The mission of the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) is to provide consumer protection through education and fair but vigilant regulation while promoting a stable and competitive environment for insurers. ODI is responsible for the oversight and regulation of Ohio insurance companies, agents, and agencies. Dedicated public servants work to assure that companies maintain their financial solvency to pay claims and to foster a balanced, competitive insurance market that benefits Ohioans in the form of lower rates. ODI representatives are available to help Ohioans who have questions or concerns about their insurance whether it is coverage for health, auto, home, life or Medicare. We can also help you determine if an agent, agency or company is licensed. Please visit www.insurance.ohio.gov or call us at 1-800-686-1526.
