 14. Who's watching the insurance companies?

With few exceptions, your insurance company does not set its own rates. It requests the right to charge appropriate rates from your state's insurance department, which responds with legal approval and authorization, provided the requested rates are fair.

Every state has some sort of department, administration or agency that regulates and monitors every insurer operating within the state's borders. In addition to approving rates, your state's insurance department is involved in all insurance matters on behalf of private citizens and businesses. It also issues operating licenses to insurance companies and agents, based on their ability to meet the state's requirements for conduct and knowledge about insurance issues.

Your insurance company works closely with your state's insurance department to make sure you are getting the best and fairest possible service within the state's guidelines. Contact your state's insurance department if you wish to know more about how it serves your interests.
