SB550

Relative to insurance coverage for services provided by naturopathy providers.

Complete·7/9/26

New Hampshire SB550 requires insurance coverage for naturopathic medicine services on par with other health services.

New Hampshire SB550 amends RSA 415:18-w to mandate that insurers offering group or blanket accident or health insurance must cover naturopathic medicine services if they would cover similar services by other health care providers. The coverage must adhere to the insurer's standards for medical necessity, credentialing, and payment. The bill ensures that naturopathic services are not subject to higher co-payments, deductibles, or coinsurance than other similar benefits. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
