Taking the Lead in New Mexico Cannabis Litigation
As a behavioral health service, under New Mexico statute effective January 1, 2022, the cost of medical cannabis must be fully covered by insurance—for both Medicaid participants and those that obtained insurance in the private market. On behalf of our clients, we filed a class action lawsuit asking for insurers to do just that. See the media coverage of this exciting lawsuit:
