From the New Mexico Independent - The state Division of Insurance has secured a $226,000 federal consumer assistance grant to more closely track policyholder complaints and assist consumers who are seeking health insurance coverage. That money comes on the heels of a $1 million federal grant to revamp the Division’s regulation of health insurance rates.
