About eating disorder treatment in New Hampshire

The two in-person programs are both in southern New Hampshire. The Cambridge Eating Disorder Center in Concord offers in-person partial hospitalization plus all-virtual intensive outpatient for ages 12 and up. Reflections Eating Disorders Treatment Center at Parkland Medical Center in Salem provides partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care for adolescents and adults. The Seacoast, the Monadnock Region, the Lakes Region, and the North Country have no in-person eating disorder specialty program. Partial hospitalization is the highest level of care available within the state, so people who need residential care or inpatient medical stabilization travel out of state. The all-virtual intensive outpatient program reaches residents anywhere in New Hampshire.

Paying for treatment in New Hampshire

Most commercial health plans in New Hampshire cover eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, subject to your plan's usual deductible, copays, and prior-authorization requirements for higher levels of care. In-network coverage depends on whether your specific plan contracts with the program you are considering.(source)

New Hampshire Medicaid and the Granite Advantage Health Care Program cover eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, with prior authorization and medical-necessity review for higher levels of care. No in-state program has confirmed Medicaid acceptance from a public source, so verify acceptance with each program directly. Children may also qualify through Children's Medicaid.(source)

New Hampshire's parity statute requires group plans to cover treatment for an enumerated list of biologically based mental illnesses on terms no less extensive than coverage for physical illness. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are explicitly named. Binge eating disorder, ARFID, and OSFED aren't enumerated and rely on federal MHPAEA protection.(source)

Common questions about eating disorder treatment in New Hampshire

Where can I get residential eating disorder treatment in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire has no in-state residential or specialty inpatient program. The most intensive in-state options are partial hospitalization programs in the south: the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center in Concord and Reflections Eating Disorders Treatment Center at Parkland Medical Center in Salem, which treats adolescents and adults of all genders. Cambridge's residential program runs at its main Massachusetts campus, not Concord. Residents needing residential or inpatient care travel out of state.

Does Granite Advantage (New Hampshire Medicaid) cover eating disorder treatment?

Yes, eating disorder treatment is covered within the broader behavioral health benefit. Whether a specific program accepts your plan can vary; the program you call can confirm acceptance and the level of care you need.

What about eating disorder treatment in the Seacoast, the Lakes Region, or the North Country?

The only in-state in-person specialty programs are in Concord (Cambridge Eating Disorder Center) and Salem (Reflections at Parkland Medical Center), both in the south. The Seacoast, Monadnock Region, Lakes Region, and North Country have no in-person specialty program. For families in those areas, a virtual program is usually the main option, since the Cambridge program in Concord offers its intensive outpatient care all-virtual statewide. Residential or inpatient care means an out-of-state placement.
