It's not only important to "Know Your Zone" when it comes to hurricane preparedness, but it's important to consider your risk. Hurricane season runs through November 30 and is predicted to be busy. In the event of a natural disaster or other loss, could you afford to replace all of your belongings? Here are resources to help you prepare before the next storm heads your way.
While the Maryland Insurance Administration does not sell insurance and we cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we do want to help you learn what types of coverage are available. Additionally, we are here to assist you if you have a complaint involving an insurer, an insurance producer, public adjuster or adviser.
The Maryland Insurance Administration is excited to launch the Health Coverage Assistance Team (H-CAT). As a consumer, if you have questions or concerns about health coverage for you or your loved ones, the H-CAT staff is here for you.
The H-CAT team can:
- Answer health coverage questions and help you address health
insurance problems and concerns.
- Explain what’s covered in your health plan and explain how it works.
- Help you understand how to find a health care service provider,
including for mental health or substance use needs.
- Help you or your loved ones file a claim with a health plan.
- Assist you or family members in filing a complaint, if necessary.
- Direct you to other resources that can help meet your needs.
