Get to Know Your Agency and Your Carrier

When you purchased a supplemental health insurance policy marketed by Platinum Supplemental Insurance, you completed your application with your local Platinum insurance agent. At the time, your agent probably mentioned our partnership with State Mutual Insurance Company. Platinum is your supplemental health insurance agency, and State Mutual is the underwriting carrier.

You are likely familiar with this arrangement. Most home and auto insurance policies are sold for a national carrier by a local agent. This makes it possible for you to access stable, high-quality insurance products through face-to-face interaction with an individual you trust.

Without further ado, let us introduce you to your supplemental health insurance agency and your carrier. Then, we’ll review who you need to contact in case of a question or claim.

Your Insurance Agency:

Platinum Supplemental Insurance is your supplemental health insurance agency. Platinum markets affordable, benefit-rich supplemental health insurance policies that can provide peace of mind if you ever become hospitalized due to a covered accident or critical illness, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke. We meet with thousands of customers one-on-one each year, and we use those trusted conversations to continue developing and improving policies that respond to the specific needs of our rural customers.

You purchased your supplemental coverage from a Platinum sales representative. And, if you have a question about your policy, or you need to start a claim, you call our friendly, knowledgeable customer service team in our Dubuque, Iowa, office.

Your Insurance Carrier:

To underwrite the policies we design, Platinum carefully selects respected carrier partners that understand our customers’ needs. Platinum currently offers policies that are underwritten by State Mutual Insurance Company. State Mutual is headquartered in Rome, Georgia. The company has an extensive history serving seniors and rural communities.

State Mutual issues the insurance policies that provide the financial protection against losses you may incur due to covered claims. If you ever need to file a claim, you will start with a call to Platinum Supplemental Insurance.
