Beyond internet: How New Mexico is helping seniors and others not online get vaccinated Algernon D Ammassa, Las Cruces Sun-News
LAS CRUCES – Wilson Holman, 71, received his second dose of COVID-19 vaccine this past week, along with his wife, but they did not get any of their information online. My wife does a little bit of internet, but not much and I don t at all, he said Friday.
The Las Cruces couple was assisted by their son in registering on the state s online COVID-19 vaccine registry and confirming their appointments, both of which took place at the city s convention center.
Through the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, the state health department has made extensive use of web-based platforms to disseminate necessary information about the health emergency, gather information for scheduling vaccinations and reporting data on the disease s spread as well as vaccination progress.

4 days ago The Tenth Circuit on Monday upheld the District of New Mexico’s decision to grant summary judgment to the health insurance provider defendants in an antitrust suit brought by a New Mexico physician practice.
The litigation began in 2012 when New Mexico Oncology and Hematology Consultants Ltd. (NMOHC) brought Sherman Act, state antitrust, and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act claims against the defendants, Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS), Presbyterian Network Inc., Presbyterian Health Plans Inc. (PHP), and Presbyterian Insurance Co. None of the claims survived past the district court, but the plaintiff appealed only its Sherman Act claims of monopolization and attempted monopolization.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit yesterday affirmed a district court decision rejecting an Albuquerque physician practice’s claims that Presbyterian Healthcare Services engaged in exclusionary or anticompetitive conduct under the Sherman Act. The AHA in September filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of that decision.
“Vertically integrated health care delivery systems offer the promise of managing complex care for patients over large populations in a cost efficient manner,” AHA wrote. “The district court recognized this when it granted summary judgment for defendants and sent the parties out to compete in the market to determine what model of patient care best suits the needs of the population in New Mexico.”
