Delaware Consumer Assistance
Delaware’s participation in the federal Consumer Assistance Program grant has completed, however, the Insurance Commissioner and Department of Insurance continues to provide assistance to consumers with health insurance questions or problems. You can contact them at 1-800-282-8611.
The agencies listed below can help you take advantage of some of these new protections and benefits and they can answer your questions about different types of coverage.
