmakers promised to approve these bills within the first 10 days of the session, and they delivered with a day to spare. Interstate medical compacts allow healthcare providers in one state to treat patients in another participating state, like New Mexico. Health care advocates emphasize that joining interstate compacts is only part of the solution, calling for medical malpractice reforms to retain doctors in New Mexico.
