OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer fined ClearShare Health, Clearwater Benefits LLC, and three related companies $350,000 on December 3 for selling unauthorized health insurance. Kuderer also ordered the companies to stop transacting unauthorized insurance, including selling ClearShare health plans in Washington.
Clearwater Benefits is a non-resident sales agency authorized to sell life and disability products in Washington that was also marketing and selling ClearShare Health plans. An inquiry through social media in 2023 prompted the staff of the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) to investigate whether ClearShare’s health plans were being sold legally.
