An insurer has started offering general access to a program that relies on a single information technology system to support a wide range of employee-paid benefits.
Unum Group Corp., Chattanooga, Tenn., says it has started selling the Simply Unum program in 19 states and plans to sell the program in 23 additional states by June 1.
Unum first announced Simply Unum in August 2007. The company initially sold the program through pilot program offices in Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; Milwaukee; and Minneapolis.
