INSURANCE MATTERS Oklahomans serving Oklahomans By Richard Newberry General Manager, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company
e are Oklahomans serving Oklahomans. What other insurance company in our state can say that? It’s in our name. We are your neighbor down the street, fellow church member, little league coach and FFA supporter. We are over 800 strong, working OKFB partners in your local communities. We couldn’t be your professional Oklahoma Farm Bureau Insurance agent if we weren’t a fellow Oklahoman first. We are the first to respond after that storm, car accident, wildfire or disaster because we know exactly where the friends we serve live and thrive. It’s no coincidence we are located in all 77 counties. When our competitors are handing out water bottles, we are handing out checks. Why? We know when we watch the news and see a neighborhood devastated by storms, that’s your neighborhood. We don’t sit idly by the phone waiting to hear from a claims department located in another state. We get in our car and drive to your home to help you begin the arduous task of healing from a disaster. We are swift to respond, because OFBMIC has nine claims offices located conveniently around the state to provide unprecedented response service. When a large-scale disaster strikes Oklahoma, we can’t always be everywhere at once, but our Oklahoma Strong spirit can. In the event of an unfortunate loss, we have real people who answer your calls 24/7 via our toll free phone number. Just dial 1-877-OFB-CLAIMS. Your call will never be forwarded to an afterhours recording or message service. Real people will be there to help you with your real needs. We also have staff available to serve you 24/7, in the event your home becomes unlivable due to a covered loss.
OFBMIC agents are mobile and so is your life. We have created an online portal that allows you to check membership status, print documents related to policies, including declarations, invoices, security verification forms, and more. Members may view policy details, payment history and claims history. With the OKFB Insured Portal, users also can make premium payments with a debit, checking or savings account by visiting www.okfarminsurance.com and clicking, “Login to my Insurance.” If you are not a registered user, click on the link, “Sign up for a New Account,” and have one of these items on hand: zip code, premium amount, phone number, last billed amount, date of birth, or driver’s license. — Richard Newberry OFBMIC has been protecting the livelihood of Oklahomans for over 60 years, and we will continue to be the voice of agriculture and to protect your interests for years to come. Although our mission is protecting the lives of rural Oklahomans, we are proud to serve the needs of all Oklahomans because this is our home, too!
