NH Insurance Department Issues Updated List of Health Care Provider Networks

2015 Marketplace Will Offer Five Insurers and More Plans

Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Insurance Department has updated its listing of health care provider networks that will be available through 2015 insurance plans sold on the federally facilitated New Hampshire Health Insurance Marketplace. This is a welcome upgrade from last year, when NH had the distinction of having the fewest insurers in the federal marketplace.

Five insurance companies will offer 2015 plans to New Hampshire residents through the Marketplace in New Hampshire:
  • Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield; 
  • Assurant Health (Time); 
  • Harvard Pilgrim Health Care; 
  • Maine Community Health Options; and 
  • Minuteman Health.
 “New Hampshire residents will have a variety of networks and plan designs to choose from when they visit HealthCare.gov beginning November 15,” said New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny.

The network information is available on the Insurance Department website at this link.

People who wish to determine whether a particular doctor is included in any health care provider network should visit the insurance company’s website to view a more detailed list. New Hampshire residents are encouraged to contact the Insurance Department’s Consumer Services division at (603) 271-2261 with any questions.
