The New Hampshire Discount Medical Plan Organization license

RSA 415-I:5, I requires the organization to be authorized to transact business in the state and then to register with the commissioner on a prescribed form, filed annually by 1 June. RSA 415-I:5, III is the qualification and it has one number in it, a net worth of at least $150,000 maintained at all times, alongside adequate expertise or experience to run such an organization and the usual character findings. The application also discloses whether any previous registration application has been denied, revoked, suspended or terminated for cause anywhere, and whether the applicant is under investigation or has been found in violation of any statute or regulation anywhere in the previous five years. No examination and no course. RSA 415-I:5, II exempts a licensed health insurer, hospital service corporation, medical service corporation or fraternal benefit society, and any affiliate they own or control, because those already answer to the Department under their own licenses. Delaware licenses the same thing at $525 under chapter 76 and calls it a license; New Hampshire registers it at $300 initial and $150 renewal and calls it a certificate of registration.
