Whether you’re currently in treatment and/or are looking for more support, your NHADA Insurance Division Harvard Pilgrim health plan gives you lots of options.

Wholesale used vehicle prices (on a mix-, mileage-, and seasonally adjusted basis) increased 1.6% month over month in December. This brought the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index to a record high of 236.2, a 46.6% increase from a year ago. The non-adjusted price change, however, declined 1.1% from November, leaving the unadjusted average price up 43.4% year over year.

To ensure all dealerships are renewed in a timely manner, the DMV requests that all renewals be completed and mailed to the Dealer and Inspection Desk no later than March 1, 2022.

Who would have thought we would still be writing about, talking about, dealing with, and continuing to be just sick of COVID-19 still in 2022? This is not how we wanted to start our New Year, but working together and supporting our members as the pandemic continues is a priority for us.

To accurately calculate a member’s premium, the NHADA WCT must perform an audit to determine members’ actual payroll figures for the previous year. We have decided to use one auditing firm this year to keep the audits consistent. NEIS will be performing these audits beginning in January for NHADA Workers Compensation Trust members. You will have the choice of an in-person or virtual audit. Smaller members will be assigned a telephone audit. NEIS has a secure website for collecting your payroll information for virtual audits. This annual audit is critical. The auditors will be reviewing the 2021 final payroll figures to determine how accurately members’ estimated their payroll figures.

Following a 21-year career with the NHADA Products Division, Form Specialist Diane Fortier has retired. Around the office, Diane was known for her optimism and, over the years, established many relationships with long-lasting customers. Toward the end of her career, she became a crucial player in the evolution of the NHADA Store (now known as LotDrop). Diane was gracious enough to delay her retirement for over a year as we transitioned to LotDrop and switched to a new internal accounting program. If you’ve gone through a DMS switch, you can imagine that undertaking. Diane also served as an excellent mentor for new team members learning the ins and outs of the Products Division.

Snow removal and storm cleanup days aren’t the easiest days to work at NHADA member locations. It’s always windy and freezing cold after a good snowstorm, and moving snow is physically demanding, making for tough conditions for staff. Winter storms are one of the leading causes of employee injuries.

We are beyond excited to see everyone in person at this year’s Big Raffle & Silent Auction that will take place at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in downtown Concord, NH. Because we want to have a fantastic in-person gathering with members, partners, students and teachers, we decided to change our original event date out of an abundance of caution.
