New Hampshire HRP

The New Hampshire High-Risk Insurance Pool [1] became operational in 2002. The pool is financed through participant premiums, as well as assessments of insurance plans based on a "per covered lives" basis. Premium caps for the pool are not less than 125 percent and not higher than 150 percent of the standard risk rate for comparable coverage. At the end of 2005, just over 630 persons were enrolled in the pool.
