Stephen Donohue, a licensed insurance producer has been selling health insurance in New Hampshire since 1997. Steve sells insurance offered by all of these companies.

“In the past 15 years I have seen the NH group health insurance market grow and evolve,” says Steve. “Health insurers arrive in the granite state and make a full effort to grow and expand their business. Some stay, while others depart.”

Large national insurer, CIGNA, only selectively participates, selling in the large group, or over 100 employee market.

Good News/Bad News “The good news is that NH has some great health insurers that market here- including Harvard Pilgrim, the nation’s top ranked health plan.” says Steve, “The bad news is that there are only four insurers to choose from.”
