Us, by the numbers...
With apologies to Harper's Index, here are some of the numbers we deal with as Washington state's insurance regulator:
- 1,300+: Number of insurance companies, HMOs, etc. that we monitor.
- 220: Number of employees we have.
- $28 billion: How much Washingtonians spend on insurance coverage each year.
- 6,000: Number of consumer complaints we try to solve, on average, per year.
- $10 million: Amount we recover for consumers annually, on average, in delayed or wrongfully denied claims.
- 95,000: the number of agents and brokers whose testing, licensing, continuing education and performance we oversee.
