Presbyterian Healthcare Services, one of New Mexico’s largest health care systems, is laying off 150 employees in health plan and administrative roles as it prepares to stop offering most of its Medicare Advantage plans in 2027. The Albuquerque-based nonprofit said direct patient care positions will not be affected and that it is still trying to fill about 870 clinical jobs across its hospitals and clinics. Presbyterian said leaving most of the Medicare Advantage market will allow it to focus more resources on patient care, staffing and access, while current members will keep their coverage through the existing plan year and the organization will continue offering its Dual Plus Special Needs Plan.

Everyone is focused on the closures in Texas and Illinois offices, but Albuquerque’s situation is interesting. They closed one office within the last few months but shifted everyone to Alexander, does that mean Albuquerque is actually safe, or is that just a temporary pit stop?
