Benefits Done
Right. Every Time.
I'm Dan Cory, owner of the Cory District and Colonial Life Independent Agent based in Colorado. My team has spent nearly a decade building something we're genuinely proud of: a benefits operation that works for businesses, their employees, and the brokers who serve them.
Growth Team
Built on Results.
Backed by the Best.
I started this district in 2016 with a clear focus: build a team that actually delivers. Not just at enrollment, but every year after. Today, we're one of only two Diamond Growth Teams in the entire country, and we've been named District of the Year for Colorado and Wyoming six years in a row.
We're based in Colorado but work with clients in all 50 states. What sets us apart isn't just the products. It's the infrastructure we've built around them. A dedicated account management team, a national agent network, and a technology approach that meets clients exactly where they are.
- One of only 2 Diamond Growth Teams in the nation, Colonial Life's highest team designation
- District of the Year for Colorado and Wyoming, 6 consecutive years
- An account manager assigned to your group, committed to your long-term success
- Access to a national network of 1,500+ licensed benefits agents across all 50 states
- Technology-flexible: we build in your existing platform or provide our own
- Full enrollment support for open enrollment, new hires, off-boarding, and beyond
Nearly a Decade. Real Results.

Three Things We Do Better Than Anyone
We've built our entire operation around three areas where we know we can make a real difference for your business and your people.
Coverage That Actually Fits
Colonial Life has some of the best price points, coverage options, and flexibility in the market. We build benefit portfolios that are genuinely competitive, not just checkbox coverage. Whether your employees need life, disability, accident, critical illness, cancer, or hospital coverage, we design plans around what your workforce actually needs.
Your Platform or Ours. We Work Either Way.
Already have an HR or benefits platform? We'll build directly inside it. No existing tech? We'll set you up with a fully customized enrollment system, walk your team through it, and leave behind a complete support system so you're never on your own. The goal is zero friction for HR and a smooth experience for every employee.
Enrollment Is Just the Beginning
We support every stage of the employee lifecycle: open enrollment, new hires, off-boarding, and year two and beyond. That means digital postcards, text messaging campaigns, and one-on-one benefits counselors who sit down with employees and make sure they actually understand what they have. Education drives utilization. Utilization drives retention.
Our Product Portfolio
As a Colonial Life and Unum district, we have access to both product portfolios, giving us the flexibility to build truly competitive benefit packages. All products are offered at the worksite, paid by employees through payroll deduction at no direct cost to employers.
Dental Insurance
Comprehensive dental coverage for preventive care, basic and major services. A top-requested benefit that employees notice and use.
Accident Insurance
Cash benefits paid directly to employees for covered accidents, ER visits, therapy, and follow-up care.
Disability Insurance
Short and long-term disability plans that replace income when employees can't work due to illness or injury.
Critical Illness
Lump-sum benefits for heart attack, stroke, cancer diagnosis, and other covered conditions.
Cancer Insurance
Specialized coverage for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery including chemo, radiation, and surgery.
Hospital Confinement
Daily cash benefits for hospital stays, helping employees manage unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Vision Insurance
Vision coverage for eye exams, glasses, and contacts. An affordable benefit employees appreciate and use every year.
Life Insurance
Term and whole life coverage with portable policies that stay with employees regardless of job changes.
Benefits, exclusions, and availability vary by state. For complete product information, visit ColonialLife.com.
What Makes Our Team Different
There are a lot of Colonial Life agents out there. Here's what we've built that most haven't.
Broker-First Partnership Model
We're built to be a supportive arm for brokers, not a competitor. You keep the relationship. We bring the products, the enrollment infrastructure, and the national team to back it all up.
National Reach, Local Accountability
We're based in Colorado but work with clients in all 50 states. Our national network of 1,500+ agents means we can support enrollment anywhere, while you still have a direct line to Dan and our account management team.
Dedicated Account Management
Not a call center. Not a ticket system. An account manager assigned to your group who knows your account, remembers your employees, and shows up every year, not just at open enrollment.
