In New Hampshire, the Workers’ Compensation system is designed to provide medical benefits, wage replacement, and other support to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses related to their work. A critical element of this system is the Panel of Preferred Care, which helps manage medical treatment and ensure quality care for injured workers.

A Panel of Preferred Care in New Hampshire consists of a list of pre-approved healthcare providers that employers or their insurance carriers designate to treat employees who sustain work-related injuries. This panel aims to facilitate access to quality medical care while controlling costs associated with workers’ compensation claims.

• Employers are required to establish a panel of healthcare providers that typically includes a range of specialties relevant to workplace injuries.
• The panel must include at least one physician who specializes in occupational medicine and other relevant medical professionals.

Injured workers have the right to select a provider from the established panel for their initial treatment. Please choose a provider from the listed locations as your limital provider: Failure to use the physician listed could result in delay and/or denial of WC benefits.
