AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoFlu Season: Flu cases are appearing earlier than usual in New Hampshire. Dartmouth Health recommends getting vaccinated now, since it takes about two weeks for protection to build. Medicare Changes: CVS Health and BMC Health System are leaving the state’s Medicare Advantage market for 2027, and Coos County will have no plans available. Statewide, three organizations will offer coverage, with enrollment projected to fall by more than 18,000. Hospital Costs: A typical five-day hospital stay in New Hampshire costs about $17,000 before insurance, a new report estimates. At minimum wage, paying that bill would take 58 weeks of full-time work. Home-Based Care: Dartmouth Health’s new home-care program, backed by a $20 million gift, aims to expand care at home; the system is also addressing gaps in rural hospice and palliative care.
