How do I file a complaint against my insurance company?

If you need to file a complaint against your insurance company, you will need to follow some steps to ensure that your complaint is properly filed and addressed. In Idaho, the Idaho Department of Insurance (DOI) is responsible for regulating the insurance industry. First, you should contact the insurance company directly and explain your issue. This is often the most efficient way to resolve an issue. If the insurance company is unresponsive, or if the issue is not resolved, you should then contact the Idaho DOI. You can do this by calling the DOI’s toll-free number, or by filling out a complaint form online. When filing your complaint, make sure you provide all relevant information, including your policy number, contact information and a description of the issue. You should also document any conversations you have had with the insurance company. Once the DOI receives your complaint, they will forward it to the insurance company and ask that they provide a response within 10 days. The DOI may also choose to investigate your complaint further. If your complaint is not resolved after you submit it to the DOI, you may take other measures, such as filing a complaint against the insurance company in an Idaho court or with the Idaho Office of the Insurance Ombudsman. Ultimately, filing a complaint against your insurance company should be a last resort. Despite this, it is important to know what steps you need to take should you need to file a complaint in the future.
