Three powerful trends have combined to cause many employers to explore offering individualized health care benefit accounts to their employees --  (1) the resurgence of double-digit health care inflation;  (2) a backlash by employees and physicians against managed care and other provider-side cost constraints; and (3) a rise in health care consumerism fueled by the internet and direct-to-consumer advertising for health products and services.  Click HERE for more information.

What if your insurance company goes out of business?

When an insurance company licensed in Minnesota is placed into receivership, Minnesota policyholders can still get their covered claims paid (up to a limited amount) by one of the state's "insurance guaranty funds."

Minnesota has two guaranty associations that are non-profit groups created by state statute to protect policyholders in the event their insurance company becomes bankrupt. Each association is funded by assessments to all insurance companies selling similar products in the state.

The guaranty associations listed below will pay unpaid claims up to a certain maximum amount limited by state statute. Payment amounts may also vary depending on the type of insurance, the terms of your policy and other factors. In some cases, there are also time limits for filing a claim, which should be stated in a notification letter from the guaranty association.

For more information, contact the Department at 651-296-2488 or contact the appropriate guaranty association.
