Our verdict

Mutual of Omaha is a US insurer built around protection that pays out when illness or death interrupts income, covering life, health, dental, critical illness and income protection. It suits US households and working adults who want a single insurer to hold those policies, and it was founded in 1909.

Who it suits

  • US adults in the 18-64 band who want a lump sum after a critical illness diagnosis.
  • Households bundling life and health cover under Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company rather than holding separate policies with separate insurers.
  • People who prefer an agent, an option included in phone, online portal and agent.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone outside the US, who would be better served by a provider closer to their own market such as Oney Préstamos ES.
  • Buyers after property, auto or travel cover, which Euroasia Insurance lists under auto, home and travel.
  • Households wanting life cover alone, since Linxea lists life and stops there.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of cover does Mutual of Omaha sell?+

The lineup runs to life, health and dental. The company describes itself as an insurer and the policies sit under Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, so a household can hold life, health, dental, critical illness and income protection with the same group.

How much would a critical illness policy pay out?+

Critical illness cover pays $10,000 to $100,000 on a covered diagnosis. That range covers the products listed, and the premium moves with the sum chosen and the age of the applicant.

Who can take out a critical illness policy?+

Critical illness cover is written for 18-64, so applicants have to sit inside that band. The policies are issued by Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company in the United States.

How are claims handled?+

Claims run through phone, online portal and agent, so a policyholder can start by phone, through the online portal or via an agent, depending on which route suits the situation at the time.

Who regulates the insurer?+

In the US the insurer is overseen by the Nebraska Insurance Department. Policies are issued by Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, which is based in the United States, so the state regulator applies rather than a UK or European authority.

How long has the company been trading?+

Mutual of Omaha was founded in 1909 and trades as Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company. A long trading record matters in protection cover, where a claim can be settled many years after the policy began.

Can I speak to someone about a policy?+

Support runs on phone and help centre for general questions, and agents also appear in phone, online portal and agent, so help and claims both reach a named person as well as digital channels, with the insurer acting as a single point of contact.
