The
nvinsurancealert.com
Web site was created in 2003 to be used as a tool
for consumers to verify that an insurance carrier
is admitted to write business in Nevada. There
is also the capability to verify approved Discount
Health Plans.
Lists of admitted insurance companies for posting
is provided to the webmaster by the Nevada Division
of Insurance on a regular basis, at least once
each month. Lists of Discount Health Plans are
provided to the webmaster as these plans are approved
by the Commissioner.
In addition, this powerful tool has been used
to communicate anti-fraud messages to the public

The Web site also includes comprehensive information
about the Division of Insurance Public Education
Campaigns launched over the last four years:
The Web site is thoroughly updated each year
as the Public Education Campaign is planned for
the upcoming year. Plus, updates are done on an
ongoing basis as new insurance fraud information
becomes available.
The “Hotline” 1-888-467-4195 was
established as a stand-alone portal and as a back-up
to the website. The line is maintained and staffed
by persons knowledgeable about the insurance industry
in Nevada.
Both the website and the hotline receive thousands
of contacts each year. There is also a significant
increase in website “hits” and hotline
calls during the three to four months that the
Public Education Campaigns run each year.
The Annual Nevada Public Education Campaign is
under the auspices of the Nevada Division of Insurance,
funded by Nevada Surplus Lines Association and
administered by Nevada Independent Insurance Agents. |
