Consumer Alert!
Scam insurance plans often take advantage of consumers during economic downturns. Lately, so-called “associations” have been marketing phony health insurance plans. Before you buy insurance, make sure it is licensed in your state. To check on a policy, contact your state insurance department. You can find the phone number online on the website of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Just run your mouse over your state and a box will show you the name and contact information for your state’s commissioner. Also, check out healthcare.gov to learn about your insurance options.

Note: If you bought a policy through American Trade Association, Smart Data Solutions, or Serve America Assurance and you have outstanding claims, you should contact your own insurance department and also contact the liquidator. Although the deadline for filing timely claims with the liquidator has passed, you can still file a late claim (however, late filers are less likely to get their claims paid than timely claimants).
