In 2015, she was nominated to be the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and was confirmed in June of that year. During her tenure, she oversaw public hearings regarding the "Surprise Balance Billing of Health Insurance Consumers" (2015)[7] and the state of long-term care insurance,[8] and provided guidance to consumers and insurance industry personnel regarding state laws related to insurance policy pricing.[9]
