Michael Humphreys has over 20 years of experience with the insurance sector from a regulatory perspective. He is charged with the responsibility of regulating the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s insurance marketplace, overseeing licensed agents and insurance professionals, monitoring the financial landscape of companies doing business in Pennsylvania, educating consumers, and ensuring residents are treated fairly.

Michael joined the Pennsylvania Insurance Department as the Department was working closely with Pennie, the state-based health insurance exchange created by Act 42, to ensure a successful roll-out of the new initiative that would become the home for high-quality, affordable health insurance plans in Pennsylvania. The launch of Pennie was a landmark step for health care in the Commonwealth as Pennie continues to be a key source of affordable coverage for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
