New Hampshire's Federally Facilitated Health Insurance Marketplace
The mission of the New Hampshire Insurance Department is to promote and protect the public good by ensuring the existence of a safe and competitive insurance marketplace through the development and enforcement of the insurance laws of the State of New Hampshire. We are committed to doing so in an honest, effective and timely manner.
The Marketplace (www.HealthCare.gov) is your source for federally regulated and subsidized health insurance. If you have questions about or issues with using the Marketplace and obtaining coverage, please call the federal government at (800) 318-2596. (Once you have coverage, please contact the Insurance Department with questions or concerns, at 1-800-852-3416 or (603) 271-2261, or by email at consumerservices@ins.nh.gov.)

Once that information has been verified, you can check our state website at https://www.statebasedsystems.com/solar/index.html to verify that your license and appointment information is up to date.
