DAN Insurance Changes?

[kixy1]

Anyone else get the email that DAN is no longer offering coverage in your state? I did. (Washington)
They say they're working on it and I sure hope they do. I've had it for decades and this is a real bummer. We all know that now my family DOESN'T have coverage will be the time one of us needs it... grrrr

WHAT??

I live in WA, and have DAN's insurance. No email here. When did you get this?

If you look at the DAN website it shows that, in Washington, you are only able to purchase the Guardian policy. If you look at my state, Pennsylvania, it shows you can purchase the Guardian, Preferred, or Master policy.

I would contact DAN directly.

I haven't gotten message here in North Carolina. I hope this will not be the first of many states to follow effect......

North Carolina appears to offer all plans, you can look up any state on the DAN website Scuba Diving Accident Insurance — About Scuba Insurance Programs — DAN | Divers Alert Network click on view plans

Maybe insurance laws?

Here's my guess... they are required to go through local (e.g. state agencies that must follow their own laws). I found this out a while back when I had to transfer car insurance from one state to another, even though I was technically remaining with the same company. The company told me they were require to license their insurance policies through each state individually.

Insurance is regulated at the state and not the federal level. Different states have different rules.

You purchase a product licensed for your state of residence.
