"Tony and his team have gone above and beyond to deeply understand the needs of those they serve. In Integrity, they have found an organization that understands their needs as a company," said Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity.

As an Integrity partner, the Global Premier Benefits team can access Integrity's supportive infrastructure of shared business services, allowing them to redirect valuable time toward serving more community members.

Integrity's omnichannel insurtech platform encompasses proprietary technology designed to help Global Premier Benefits scale faster, including resources such as CRM, MedicareCENTER, data and analytics, and quoting and enrollment systems.

Global Premier Benefits will share its experience working with additional needs-based markets with Integrity's continuously expanding partner network. This collaborative collection of forward-thinking industry leaders and icons develop and optimize innovative insurance and financial processes that help American consumers prepare for the good days ahead.
