| | Harper v. Healthsource |
 | | Healthsource is a New Hampshire health maintenance organization governed by the regulations contained in RSA chapter 420-B. Harper has been a participating physician with Healthsource, as a surgeon and as a primary care provider, since shortly after it was organized in 1985. |
 | | Over the course of their ten-year relationship, Harper's patient base of between 3,000 and 4,000 people has evolved so that approximately thirty to forty percent of his patients are now Healthsource-related, either as regular subscribers, workers' compensation patients, State employees, or welfare patients covered by Healthsource medicaid payments. |
 | | RSA chapter 420-C creates some parameters for preferred provider agreements between health insurers and physicians, similar to the one in this case. |
