Benefit Assoc

The Association was created pursuant to the order of the New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner with the purpose of supporting the State's individual health plan programs. The primary purpose of the Association is to protect the residents of New Hampshire who participate in the individual health insurance market by providing a mechanism to equitably distribute the excess risk associated with this market. The Association's membership consists, by statute, of all insurers licensed to transact health insurance in the State of New Hampshire that offer policies for major medical coverage of an expense-incurred basis and all licensed hospitals, medical service corporations, or other organizers, if any, in the state that offer subscriber contacts for major medical coverage.
