SEE FAQ Below:
Medicare Supplement NH & Senior Coverage FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage in NH?
A: Think of a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) as "secondary" insurance that stays with Original Medicare. It helps pay for the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover, and you can see any doctor in the country who accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage, on the other hand, is an "all-in-one" alternative provided by private companies that often includes drug and dental coverage but usually requires you to stay within a specific network of providers.
Q: When is the best time to enroll in Medicare Supplement insurance in NH?
A: Your "Open Enrollment Period" begins the first month you are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this six-month window, you have a "guaranteed issue" right, meaning companies cannot deny you coverage or charge you more for pre-existing conditions.
Q: Does my Medicare Supplement plan cover prescriptions? A: No. Medicare Supplement plans (like Plan G or Plan N) do not include retail prescription drug coverage. You will need to enroll in a separate Medicare Part D RX plan. Steve Donohue can help you compare formularies to ensure your specific medications are covered at the lowest cost.

Car Insurance Nashua & Personal Lines FAQ
Q: Is car insurance required by law in New Hampshire?
A: New Hampshire is unique because it does not strictly require every driver to carry car insurance in Nashua. However, you must be able to prove "Financial Responsibility" if you are at fault in an accident. Most drivers choose to meet this requirement by purchasing a policy. If you do buy insurance, NH law requires minimum limits of 25/50/25 ($25k per person/$50k per accident for bodily injury, and $25k for property damage).

Q: How can I lower my premium for car insurance in Nashua?
A: The most effective way is bundling. By combining your auto policy with home insurance in Nashua, you can often save between 10% and 25%. We also look for "Good Student" discounts, "Low Mileage" credits, and "Defensive Driving" certificates to shave more off your bill.

Q: Why should I use a Nashua independent agent instead of buying insurance online?
A: Online "one-click" services prioritize the lowest price, which often means they strip away essential coverages like Uninsured Motorist or Medical Payments. As your local agents on Main Street, we make sure you aren't just "saving money"—we make sure you are actually protected when a claim happens.

Small Business Coverage NH FAQ
Q: What are the minimum insurance requirements for a small business in NH? A: If you have one or more employees (even part-time), New Hampshire law requires you to carry Workers' Compensation insurance. Depending on your industry, you may also need a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) to protect your property and provide general liability coverage.
Q: Can Atlantic Insurance help with the new NH Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML)?
A: Absolutely. As experts in Business Coverage in NH, we help employers navigate the state's PFML requirements and integrate them into their existing employee benefits packages to ensure full compliance and competitive recruiting.
