National MGA Insurance Alliance

What National MGA Insurance Alliance does

National MGA Insurance Alliance, Inc. is a privately held insurance marketing organization (MGA) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Brownsville, Texas, with a secondary office in Boerne, Texas. The company aggregates insurance products from multiple carriers—including Manhattan Life, Assurity, and MetLife/Davis Vision—into a single portfolio spanning employee benefits, individual life insurance, and retirement planning, and distributes them through a national network of more than 5,100 contracted independent insurance agents, general agents, and managing general agents. Agent contracting is handled through the SuranceBay SureLC digital platform, while consumers can also access individual dental, vision, hearing, short-term disability, term life, and accidental death coverage through direct self-enrollment portals hosted on carrier sites.

The company's revenue model is commission-based: it earns overrides and volume-based bonuses from carrier partners based on the aggregate production of its agent-partner network, supplemented by direct-to-consumer sales for individual products. Its customer base is bifurcated—insurance agents and agencies (B2B, contract-and-distribute) on one side, and individual consumers and small employer groups (B2C/B2b, policy purchase) on the other. Notable engagements include the administration of Brownsville Independent School District's MetLife/Davis Vision plan, where the company handles passive enrollment rollover and in-person campus support.

National MGA is founder-led, co-founded by Dino X. Chavez (CEO) and Stephen M. Andrus (President), with no disclosed venture capital, private equity backing, or institutional investors. There are no public filings, no reported revenue figures, and no AI/ML capabilities or proprietary technology platform disclosed in the available data; the company's website is hosted on Weebly and the product experience relies on carrier- and partner-hosted portals (Assurity quickstart, Manhattan Life direct, SuranceBay SureLC). The company reports 501-1,000 employees, suggesting an established mid-sized MGA operation rather than a venture-backed insurtech.

Core offering

National MGA Insurance Alliance is an insurance marketing organization that aggregates employee benefit, life insurance, and retirement products from top-rated carriers and distributes them through a national network of 5,100+ contracted independent agents. It also offers direct-to-consumer self-enrollment for selected coverages via carrier-hosted portals, and supports agent onboarding through the SuranceBay contracting platform.

Product overview

National MGA Insurance Alliance operates as an insurance marketing organization (MGA/alliance) that aggregates products from multiple insurance carriers to offer through agent-partners. The company does not appear to offer a unified software platform; rather, it provides access to a portfolio of employee benefit plans (Group Medical, Gap, Defined Contribution, Dental, Vision, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, Hospital Indemnity, Critical Illness, Accident, Cancer, Heart/Stroke, Long-Term Care), life insurance products (Term Life, Universal Life, Whole Life, Group Life via Assurity), and retirement planning solutions (annuities, IRAs, 403B, 401K, SEPs). Products are accessed through external portals including Assurity for individual coverage (short-term disability, level term life, accidental death, critical illness), ManhattanLife for dental/vision/hearing, MetLife/Davis Vision for district-specific vision plans, and SuranceBay for agent contracting. A Life Quoting Tool supports individual life insurance quotations. The core value proposition is leveraging carrier relationships to provide unique employee benefit and retirement planning solutions with competitive commissions for agent-partners.
