relative to health carrier network access monitoring.

Summary

The bill mandates that all commercial health insurers in New Hampshire adopt secret‑shopper audits, similar to those used for federal exchange plans, to confirm that in‑network providers are accepting appointments. Insurers must hire an independent firm to run annual surveys and submit the results to the state insurance department, which can levy penalties and require out‑of‑network claim reimbursements if standards are not met. The goal is to improve patients’ ability to get timely care from in‑network doctors.