Technology That Meets You Where You Are
Already using an HR platform? We'll build inside it. No tech in place? We'll set you up with a fully customized enrollment system and walk your team through it. Either way, we leave behind a full support system.
Communication That Drives Participation
Digital postcards, text messaging campaigns, one-on-one benefits counselors. We don't just enroll employees, we educate them. Higher participation means better outcomes for everyone.
Diamond Growth Team
One of only two Diamond Growth Teams in the entire country. That's not a marketing claim. It's Colonial Life's highest team designation, earned through consistent results and client retention year over year.
Built for Businesses.
Built for Brokers.
Whether you're a business owner looking to strengthen your benefits package, or a broker looking for a reliable voluntary benefits partner. We've built our operation to serve you well.
"Here's what most business owners don't realize: you can offer your employees life insurance, disability, accident, and critical illness coverage without it costing your business a dollar. Employees pay through payroll deduction. We handle enrollment. Your HR team gets their time back."
- Zero direct cost to your business, employees fund their own coverage through payroll deduction
- We integrate with your existing HR or benefits platform, or set you up with ours
- Enrollment support for open enrollment, new hires, and off-boarding
- Digital postcards and text campaigns to drive employee participation
- One-on-one benefits counselors who educate employees, not just sign them up
- An account manager assigned to your group for ongoing service and annual reviews
Let's See What We Can Build Together
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation about what's possible for your business or your clients.
How We Got Here
Nearly a decade of building something worth being proud of: one client, one enrollment, one relationship at a time.
District Founded
Dan Cory launched the district with a straightforward goal: build a team that actually delivers for clients, not just at enrollment, but every year after. Rocky Mountain Enrollment Solutions was established as a Colonial Life Independent Agent operation.
First District of the Year Award
Within two years, the district earned its first District of the Year recognition for Colorado and Wyoming, a reflection of the team's commitment to client retention and enrollment quality.
Broker Partnership Program Built Out
We formalized our approach to broker relationships, building a co-enrollment model that lets brokers offer Colonial Life voluntary benefits to their clients without adding operational burden to their team.
Virtual Enrollment Capabilities Launched
When the world shifted, we were ready. We launched full virtual enrollment capabilities, keeping employees connected to their benefits counselors regardless of where they were working.
Technology Integration Expanded
We built out our technology-flexible enrollment model: the ability to work inside a client's existing HR platform or deploy our own customized system. No client gets left behind on tech.
Diamond Growth Team Designation
Recognized as one of only two Diamond Growth Teams in the entire country, Colonial Life's highest team designation. Six consecutive District of the Year awards for Colorado and Wyoming.
450+ Clients. Dedicated Account Management. Still Growing.
We now serve over 450 active clients across all 50 states, backed by a national network of 1,500+ agents and a dedicated account management team. The foundation is strong. The best is still ahead.
Trusted by Businesses & Brokers
A track record built on results and relationships that last well beyond enrollment.
"We'd tried other voluntary benefits carriers before, and the enrollment always felt like an afterthought. Dan's team was different. They showed up prepared, communicated with our employees ahead of time, and our participation rate was the highest we'd ever seen."
"I've been a broker for 15 years and I'm selective about who I bring into my client relationships. Dan's team has earned that trust. They support the enrollment, handle the communication, and never try to go around me. That's rare."
"What sold me was the technology piece. We already had an HRIS system and didn't want to add another platform. They built everything directly inside what we were already using. Our HR team didn't have to learn anything new."
"Year two is where most benefits vendors disappear. Dan's account management team reached out proactively before our renewal, reviewed our participation data, and came with actual recommendations. That's the kind of partner we want."
"My clients ask me about voluntary benefits more than ever. Having a team like Dan's in my corner means I can say yes with confidence. They handle everything on the back end and my clients are happy. That's all I need."
"The text messaging campaign before open enrollment was something we'd never done before. Employee participation jumped compared to the previous year. The communication strategy alone was worth it."
