American Republic

American Republic Insurance Company was established in 1929 by Watson Powell with 200 charter policies. Through sound fiscal planning and responsibility the young company survived the Great Depression. By the end of World War II the company was ready to expand beyond the State of Iowa and in 1945, Minnesota became the second state in which American Republic was licensed to do business.

Today the company has become a leader in the individual health and life insurance industry. American Republic offers a variety of major medical, Medicare supplement, life, annuity and critical care/cancer care products. We are licensed in 49 states and have nearly 15,000 agents who market our products throughout the United States.

Today we have over 300,000 active policies, a testimony to our financial stability and resolution to thrive in the challenging individual health care market.

As we celebrate our 75th year in the insurance business, American Republic is committed to our long-standing tradition of caring about those we have the privilege to serve. This tradition is based on providing ethical and reliable service to our customers, agents and associates, as well as providing high-quality products and services that perform as promised.

As the rising cost of health care continues to be a challenge for the insurance industry and its customers, American Republic works to reduce these costs by streamlining our processes and seeking ways to improve claims processing. These cost-controlling measures are coupled with improved product delivery and innovative product options, including lower cost coverage alternatives that help protect people from the effects of catastrophic events.

Times change and so do the needs of our customers. We will continue to listen to our customers in order to develop new solutions to meet their needs, while continuing to find ways to improve our processes and control costs. We are dedicated to our mission of providing our customers with risk protection, financial security and freedom of choice through a portfolio of high-quality health and health-related products and services. These are the driving principles that allow us to nurture and maintain long-term relationships with our customers.
