Sept. 15: New Web Site Helps Consumers Shop for Insurance

Audrey Selden, TDI

Audrey Selden will discuss a new web site designed to help consumers shop for home and auto insurance, www.helpinsure.com, on the September 15 edition of Economic Perspectives.  Developed by the Texas Department of Insurance and Office of Public Insurance Counsel, Helpinsure.com allows consumers to view sample homeowners or auto insurance rates from the top 25 insurer groups, based on a personal profile submitted by the consumer.  The service is free and no confidential information is required to be submitted.

Selden is the Senior Associate Commissioner for Consumer Protection and the Provider Ombudsman at the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).  She oversees the TDI division that assists consumers with questions and disputes about insurance. Selden has a law degree from Harvard University and is a graduate of Leadership Texas and Leadership America.
