Signed into law · New Hampshire House · Lead sponsor

relative to insurance payments to ambulance providers.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance companies to pay ambulance service providers directly for medically necessary emergency transport, rather than reimbursing patients who must then pay the providers. The law applies to both individual and group health insurance plans and allows insurers to continue negotiating specific reimbursement rates with non-participating ambulance companies. Insurers may still issue checks to patients if they choose, but direct payment to the provider becomes the standard method. The changes take effect on September 1, 2024.

relative to the use of special cover plates.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows state officials, including legislators, the governor, and federal representatives from New Hampshire, to obtain special license plates featuring the state seal for a one-dollar fee.

Manufactured at the state prison at no cost to the state, these plates are limited to two sets per person and must be used only on specific vehicles associated with the holder.

Primary HB 1330

Passed · New Hampshire House · Lead sponsor

relative to establishing an emergency medical services disciplinary review panel, and relative to procedures for removal of records of discipline.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new Emergency Medical Services disciplinary review panel to oversee decisions regarding the licensing of EMS providers. The panel, appointed by the director of fire standards and training, must consult with and pre-approve any actions by the commissioner to deny, suspend, or revoke a license, issue a letter of concern, or deny a renewal. Additionally, the bill requires the division to remove records of discipline from public view after five years or upon the licensee's death, unless the director decides otherwise sooner. These changes aim to add a layer of review to disciplinary actions and limit the long-term public visibility of past license sanctions.
