Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlantic American Corporation (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Parent, the “Company”). The Parent’s primary operating subsidiaries, American Southern Insurance Company and American Safety Insurance Company (together known as “American Southern”) and Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company and Bankers Fidelity Assurance Company (together known as “Bankers Fidelity”), operate in two principal business units. American Southern operates in the property and casualty insurance market, while Bankers Fidelity operates in the life and health insurance market. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The Company’s financial condition and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations and cash flows that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other future period. The Company’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those set out in the 2020 Annual Report, except as noted below for the adoption of new accounting standards. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact the Company’s business operations in March 2020, and we expect that the pandemic, actions that have been or will be taken in response to it and its overall impact on the economy, will continue to have an effect on our business operations and our operating results. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries may experience difficulties collecting premiums from some policyholders, and policyholders with financial difficulties may decide not to renew insurance policies with the Company. Although the ultimate impact cannot be predicted with certainty at this time, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries do not expect a direct material impact from the outbreak of COVID-19 in terms of increased claims and losses, but that may change as more information becomes available. In addition, economic uncertainty related to COVID-19 has led to, and may continue to create, increased volatility in the investment markets. The impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on the Company continues to evolve and its future effects are uncertain. The Company continues to monitor the effects and risks of COVID-19 to assess its impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital position. |

Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, changes in general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near term recovery prospects and the effects of changes in interest rates. In evaluating a potential impairment, the Company considers, among other factors, management’s intent and ability to hold the securities until price recovery, the nature of the investment and the expectation of prospects for the issuer and its industry, the status of an issuer’s continued satisfaction of its obligations in accordance with their contractual terms, and management’s expectation as to the issuer’s ability and intent to continue to do so, as well as ratings actions that may affect the issuer’s credit status. There were no OTTI charges recorded during the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were thirty-seven and twenty securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position which primarily included certain of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities within the utilities and telecom, financial services, other diversified business and other diversified consumer sectors. The increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position during the three month period ended March 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to a decline in market values in certain of the Company’s fixed maturity securities as a result of a rising interest rate environment. The Company does not currently intend to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position. Based upon the Company’s expected continuation of receipt of contractually required principal and interest payments and its intent and ability to retain the securities until price recovery, as well as the Company’s evaluation of other relevant factors, including those described above, the Company has deemed these securities to be temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2021. The following table is a summary of realized investment gains for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Fixed Maturities Equity Securities Other Invested Assets Total Gains $ 121 $ — $ — $ 121 Losses — — — — Realized investment gains, net $ 121 $ — $ — $ 121 Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Fixed Maturities Equity Securities Other Invested Assets Total Gains $ 249 $ — $ — $ 249 Losses — — — — Realized investment gains, net $ 249 $ — $ — $ 249 The following table presents the portion of unrealized gains (losses) related to equity securities still held for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company’s VIE interests principally consist of interests in limited partnerships and limited liability companies formed for the purpose of achieving diversified equity returns. The Company’s VIE interests, carried as a part of other invested assets, totaled $3,183 and $3,238 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s VIE interests, carried as a part of investment in unconsolidated trusts, totaled $1,238 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs and thus is not the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Company has not consolidated these VIEs. The Company’s involvement with each VIE is limited to its direct ownership interest in the VIE. The Company has no arrangements with any of the VIEs to provide other financial support to or on behalf of the VIE. The Company’s maximum loss exposure relative to these investments was limited to the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the VIEs, which amount to $4,421 and $4,476, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments totaling $1,997, whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. |

