Prohibition on State-Based Health Exchange; Guidelines for Interaction With Federally-Facilitated Health Exchange

The law prohibits any state agency or entity in the state of New Hampshire from creating or participating in a state-based health insurance exchange.  However, state agencies may interact with the federal government to create a federally-facilitated exchange for the state.  State activity to create a federally-facilitated exchange must:

  • Preserve private delivery of health care;
  • Minimize overhead and administrative costs;
  • Promote competition and choice by allowing all eligible health plans to be certified to be offered on the exchange;
  • Preserve the state’s insurance regulatory authority and state flexibility in determining Medicaid eligibility.
