New Hampshire SB548 mandates continued access for patients if a health carrier terminates a provider contract.
New Hampshire SB548 amends the Managed Care Law to require health carrier and provider contracts to include a provision ensuring patients have continued access to the provider for 60 days if the contract is terminated for reasons other than unprofessional conduct. The health carrier must notify affected patients within 5 business days of the termination, explaining their continued access rights and whether a public hearing will be held. The commissioner may hold a public hearing to gather information on the potential impact of the termination on access to care in the community.
