Goal of Annual Hearing & Report

In May 2010, New Hampshire passed RSA 420-G:14-a, V-VII (Chapter 240 of the laws of 2010, an act requiring public hearings concerning health insurance cost increases). In 2014, SB 345 amended Section VI: “The commissioner shall prepare an annual report concerning premium rates in the health insurance market and the factors that have contributed to rate increases during prior years.” The report shall be based on the analysis of information and data, including items such as medical loss ratios, cost of medical care by payment type and insurance premiums by network, among other things.
