Summary
The bill mandates that New Hampshire health carriers create a department‑approved program covering a broad range of non‑medication, non‑surgical and non‑opioid treatments for chronic pain. Insurers must inform patients and providers about the program and cannot require prior authorization or stricter controls for these services. The aim is to expand safe pain‑management options and reduce reliance on opioids.
