Maryland Insurance Administration

Maryland Insurance Administration The Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) is an independent State agency charged with regulating Maryland's $57 billion insurance industry.

We protect consumers through regulation, education, and advocacy. If you are looking for more information about the Maryland Insurance Administration, please visit www.insurance.maryland.gov. The MIA's goal is to provide efficient, effective service to both the consumers of insurance products and the insurance industry. The MIA best serves its core constituents by assuring fair treatment of consum

ers. Consumers are protected when insurance coverage is available at fair prices and when companies are solvent and utilize fair sales, claims and settlement practices. The agency strives to increase public understanding of the vital role insurance plays in the daily lives of Maryland citizens and businesses. Insurance is the principal means of managing risks. While it is not possible to eliminate risks arising from poor health, auto accidents, home damage and other unexpected occurrences, you may minimize its impact by purchasing appropriate insurance coverage. Though the MIA cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we can help you learn what types of coverage are available, at what cost, and assist you if you have a complaint about how your insurance company responds when you file a claim.

While most of us consider our pets members of our families, legally they are personal property. That is why pet insurance is considered a type of property and casualty insurance.

The Maryland Insurance Administration is proud to work with the Maryland Attorney General to help prosecute insurance fraud, which increases the cost of insurance for all of us.

Consumers are encouraged to report insurance fraud activities to the Maryland Insurance Administration's Insurance Fraud Division. You need not give your name. Visit our website to learn more: https://insurance.maryland.gov/Consumer/Pages/InsuranceFraudConsumer.aspx

An insurance agent pleaded guilty to felony theft and insurance fraud after submitting 21 fake insurance applications using Hispanic surnames. He admitted he chose those names because he believed the company would assume the applicants were undocumented and wouldn’t verify the Social Security numbers he provided.

He stole more than $5,000 in commission payments through the scheme. My Office investigated and prosecuted this case because fraud has no place in Maryland’s insurance market.
