World Insurance Company, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is a member company of American Enterprise Group, Inc. (“American Enterprise”). American Enterprise was created in 2004 through the merger of American Republic Mutual Holding Company and the World Mutual Holding Company. With the merger, two long-standing organizations—Nebraska-based World Insurance Company, and Iowa-based American Republic Insurance Company—combined their experience and financial strength to expand their services to the individual health care and life market throughout the United States. The merger of Des Moines-based American Republic and Omaha-based World Insurance Company nearly doubled the block of health insurance business held by American Enterprise and since then its surplus has also nearly doubled. In 2006, American Enterprise made another leap forward as a business by acquiring a large block of individual and small group major medical business, again nearly doubling the size of its major medical book.

The combined expertise of American Enterprise’s two flagship companies has resulted in a strong network of career and independent agents delivering core individual and group health insurance, Medicare supplemental products and a wide range of additional products. American Enterprise seeks to be a provider of choice for products that enhance the well-being and financial security of our customers.

Founded in 1903, the Omaha-based World Insurance Company is licensed to sell life and health products in 46 states and the District of Columbia. World contracts with more than 15,000 independent agents throughout the United States who sell our individual and group major medical insurance as well as our senior Medicare Supplement insurance.

World strives to create a business that operates efficiently and ethically to deliver quality, competitively priced products to our customers through strong business relationships with managing general agencies, brokerage and independent marketing organization distribution channels.
