Amwins launches employee benefits general agency and administrator

Three general agencies specialising in employee benefits – are coming together to become a national general agency: Amwins Connect Insurance Services.

The general agencies behind it - LISI, BrokerNet USA and Amwins Group Benefits Small Business – said it reflects their shared mission to provide efficient solutions and deep-rooted expertise in fully insured medical and ancillary product lines.

Amwins Connect Insurance Services offers its clients access to solutions in multiple lines of business, including medical, life, vision and disability insurances across multiple carriers as well as its P&C catalogue.

As a combined entity, Amwins Connect Insurance Services will provide its medical and ancillary group health insurance products and service across eight states including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington DC, with more to come.

"The future of the industry is here. Modern, digital insurance agencies have a broad reach and require a reliable national support structure," said Becky Patel, CEO of Amwins Connect. "As Amwins Connect, we will continue to provide the trusted service our brokers expect. In addition, we will empower them to deliver benefits in new regions accelerating their growth. As always, we're committed to our partners success, and we're part of the largest independent wholesale distributor of specialty insurance products in the United States."

Additionally, Amwins is rebranding Group Benefits Services, its Maryland based third party administrator, to Amwins Connect Administrators, effective April 1.

"As a national organization, the Amwins Connect mission is simple – to seamlessly connect every point of the benefits journey for brokers, carriers and their clients through continued innovation and extraordinary service from passionate people," said Adam Mathis, president of Amwins Connect.
