New Hampshire Medical Professional Liability Insurance Profitability (2023)

A higher loss ratio means carriers paid out more of each premium dollar in claims, which tends to push New Hampshire medical professional liability rates up and thin the field of carriers competing for the business; a lower one signals a more profitable, more competitive market. With a 3.0% underwriting loss, New Hampshire carriers relied on investment income to make the line work in 2023 — a sign of rate pressure ahead. Counting investment income, carriers earned a 16.1% profit on medical professional liability insurance transactions in New Hampshire in 2023 — NAIC's broadest profitability measure for the line. Either way, these are industry aggregates — your own medical professional liability rate depends on your business, and the only way to see it is to compare filed rates and real quotes.

New Hampshire's $56M in medical professional liability premiums is the 39th-largest of the 51 states NAIC reports for the line. Across those states, loss ratios span from 194.3% in New Mexico — the toughest market for carriers — down to 14.2% in Wyoming, the most profitable; New Hampshire's 55.7% places it 25th of 51. For buyers, a state near the top of that spread usually means firmer medical professional liability pricing and fewer competing carriers, while a state near the bottom tends to run softer and more competitive. By premium, New Hampshire is about 0.5% of the $10.9B national medical professional liability market, and its loss-ratio rank places it in the harder half of states for carrier profitability — context that shapes how aggressively carriers compete for New Hampshire medical professional liability business.
