Federal limits govern short-term health coverage
Beginning January 1, 2027, New Hampshire ties short-term health insurance length to the maximum allowed under federal law. This replaces state limits of six months per term and 540 total days within the preceding 24 months. The initial term plus all renewals or extensions must stay within the federal maximum. These policies provide temporary medical, hospital, or major medical expense coverage. The law does not state a numeric federal maximum.
