History of Oxford Life®
Oxford Life® was founded in the Grand Canyon state of Arizona in 1965. In 1997,
we expanded our services with the acquisition of a Wisconsin based insurance holding
company, Encore Financial. Encore Financial owned the stock of North American Insurance
Company™ (NAI), a company with an outstanding record as a third party administrator
of Medicare supplement insurance programs. North American™ provides premium
and claim administration for approximately 60,000 Medicare supplement policyholders
located throughout the United States.
In 2000, Oxford Life® further expanded its growth and distribution in the Medicare
supplement market with the acquisition of Christian Fidelity Life Insurance Company®
(Christian Fidelity). Christian Fidelity® is a high quality Medicare supplement
and final expense life insurance company with competitive premiums, excellent service
and an outstanding sales force. It contains some of the most knowledgeable, dependable
and professional producers in the industry. Today, after amassing over 50 years
of experience, Christian Fidelity® remains committed to providing quality products
to the senior market. Individual Medicare supplement products are administered for
over 30,000 insured throughout the majority of the United States.
In February 2006, Christian Fidelity® continued its growth in the Texas Medicare
supplement marketplace with the acquisition of Dallas General Life Insurance Company™.
Not only did this allow for more growth within our niche senior market focus, but
Dallas General™ is a fitting complement to our family of companies; it contains
approximately 7,500 Medicare supplement policyholders and nearly 1,000 producers
throughout Texas.
In 2003, Oxford Life® qualified to become a member of the Insurance Marketplace
Standards Association (IMSA). This national organization is dedicated to promoting
high ethical standards in the marketing, selling, and servicing of individually
sold life insurance, annuities and long-term care insurance. IMSA is a voluntary,
non-profit organization created in 1996 to strengthen consumer trust and confidence
in the insurance industry. As a member, we are committed to maintain high ethical
standards and to be fair, honest, and open in our advertising, selling, and servicing
of products. In doing so, Oxford Life® and its subsidiaries remain fully committed
to the continuity of quality service.
