Nevada Division of Insurance website offers guide to the Affordable Care Act
Insurance and healthcare reform information is available through a new website launched by the Nevada Division of Insurance.
The website provides Nevada consumers with comprehensive information about insurance and healthcare reform in Nevada. Members of the insurance industry will also find information about doing business in Nevada.
The Division’s new “Nevada Employer’s Guide to the Affordable Care Act” is also available for download here. The guide answers some of the most common questions that business owners have about how healthcare reform will affect their business. Including whether or not they will have to offer health insurance to their employees, how to purchase health insurance and how the law has affected health insurance coverage.
“The Nevada Division of Insurance takes its role as a consumer protection agency seriously,” said Commissioner Scott J. Kipper in a news release. “We believe that the key to consumer protection is education and our new website and guide do just that. I encourage anyone with questions about insurance to visit our new website, check out the great consumer information we have available and call our office if you still have any questions.”
The website also offers:
— A new License Verification Tool that allows users to search the name of any insurance agent, agency or company selling them insurance to make sure that they are licensed by the Division.
— Health Insurance Rates: it’s now even easier to become a part of the health insurance rate review process by reviewing proposed health insurance rate changes and offering comments to consider when reviewing pending rate changes.

- Information on how to become licensed as a producer in Nevada.
