SEN. CABRERA WELCOMES NEW CONSUMER RESOURCE LIBRARY FOR CONNECTICUT INSURANCE CUSTOMERS
HARTFORD – Ever wonder why your homeowner’s insurance costs go up every year? Do you have questions about mental health insurance coverage in Connecticut? Do you want to file a consumer complaint online, but don’t know how?
Now there’s an answer: The Connecticut Insurance Department’s new Consumer Resource Library.
“The typical American family of four pays about $28,000 a year in insurance premiums for home and auto, health and dental, homeowner’s or renter’s, and life insurance and pet insurance. These policies can potentially save your life or keep you out of bankruptcy, but they’re enormously expensive, and sometimes prohibitively so,” said state Senator Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden), who is Senate Chair of the Insurance and Real Estate Committee. “It’s not unusual to have questions about one of the most complex and costly aspects of modern living, and now you have a place to turn to answer most of your insurance questions.”
The state Insurance Department’s new Consumer Resource Library covers auto, health, homeowner’s, life and annuity, flood, and general insurance topics, including:
- Know Your Rights: Appealing a Health Insurance Denial
- Consumer report card on health insurance plans in Connecticut
- FAQs – Long-Term Care
- Request a free copy of your auto claims history
- Consumer Alerts
- Video – Understand Your Flood Risk
