How Humana May Cover Anxiety Treatment in New Mexico

Humana Medicare Advantage plans in New Mexico are governed by federal CMS regulations under 42 CFR Part 422, which requires MA plans to provide mental health benefits at parity with medical benefits under federal MHPAEA. State parity law (NMSA 1978 § 59A-23E-19 et seq.) does not apply to MA plans.

Humana MA plans in New Mexico use Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) for pharmacy benefits. Anxiety medications — including SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, and hydroxyzine — are not controlled substances and generally have more accessible formulary placement.

Prior Authorization: Generic SSRIs and SNRIs used to treat anxiety are typically placed at accessible tiers on HPS formularies. Buspirone and hydroxyzine are generally available at Tier 1 with no PA required. Benzodiazepines are Schedule IV controlled substances and may carry quantity limits under HPS plans. They are not subject to Schedule II electronic prescribing requirements. Verify your specific plan's requirements with Humana or HPS.

Deductible and Copay Context: Cost-sharing for MA anxiety care varies by plan. Telehealth coverage may be available. Contact Humana at 1-800-448-6262 or HPS at 1-877-693-5236 to confirm your specific benefits.
