Update on TDI
actions related to COVID-19
To the
insurers of
Texas:
The
coronavirus COVID-19 situation presents unique challenges to the
insurance industry and all our workplaces. The Texas Department of
Insurance will continue to perform all essential services, answer your
questions, and work through issues as they develop.
This
is a rapidly evolving, dynamic situation, and we intend to provide you
with frequent updates on our activities. Here are some brief updates
today:
- Governor Abbott’s actions
Friday included a provision allowing state agencies to
request suspension of state laws or rules that may hinder or delay
the state’s coronavirus response. We’ll be providing details soon
on steps to ensure expanded access to medically necessary care and
minimize potential regulatory burdens to providing that care.
- We encourage insurers to submit filings
electronically. This helps provide services efficiently while many
staff are telecommuting. Visit our Filing
Smart page for more information on filing
electronically.
- Visit our coronavirus
resource page for past messages and guidance to the
industry.
We’ll
continue to monitor this developing situation and take action as needed
to ensure we can provide services and care to the people of Texas.
We’ll update you frequently as new information becomes available.
