Members of the National Association of Health Underwriters have named Unum their favorite disability carrier.

"Unum has been the market leader for group and individual disability insurance for 33 consecutive years," said Mike Simonds, senior vice president for Unum, in a released statement. "We appreciate this recognition from NAHU members as it underscores our commitment to excellence in product innovation and customer service, and to the outstanding support we provide to the people who turn to us at claim time."

Simonds points to Unum's Simply Unum benefits platform and its new enhanced disability offering as the latest in its 160-year history of benefits innovation.

"Particularly in this economy, our customers demand creative and cost-effective employee benefit solutions that are high-value and low-stress," Simonds said. "Simply Unum and the enhanced disability offering are a perfect fit for NAHU advisers who are helping their clients find a solution that combines benefit choice, funding flexibility, effective education and simplified administration."

NAHU members sell traditional health insurance products, but also disability, long-term care, dental, and a variety of consumer-driven and voluntary products. In January, NAHU asked its members to name their favorite companies and products in a number of categories. Survey respondents supplied their own answers rather than selecting from multiple choice suggestions.

NAHU's favorites in the disability market were published in the April issue of Health Insurance Underwriter magazine. In March, the magazine published the list of preferred voluntary benefits carriers, and sister companies Colonial Life and Unum ranked first and third, respectively.
