The State Insurance commissions will regulate the indemnity health plans. The health insurance plan which you signed up with must be accredited. Accredited health plans meet the requirement of the state agency. Health plans that offer services to Medicaid customers must be accredited. There are a number of associations that are responsible for reviewing the plans. You can make a phone call to the accrediting association to find out whether the health insurer is accredited.
