RSA 420-J:4-a: Facility Credentialing.

I. Health carriers shall credential qualified entities administering community mental health programs as defined under RSA 135-C:7, entities administering community substance use disorder treatment programs as defined under RSA 172:2-c, and community health centers as facilities when paneling and enrolling participating providers, consistent with health carriers' facility credentialing standards and practices, unless the entity requests professional level credentialing. Health carriers shall not be required to credential entities who do not meet the health carriers' facility credentialing eligibility standards. If an entity disagrees with the outcome of a health carrier's application of its facility credentialing standards and practices, the entity may request a formal hearing and review of the carrier's decision by the New Hampshire insurance department pursuant to RSA 400-A:17 and/or file a complaint with the New Hampshire insurance department's health care provider complaint process.

II. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a health carrier to select or enroll a specific facility as a participating provider.
