Too late now

Cellular carriers do not insure the iPhone, Apple does have it's own protection program at an additional cost. The OP should check the Apple internet site for details.

Sorry about that, my error. I didn't think that At&t ever offered insurance on the iPhone.

If I am not mistaken....

You only have 30 days to add insurance to a phone, after that time period it is too late.

Speak with your insurance agent

Although it may still require you to add it to a policy within 90 days of purchase. YMMV, as usual. More options, including Square Trade (like Apple Care).
