Insurance Company Assessment Fees
Each year, the Massachusetts legislature authorizes the Division of Insurance (DOI) to assess the insurers that it regulates, in order to support its operational activities and those of its departmental units, which include the Health Care Access Bureau, the State Rating Bureau, and the Medical Malpractice Analysis Bureau. The Massachusetts legislature sets the budget and the assessment amount in its General Appropriations Act in each fiscal year.
The DOI assesses all insurers that are issued a license or certificate of authority, unless specifically excluded by the legislature. The DOI also excludes the following types of companies from assessments:
* Fraternal Organizations * Home Service Contract Providers * Surplus Lines Carriers * Life Settlement Providers * Risk Retention Groups * Federal Crop Insurers * Certified Reinsurers * Companies in Rehabilitation * Reinsurers who are not also licensed under M.G.L. c. 175 as insurance companies in Massachusetts * Accredited reinsurers who are not also licensed under M.G.L. c. 175 as insurance companies in Massachusetts
Unless otherwise noted, the DOI shall utilize the premium data reported in the insurer’s Annual Statement from the previous calendar year. Assessment payments are due within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Please contact the DOI at DOIAssessments@mass.gov with billing or other assessment questions. At this time, we are not able to offer electronic payment of assessment invoices.
Please detach the payment stub at the top of the assessment invoice, and mail it together with the payment to the address below. There may be a delay in processing payments if companies do not detach the payment stub from the invoice before mailing the payment.
