The New Mexico Department of Health has designated cancer as a
reportable disease in New Mexico (New Mexico Administrative Code: Title 7;
Chapter 4; Part 3 ). The NMTR is the agency designated to conduct public
health surveillance for cancer in New Mexico. The Health Insurance and
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) allows for confidential records
to be disclosed for the purposes of public health surveillance (HIPAA §
164.512).
