Our green light is on in support of Mental Health! Mental health issues and substance use disorders are common and often serious, but many people do recover with access to proper treatment. You should treat your mental health as seriously as you treat your physical health. If you need help, but don’t know where to find it, we have resources available.
Would you know what to do if you are denied insurance coverage for medically necessary care or emergency appeals? You can reach the Maryland Insurance Administration 24/7, 365 days per year. Call our 24/7 Hotline at 1-800-492-6116 or click here for more information.
When your home is damaged by a storm, fire or even a water leak, your life is disrupted and may even be turned upside down. To get back on track, you rely on professional contractors to repair and reconstruct your house. While the vast majority of contractors act ethically and professionally, there are some folks who may want to take advantage of you in your time of need.
During Contractor Fraud Awareness Week, May 20-24, and throughout the year, we want to make sure you are aware of current schemes and know how to protect yourself from falling victim.
Consumers are encouraged to report insurance fraud activities to the Maryland Insurance Administration's Insurance Fraud Division. We have compiled resources to help you learn how to recognize insurance fraud and report it.
