MVP’s membership is “highly” concentrated in Vermont and New York, the insurer said.
Its policy holders in New Hampshire account for just 1 percent of its total membership, according to MVP.
MVP will continue to insure businesses based in New York and Vermont that have locations and employees in New Hampshire, the health insurer said.
Under New Hampshire law, MVP will conduct this withdrawal over a period of time that begins with a 180-day notice to members.
The health insurer will accept renewals of existing New Hampshire insurance policies during this period, but it won’t offer coverage to new groups.
MVP will then handle all of the remaining policy obligations on its New Hampshire insurance policies, the company said.
