If approved by the federal government, Centennial Care, the state’s proposed comprehensive Medicaid program, will replace numerous other programs previously used to provide Medicaid services to New Mexicans.

UNMH officials said that they will wait and see if the program gets approved before continuing with its development plans, according to the report.
