While the water reading really isn't bad, NH recommends mitigation at any reading over 2000 while Massachusetts says 10,000 (go figure)! Nationally a standard has not been set by the EPA so each state makes their own recommendation. Anyway for my own personal peace of mind I am having both taken care of.
I'm not sure what insurance or code has to do with this since New Hampshire law does not mandate radon testing or mitigation during real estate transactions. This is something I had done on my own and not required by anyone.

You could find that the Radon Air would improve to an acceptable level after the water Radon is corrected. I have seen this happen in homes before. Your water Radon is not that high though. I have seen a Radon water value of 150000+ in a home in Atkinson, NH and it was causing the air to fail as well. They corrected the water and the air was then fine.
Radon Air mitigation should also include sealing of the foundation floor to prevent Radon penetration in the future.
