Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Management organizes the business into five operating segments:
Life—consists of whole, term, universal, indexed and variable life insurance. Products are primarily sold through career, multiple-line, and independent agents as well as direct marketing channels.
Annuity—consists of fixed, indexed, and variable annuity products. Products are primarily sold through independent agents, brokers, and financial institutions, along with multiple-line and career agents.
Health—consists of Medicare Supplement, stop loss, other supplemental health products and credit disability insurance. Products are typically distributed through independent agents and managing general underwriters.
Property and Casualty—consists of personal, agricultural and targeted commercial coverages and credit-related property insurance. Products are primarily sold through multiple-line and independent agents or managing general agents.
Corporate and Other—consists of net investment income from investments and certain expenses not allocated to the insurance segments and revenues and related expenses from non-insurance operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of American National’s 2019 annual report on Form 10-K. All revenues and expenses specifically attributable to policy transactions are recorded directly to the appropriate operating segment. Revenues and expenses not specifically attributable to policy transactions are allocated to each segment as follows:
Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each line of business at the average yield available from these assets.
Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other segment.
Expenses are charged to segments through direct identification and allocations based upon various factors.
The results of operations measured as the income (loss) before federal income tax and other items by operating segments are summarized below (in thousands):
