Why We May Not Release a Record
There are certain records that the Maryland Insurance Administration does not, or cannot, release to you in accordance with Maryland and federal laws and regulations. When we do not release these records, it is often because:
- We need to protect the privacy of individuals who have asked the Maryland Insurance Administration for help in dealing with an insurance problem;
- We need to preserve fair competition among insurance carriers, which, in turn, benefits the public; or
- We need to allow the Maryland Insurance Administration's staff to participate in candid discussions and to carry on investigations in a confidential manner for the public welfare.
If you request a record that the Maryland Insurance Administration does not release to you, we will provide you, in writing, the reason we did not release the record, the law or regulation that governs the non-disclosure of the record, and your rights of appeal.
