Achieve health equity by addressing poverty, discrimination, and lack of resources, building a New Mexico where everyone thrives. Implement innovative technology and data-driven decision-making to provide unparalleled, convenient access to services and information. Build the best team in state government by supporting employees' continuous growth and wellness. Why does the job exist? Attorneys in the Health Care Authority (HCA) Office of General Counsel (OGC) support work that touches nearly half of our citizens lives. The divisions of HCA provide programs critical to the health and well-being of our state including Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, behavioral health programs and services, a comprehensive system of support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the licensing and oversight of healthcare facilities as well as home and community-based Medicaid waiver program providers. The range of work performed by the HCA means that OGC attorneys have an opportunity to work in a wide variety of areas of healthcare and public health law including historic innovations and reforms. How does it get done? The specific focus of each attorney will depend on their past experience and the needs of the divisions they are serving. The work within the OGC can span the entire range of attorney skills and functions including litigation in state and federal court, appearing at administrative hearings, contract review, licensing and regulatory enforcement, rule-making, strategy and planning, appellate work, creating procedures to implement new legislative mandates, and public records responses. Attorneys are responsible for tracking their deadlines, managing a variety of matters, and prioritizing their time based on internal client needs. Who are the customers?
