Our Consumer Services Center helps Minnesotans with questions and fields formal complaints about insurance coverage
The Minnesota Department of Commerce regulates the insurance industry to protect consumers and ensure a fair and competitive marketplace. Commerce investigates complaints on behalf of consumers and works to resolve disputes between consumers and insurers.
We provide licensing, examinations and analysis of insurance carriers to ensure their business is safe and able to pay claims, encompassing insurance in health, homeowners, auto, life, long-term care and workers compensation. We review rates to ensure the insurance products are fair and reasonable. We also oversee Minnesota’s reinsurance program for health plans and license and oversee pharmacy benefit managers.