However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the estimates of fair value. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following describes the fair value hierarchy and provides information as to the extent to which the Company uses fair value to measure the value of its financial instruments and information about the inputs used to value those financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 1 criteria include cash equivalents and exchange traded common stocks. Level 2 Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for an asset or liability or prices for similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 2 criteria include significantly most of its fixed maturities, which consist of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate fixed maturities, as well as its non-redeemable preferred stocks. In determining fair value measurements of its fixed maturities and non-redeemable preferred stocks using Level 2 criteria, the Company utilizes data from outside sources, including nationally recognized pricing services and broker/dealers. Prices for the majority of the Company’s Level 2 fixed maturities and non-redeemable preferred stocks were determined using unadjusted prices received from pricing services that utilize models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities) or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Fair value is based on criteria that use assumptions or other data that are not readily observable from objective sources. With little or no observable market, the determination of fair values uses considerable judgment and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 3 criteria consist of two fixed maturity securities and one equity security. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the fixed maturities valued using Level 3 criteria was $250 and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the equity security valued using Level 3 criteria was $83 and $143, respectively. The equity security is not traded and valued at cost. The use of different criteria or assumptions regarding data may have yielded materially different valuations. As of March 31, 2021, financial instruments carried at fair value were measured on a recurring basis as summarized below: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Assets: Fixed maturities $ — $ 246,551 $ 250 $ 246,801 Equity securities 17,817 — 83 17,900 Cash equivalents 9,011 — — 9,011 Total $ 26,828 $ 246,551 $ 333 $ 273,712 As of December 31, 2020, financial instruments carried at fair value were measured on a recurring basis as summarized below: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Assets: Fixed maturities $ — $ 254,106 $ — $ 254,106 Equity securities 18,573 — 143 18,716 Cash equivalents 12,010 — — 12,010 Total $ 30,583 $ 254,106 $ 143 $ 284,832 The following table sets forth the carrying amount, estimated fair value and level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Liabilities for Unpaid Losses, Claims and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Note 5. Liabilities for Unpaid Losses, Claims and Loss Adjustment Expenses The roll-forward of liabilities for unpaid losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Beginning liabilities for unpaid losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses, gross $ 79,147 $ 81,448 Less: Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses (17,600 ) (18,339 ) Beginning liabilities for unpaid losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses, net 61,547 63,109 Incurred related to: Current accident year 32,928 35,985 Prior accident year development (1) 475 (2) (2,583 ) (3) Total incurred 33,403 33,402 Paid related to: Current accident year 10,917 14,008 Prior accident years 20,984 20,856 Total paid 31,901 34,864 Ending liabilities for unpaid losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses, net 63,049 61,647 Plus: Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses 18,236 18,548 Ending liabilities for unpaid losses, claims and loss adjustment expenses, gross $ 81,285 $ 80,195 (1) In establishing property and casualty reserves, the Company initially reserves for losses at the higher end of the reasonable range if no other value within the range is determined to be more probable. Selection of such an initial loss estimate is an attempt by management to give recognition that initial claims information received generally is not conclusive with respect to legal liability, is generally not comprehensive with respect to magnitude of loss and generally, based on historical experience, will develop more adversely as time passes and more information becomes available. Accordingly, the Company generally experiences reserve redundancies when analyzing the development of prior year losses in a current period. (2) Prior years’ development was primarily the result of unfavorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity. Partially offsetting the unfavorable development was favorable development in the property and casualty operations. (3) Prior years’ development was primarily the result of favorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity. Rate increases on existing business and the resultant improvement in rate adequacy was more favorable than expected. Following is a reconciliation of total incurred losses to total insurance benefits and losses incurred: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Total incurred losses $ 33,403 $ 33,402 Cash surrender value and matured endowments 247 368 Benefit reserve changes (378 ) (187 ) Total insurance benefits and losses incurred $ 33,272 $ 33,583 |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Note 9. Leases The Company has two operating lease agreements, each for the use of office space in the ordinary course of business. The first lease renews annually on an automatic basis and based on original assumptions, management is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option through 2026. The original term of the second lease was ten years and amended in January 2017 to provide for an additional seven years, with a termination date on September 30, 2026. The rate used in determining the present value of lease payments is based upon an estimate of the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the underlying lease. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, whereby lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease expense reported for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was $254. Additional information regarding the Company’s real estate operating leases is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, Other information on operating leases: 2021 2020 Cash payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities reported in operating cash flows $ 251 $ 978 Right-of-use assets included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet 4,664 5,319 Weighted average discount rate 6.8 % 6.8 % Weighted average remaining lease term in years 5.6 years 6.6 years The following table presents maturities and present value of the Company’s lease liabilities: Lease Liability Remainder of 2021 $ 764 2022 1,031 2023 1,048 2024 1,065 2025 1,083 Thereafter 942 Total undiscounted lease payments 5,933 Less: present value adjustment 1,031 Operating lease liability included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet $ 4,902 As of March 31, 2021, the Company has no operating leases that have not yet commenced. |

[1] | In establishing property and casualty reserves, the Company initially reserves for losses at the higher end of the reasonable range if no other value within the range is determined to be more probable. Selection of such an initial loss estimate is an attempt by management to give recognition that initial claims information received generally is not conclusive with respect to legal liability, is generally not comprehensive with respect to magnitude of loss and generally, based on historical experience, will develop more adversely as time passes and more information becomes available. Accordingly, the Company generally experiences reserve redundancies when analyzing the development of prior year losses in a current period. | ||||
[2] | Prior years' development was primarily the result of unfavorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity. Partially offsetting the unfavorable development was favorable development in the property and casualty operations. | ||||
[3] | Prior years' development was primarily the result of favorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity. Rate increases on existing business and the resultant improvement in rate adequacy was more favorable than expected. |
