The digital campaign will be conducted to maximize consumer impressions within the allowed budget.
Background:
Answering questions, helps locate lost life insurance policies and assists consumers with understanding their rights in regards to their insurance coverage including their mental health and preventive insurance benefits. The Consumer Services Division offers free assistance to consumers who are having difficulty with using their insurance benefits and many consumers, statewide, are unaware of this assistance that is available to them. The Consumer Services Division received federal grant funding to further enhance the regulation of certain Affordable Care Act provisions, specifically preventive benefits and parity in mental health and substance use treatment disorder benefits.
