About Amalgamated Life

The Amalgamated history is a rich one that demonstrates the innovative and dynamic culture from which it grew. Amalgamated Life began operation in 1943 to provide life insurance, health and disability coverage and retirement benefits to members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. In January 1992, Amalgamated Life was approved by the New York State Insurance Department to sell life, health and disability insurance commercially outside our traditional non-profit base. This opened up new opportunities for growth for Amalgamated Life. Our customers are primarily trade union members covered under Taft-Hartley health and welfare and pension plans. In 1997, Alicare, an Amalgamated affiliate, launched the Labor Health Alliance, a purchasing cooperative for union sponsored health and welfare funds. The focus of this alliance is joint purchasing of Medicare risk contracts.

In 1987 Amalgamated Life formed three subsidiaries: Alicomp, Inc., which provides customized information technology solutions; Alicare, Inc., a third party administrator of health benefits plans; and Amalgamated Agency, Inc., the brokerage arm of the company which specializes in providing fiduciary liability and other risk management services. In 1998, a new affiliate, Alicare Medical Management, Inc. (AMM) was formed. AMM offers a complete line of telephonic utilization review and managed care services and is located in Salem, New Hampshire where there are approximately 50 staff members, many of them nursing professionals.
