Abstract

• This data brief presents a retrospective analysis of available medical claims data from New Hampshire’s commercial insurance plans. This brief focuses on conditions with the highest average out-of-pocket costs paid by commercially insured members in 2022. It also examines how out-of-pocket costs for those conditions have changed over a seven-year period (2016-2022). The analysis is based on claims data from January 2016 – December 2022 and is analyzed at the overall population level and by member gender. It is part of a series of analytic briefs examining the rate of the most common health conditions and treatment costs for those respective conditions.
