Health insurer Community Health Options will withdraw its business from New Hampshire in 2017.

The company, which is domiciled in Maine, is regulated by the Maine Bureau of Insurance. The Bureau has closely monitored Health Options since it began reporting losses in 2015 and has posted financial updates about the company on a monthly basis.

“We think it is in the best long-term interest of consumers and the company itself for Health Options to focus on its core business in its home state as it works through financial issues,” said New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny.

New Hampshire residents who are Health Options members will receive a letter from Health Options in the next few weeks notifying them directly that Health Options coverage will not be available in 2017. Employer group policies will remain in effect until their renewal date, at which point they will need to select a different insurance carrier. NEEBCo representatives will be reaching out to clients to explain this process.

Contact your NEEBCo representative with any questions you may have.
