Symetra Group Life and Disability Now Available on eSales 

Nov. 11, 2026

Applies to Small Groups

Following Symetra’s 2025 acquisition of Dearborn Life Insurance Company’s Life, Absence and Disability business and multi-year distribution agreement, Symetra began selling and administering LAD products, including onboarding, billing, claims and ongoing customer service, through Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas sales teams and channels.

Now, Symetra’s Group LAD products are available to quote and enroll through eSales for groups with 50 or fewer lives and effective dates beginning Feb. 1, 2027.

Plans specifically designed for smaller groups

Symetra’s predesigned plans are similar to the prior Dearborn LAD offerings. These standardized plans simplify the sales and onboarding experience for employers and brokers, creating a simple path to providing financial security for more employees and their families.

A streamlined eSales experience

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois sales teams can quote and enroll Symetra’s LAD products through eSales. Once the medical or dental sale is confirmed, Symetra will handle onboarding separately.
