Dearborn National Life Insurance Company of New York

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), a Mutual Legal Reserve Company. HCSC is the largest customer-owned health insurer in the United States, operating Blue Cross Blue Shield plans across five states. There are no external shareholders — the mutual structure means the company is effectively owned by its policyholders.

No. In 2020, the company sold its group life and disability business to Elevance Health, formerly known as Anthem. Following that divestiture, Dearborn National's primary function shifted toward managing legacy insurance blocks and serving as a licensed New York-domiciled carrier within the HCSC system rather than aggressively originating new business.

The general account is invested primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities. This allocation is designed to match the duration and liquidity profile of the insurer's liability base, consistent with statutory requirements for New York-domiciled life insurance companies. The portfolio is managed conservatively given the mutual ownership structure and absence of pressure to generate returns for external equity holders.

Dearborn National Life Insurance Company of New York is a direct subsidiary of HCSC and operates as part of its holding company system. Administrative functions are run out of HCSC's Chicago headquarters, and the insurer shares membership in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association through its parent. The entity provides HCSC with a New York life insurance charter.

The insurer is domiciled in New York and maintains a statutory home office in Pittsford, New York. This satisfies the requirement that a company writing insurance in New York State must be subject to the New York Department of Financial Services' regulatory oversight and maintain a physical presence in the state, even though operational management runs through Chicago.
