MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- AIMS Benefit Solutions (http://aimsbenefits.com) has joined forces with MedLink, a national insurance broker, in order to better support annuity, life, health, and disability insurance agents through specialized staff and technology.

AIMS Benefit Solutions has been offering agents its newly expanded offerings since January 2010. Under the new relationship, AIMS provides marketing support for MedLink's LTCi agents while MedLink does the same for life offerings from AIMS agents.

"This new venture is part of our overall strategy of transitioning from a sole focus on LTCi products to offering multiple product lines," said Steve Dozier, president of AIMS Benefit Solutions. "We are teaming with top companies that hold the most competitive products in the life, annuity, and disability markets. Since MedLink's structure and personnel are very similar to our own, we are able to support each other's agent services seamlessly."

MedLink has also helped AIMS create a new Web site for life brokerage products at http://www.lifeandhealthonline.net/aims. "We always aim to provide unsurpassed service to insurance agents, and our new Web site will allow them to run proposals, review underwriting guidelines, download forms, send physician inquiries and request proposals from our staff," said Dozier.

In October 2009, as it began to expand its portfolio, AIMS changed its name to AIMS Benefit Solutions to signify the expansion into other markets. However, amid its ongoing transformation, the company has preserved its business model, processes and tools - licensing, training, support, material development and provision of innovative products - designed to facilitate agents' selling process from start to finish.
