How often should an insurance company undergo examination by the Commissioner?

In Louisiana, insurance companies are typically required to undergo an examination by the Commissioner of Insurance at least once every five years. This periodic examination is designed to ensure that insurance companies are financially sound, operating in compliance with state laws and regulations, and are capable of meeting their policyholder obligations. Conducting these examinations every five years provides a reasonable balance, allowing the Commissioner to monitor the financial health and practices of insurance companies while not overwhelming them with too frequent inspections. This timeframe helps maintain a regulated and stable insurance market, contributing to consumer protection and industry oversight.
