Opportunity Overview
The New Mexico Health Care Authority has opened RFA 27-630-8000-0037, Ob/Gyn Services in Northwest New Mexico, a $1 million funding opportunity intended to expand Medicaid obstetric and gynecologic services and related infrastructure in Cibola, McKinley, San Juan, Valencia and Catron counties.
Funding and Deadline
Total funding available: $1,000,000. Applications are due September 10, 2026 at 11:00 PM Mountain Time. Funding is available from October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Eligibility and Geography
The opportunity is for Medicaid-enrolled providers serving Medicaid members in the five eligible northwest New Mexico counties. Applicants must satisfy the controlling RFA and amendment requirements for the proposed Ob/Gyn service model and related infrastructure.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 97/100. The program directly targets a documented maternal-health access gap in rural and underserved northwest New Mexico and is highly relevant to eligible health systems, clinics and Medicaid providers.
N9+ Fit Score: 92/100. Amendment guidance reported for this RFA indicates that telehealth Ob/Gyn services can qualify when the patient is located in an eligible county and that entirely new Ob/Gyn services may be established. That creates a strong, legitimate use case for the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform to support guided examinations, vitals and telehealth-enabled clinical encounters. Atlas still requires applicant-specific confirmation that the proposed N9+ device, platform, implementation and related costs are allowable under the final budget and procurement rules.
Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: not advanced. The applicant must be an eligible Medicaid provider serving the covered population. The stronger path is Dr. Miltie/N9+ as a technology or implementation partner to an eligible clinical applicant.
Current Status
Closed. The controlling application deadline of September 10, 2026 at 11:00 PM Mountain Time has passed. Atlas will not initiate new outreach or submission activity for this cycle. The record is retained for award, extension, reopening and successor-round monitoring. HCA’s Open RFPs index still displays the RFA document, so Atlas is treating the controlling deadline rather than index placement as authoritative for status.
