Northeast Delta Dental, through our affiliate, Red Tree Holdings, Inc., has acquired Combined Services, LLC, a general insurance agency, from Fort Dearborn Life Insurance Company, effective December 31, 2009. Having Combined Services on board as a member of the Northeast Delta Dental companies facilitates our efforts to diversify and sustain a solid future for our enterprise, especially in light of dental market saturation in ME, NH and VT, and the effects of Health Care Reform legislation. By acquiring Combined Services, this provides the Northeast Delta Dental enterprise with COBRA and Flex Claim processing lines of business, plus Combined Services will continue to offer Fort Dearborn Life’s group and voluntary life and disability products in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Strategic diversification will serve to keep the Northeast Delta Dental companies vitale and thriving, which supports our core mission of group dental benefits and oral health. Official Press Release.
