The Maryland Insurance Administration, a state regulatory agency, offers a variety of consumer materials on all types of insurance products from annuities to title insurance and health, auto and homeowners insurance. Trained staff will be available to answer consumer questions at the Chester River Hospital Center, 100 Brown St., Chestertown, on Tuesday, Aug. 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“A key aspect of the Maryland Insurance Administration’s mission involves educating the citizens of our state about the choices available to them as consumers of insurance products,” says Therese M. Goldsmith, Maryland Insurance Commissioner. “The more informed consumers are, the better equipped they are to make purchasing decisions that are right for them.”
A schedule of agency outreach activities and consumer materials are available on the website, www.mdinsurance.state.md.us, at various community events. For information, call 410-468-2360.
The Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA), founded as the Maryland Insurance Division in 1872, is an independent State agency located in downtown Baltimore. This agency regulates Maryland’s $26 billion insurance industry and makes certain that insurance companies, health plans and producers (agents and brokers) comply with Maryland insurance law. The MIA also licenses over 110,000 producers and approximately 1,500 insurance companies, regulates insurance rates, monitors insurer solvency, investigates consumer complaints and travels across the State providing consumers with educational materials on insurance. These materials may also be found at www.mdinsurance.state.md.us.
