Insurance

The Insurance Division aims to maintain affordability and availability of insurance for Vermonters while certifying that insurers can meet their contractual obligations. It ensures reasonable and orderly competition within the industry and protects Vermont consumers against unfair and unlawful business practices. All insurance policies sold in Vermont are reviewed and approved by the Insurance Division to ensure they provide protections mandated by Vermont law. The Division conducts annual and periodic audits of health insurance plans to ensure compliance with Vermont regulations.

Regulatory Oversight

Regulation of the insurance industry in Vermont and protection of the public in these general areas:

  • Solvency Laws | insurance companies must operate in a fiscally responsible manner; so, after taking their customers' money (premiums), they can be counted on to pay claims down the road.
  • Consumer Protection Laws | companies must sell legal insurance products through licensed producers, treat consumers fairly, and pay claims in a timely manner. 
  • Health Insurance Laws | consumers must be afforded full disclosure of information, a full and fair review of a grievance, and health plans acquired by them must meet quality and access standards for care.
  • The No Surprises Act | protects consumers with most types of private health insurance coverage against certain surprise medical bills.
