New HampshireState gives yearly plan reports to employers who authorize claims sharing
Starting August 18, 2026, employers with self-funded health plans can access yearly summaries of plan use if they authorize claims data sharing in writing.
What it does
Starting August 18, 2026, employers that authorize sharing their self-funded plans' claims data in writing can access yearly reports on plan use that do not identify people.
Argument forYearly reports could help employers see how their health plans are used without showing them individual workers' claims.
Argument againstSending health claims to the state system could worry workers about privacy, even though the reports employers receive do not identify individuals.

An employer must authorize submission of its plan's claims data in writing. The report must combine claims data and leave out information that identifies people. Employers do not have to submit the data themselves. The requirement takes effect August 18, 2026.
