How the NewMexicoDoc visit works

The NewMexicoDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A New Mexico-licensed physician (NM) reviews whether cholesterol management is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in New Mexico. That prescription is not a referral to an El Paso or Arizona clinic across the state line.

Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.

What happens next

If you want to know whether cholesterol management is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. NewMexicoDoc does not guarantee a prescription.

Do I have to start a statin?
No. The clinician explains risk and options. Shared decision-making applies.
Is cholesterol management available by telehealth in New Mexico?
Adults who can complete a medical evaluation by telehealth may be treated when a New Mexico-licensed physician (NM) decides it is appropriate. Controlled substances and some conditions follow stricter rules. NewMexicoDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
Who reviews my consultation?
A licensed clinician reviews your intake and any labs. NewMexicoDoc uses clinicians licensed in New Mexico. Unlicensed or offshore reviewers do not make the prescribing decision.
Will insurance cover this visit?
Coverage varies by plan. Ask your carrier about telehealth benefits. Itemized receipts can be used for HSA, FSA, or out-of-network reimbursement when your plan allows.
