What is different about coverage in New Hampshire
New Hampshire Medicaid is run by the Department of Health and Human Services, and New Hampshire residents shop for ACA plans through the federal HealthCare.gov site. New Hampshire Health Insurance's phone help for New Hampshire callers -- Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage -- costs nothing.
- New Hampshire DHHS handles Medicaid eligibility -- call the DHHS Customer Service Center at 1-844-275-3447 for applications or changes.
- New Hampshire has no state-run ACA exchange, so plan comparisons and subsidy questions go through the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace.
- ServiceLink, New Hampshire's Aging and Disability Resource Center, runs the state's free SHIP Medicare counseling at 1-866-634-9412, separate from New Hampshire Health Insurance's own free phone help.
Worth knowing: New Hampshire folds its Medicare counseling into ServiceLink, the same statewide Aging and Disability Resource Center network that also handles long-term-care planning and other aging services -- one call can cover a Medicare plan question and a broader aging-services referral.

Where do I shop for ACA health plans in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire residents shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace) (https://www.healthcare.gov/new-hampshire/). An independent agent such as Lander LLC can explain the plans for you, but the marketplace is the only place premium tax credits are applied.
How do I apply for Medicaid in New Hampshire?
Medicaid in New Hampshire is run through New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) (https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/programs-services/medicaid). Eligibility depends on income, household size and other factors, and it is decided by the state, not by an insurance agency.
Who regulates insurance in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire Insurance Department (https://www.nh.gov/insurance) regulates insurance companies and agents in New Hampshire. You can use it to check that an agent or company is licensed and to file a complaint.
Is there free, unbiased Medicare help in New Hampshire?
Yes. ServiceLink (New Hampshire SHIP) (1-866-634-9412) offers free Medicare counseling through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), separate from any insurance agency.
Does New Hampshire Health Insurance cost anything to use?
There is no cost to call or to speak with an agent. Insurance premiums and plan costs are set by the insurance companies and are separate from our help.
