March 7, 2008

 

 

Mila Kofman was sworn in today as superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Insurance, the State’s insurance regulatory agency.

“I am pleased to welcome Mila Kofman to Maine and to the leadership of this important office,” said Governor Baldacci. “I am confident she will provide balanced judgment as she fulfills the crucial role in monitoring the financial soundness of the insurance industry and enforcing consumer protections.”

Kofman, who had most recently served as an associate research professor at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, is an experienced regulator, having worked from 1997 to 2001 at the U.S. Department of Labor. At the federal agency, Kofman specialized in developing guidance for state and federal health care reforms and initiatives. At Georgetown, Kofman led health-related research projects on the uninsured and fraud, among others. Additionally, Kofman served as a consumer representative at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

The Superintendent of Insurance is responsible for overseeing Maine’s insurance industry, including licensing, examination of insurance companies, review of rate change and policy filings, and investigations of insurance-related complaints. The Bureau of Insurance is part of the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation.

Kofman begins her work as superintendent today.
