The Ohio Department of Insurance is part of the NAIC, the national standard-setting system of state-based insurance regulation in the United States.

To become NAIC accredited state insurance departments undergo comprehensive, independent review of their legal, financial and organizational procedures to ensure insurance company financial solvency oversight criteria are met.
This includes having in place adequate solvency laws and regulations to protect consumers and guarantee funds, sufficient financial analysis and examination processes and effective practices for the review of organization, licensing and change of control of domestic insurance companies.
The Ohio Department of Insurance, which saves Ohioans millions of dollars annually, also protects consumers by fighting insurance fraud, conducting statewide educational insurance outreach, investigating complaints about insurance, providing a missing life insurance policy and annuity contract search service and much more.
