Enrollment when you need it

For licensed insurance brokers
Colonial Life worksite benefits support for insurance brokers.
Cory District is Colonial Life's Denver district, a general agency and enrollment team for brokers placing voluntary and worksite benefits in Colorado, Wyoming, and beyond. You choose the scope while remaining at the center of the client relationship.
20 minutes. No census, no paperwork.
A flexible partner
As much support as the case needs. No more than the broker wants.
Some brokers want a general agency and enrollment team to carry the operational work. Others have strong internal teams and need help only with products, enrollment, or service. Cory District works within the broker's model.
Built where the client works
Have a platform? We can build on it when access and scope allow. Need a platform? Cory District can provide Employee Navigator. The scope follows the account and broker's actual needs.
Service at the right depth
Use Cory District for a defined handoff or for new hires, billing questions, claims questions, and annual enrollment planning with a named coordinator.

Broker perspective
What brokers say
Partnership is measured in the work after the introduction: the answers, the build, the enrollment, and the service that protects the client relationship.
“Quick quotes, straight answers on the products, and a team that actually picks up the phone. Dan's district has made adding worksite benefits to my cases simple.”
“When I partner with Dan, I don't just get Dan, who knows these products cold — I get his whole team. Somebody picks up the phone. Somebody answers the email. Platform builds, year-round support, claims questions, all of it. They've made doing worksite a breeze for my clients and for me.”
“We put Colonial in front of a lot of our groups, and the reason is the Cory District. Dan brings the product knowledge and the answers; his team brings the follow-through — the build, the enrollment, the service after. Our clients get a real partner, and so do we.”
“I send Dan a group and I know it's handled like it's his own client. He knows the products inside and out, his team knows the platforms, and when my client has a question after enrollment there's a person on the other end of the phone, not a portal. That's a partnership.”
