NH | In a bid to enhance access to mental health services and streamline coordinated, patient-centered care, the New Hampshire Insurance Department (NHID) has issued a bulletin, Docket Number INS 23-038-AB, addressing the coverage of Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) services for health insurers.
Recent reviews conducted by the NHID revealed challenges faced by behavioral health practitioners and billing practitioners in securing reimbursement from commercial health carriers. These challenges primarily stem from difficulties associated with billing codes related to BHI services. In response, the NHID has issued guidelines for health insurers operating in the state.
