Reaching for the Stars (or Tallahassee, at Least)
The Florida Insurance Commissioner, the fearless leader of the Office of Insurance Regulation, resides in the grand capital city of Tallahassee. Don't worry, though, you won't need to strap on your Indiana Jones hat and decipher ancient maps. Here are the modern-day methods for making contact:
- Dial Up the Cavalry (or the Consumer Helpline): Florida boasts a super convenient, toll-free Consumer Helpline. Ring them up at 1-877-MY-FL-CFO (that's 1-877-693-5236 for those who prefer speaking in numbers).
- Email Like a Boss: Feeling fancy? Craft an email to Consumer.Services@myfloridacfo.com and lay out your insurance inquiry.
- Old School Snail Mail: For the truly traditional, you can send a letter to the Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Consumer Services, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001. Just promise you won't use carrier pigeons (although, that would be pretty cool).
Important Note: These methods are for contacting the Department of Financial Services, which oversees the Insurance Commissioner's office. They'll be happy to connect you with the right people.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
