Summary

The bill creates the New Hampshire Children’s Behavioral Health Association, a nonprofit that will collect assessments from insurers, stop‑loss carriers and third‑party administrators covering children under 19. The money collected is placed in a dedicated fund to pay care‑management entities that provide intensive in‑home, outpatient, care‑coordination and peer‑support services. It targets privately insured children whose care is not paid for by Medicaid.
