Chamber Passed·3/17/26

New Hampshire HB1554 mandates insurance carriers to offer peer-to-peer reviews at any stage of prior authorization and require disclosure of reviewer.

New Hampshire HB1554 amends insurance regulations to require carriers to provide peer-to-peer reviews at any stage of prior authorization. This means insured individuals or their providers can request a review by a qualified physician, regardless of whether an appeal has been initiated. The insurer must honor such requests and schedule the review within five business days. The bill also mandates that insurers disclose the reviewer's full name, licensure type, and National Provider Identifier before the review begins.
