Best Life Insurance in Michigan

70 life insurers ranked by formal complaint rates filed with state regulators. Lower complaints = better claims experience.

When policyholders and their families in Michigan file a claim, often at the worst possible time, the experience varies widely from one company to the next. The 70 life insurers ranked below are graded solely on formal complaints filed against them with state insurance regulators, not on price, advertising, or paid customer surveys. A higher grade means a company drew proportionally fewer complaints about claim delays, underpayments, and denials than its competitors.

Across the 70 graded companies, the breakdown is 16 A grades, 25 B grades, 24 C grades, 4 D grades, and 1 F grade. AMERICAN UNITED LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, AUGUSTAR LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION, and COLUMBIAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY post the strongest claims records in Michigan, each drawing fewer complaints than the industry average. At the other end, AMERICO FINANCIAL LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY and Transamerica Life Insurance Company draw complaints at well above the typical rate. Compare every rated insurer below before you buy or switch, and weigh these grades alongside price and coverage rather than in place of them.
