​THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO:

• Forward a copy of your complaint to the insurer, if appropriate;
• Obtain information or explanations on your behalf from the insurer or their representatives. This may involve written and verbal contact with such companies or persons;
• Review in detail the information obtained from the company for compliance with statutes, regulations and policy contracts;
• We investigate complaints involving disability insurance to determine (1) whether or not the denial decision is arbitrary or capricious and (2) whether or not the denial decision was rendered in accordance with the terms of the insurance contract and State insurance laws and regulations.
• Provide general information about the provisions of your insurance policy, as appropriate;
• Suggest to you actions or procedures that you may take which could aid in resolving your insurance problem;
• If it is determined that the actions of an insurer violate a statute, regulation or policy that the MIA enforces, the Company may be required to remedy the problem and/or pay a fine.

THIS IS WHAT WE CANNOT DO:

• Act as your legal representative, in or out of court;
• Intervene in a pending lawsuit on your behalf;
• In the case of disability insurance complaints, make a medical decision as to the extent of an individual's disability.
• Address complaints or inquiries involving insurance contracts that are not subject to the jurisdiction of the insurance laws of the State or matters governed by other State or Federal agencies. This would include the following:
      
• Self-funded or self-insured plans;
• Medical Assistance (Medicaid);
• Medicare and Medicare HMOs;
• Federal Employee Health Benefit Programs;
• Uniform Services Family Health Plans;

• Make a decision as to disputes between you and the insurer about:
  
• Who is negligent or at fault
• The facts surrounding the claim (that is, who might be telling the truth in the matter when accounts of that matter differ);
• The value of a claim or the amount of money owed to you; or
  
• Ask the Motor Vehicle Administration to "hold" a fine pending the investigation of your complaint.
