Job Description

Attorneys in the 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.

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?
Attorneys in OCG work directly and collaboratively with their internal division clients. The clients include the Office of the Secretary and the various divisions within HCA: Medical Assistance, Income Support, Child Support, Health Improvement, Developmental Disabilities Supports, Behavioral Health Services, Health Improvement, Healthcare Coverage Innovations, Administrative Services, Information Technology, and Human Resources. All attorneys in OGC are supervised by the HCA Chief General Counsel, Rose Bryan.

Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate is passionate about supporting the health and well-being of all New Mexicans and protecting our State's safety net services. While attorneys directly serve internal agency clients, they must never forget they are ultimately serving the citizens of the state of New Mexico. A background in health law is helpful but not a necessity if you have strong skills and experiences in other areas and are excited to learn new subject matter. Strong research, technology, organizational, and client communication skills are a must.
