The Benefit Doctor Expands Support for Insurance Brokers By Acquiring Virtual Admin Network

A nationwide benefits agency acquires the Virtual Admin Network, LLC, to provide operational support for brokers and clients, ensuring reliable and consistent service.

(PRUnderground) April 8th, 2025

Since 2020, The Benefit Doctor has been striving to change how businesses approach employee benefits. Their brokers directly address the frustration and confusion employers and employees experience. In a strategic move to strengthen its operational infrastructure and redefine the broker experience, The Benefit Doctor has officially acquired Virtual Admin Network, LLC, a company that has spent nearly two decades providing back-office support to independent insurance agents across the country.

Founded in 2008, Virtual Admin Network has built a reputation as a trusted partner for employee benefits brokers overwhelmed by the administrative demands of their business. From handling renewals and policy support to managing client communications and carrier coordination, their experienced team has helped agents stay focused on what matters most — serving clients.

Now, as part of The Benefit Doctor, that operational expertise is being integrated into a fast-growing platform designed to transform how benefits are delivered to businesses and their employees.

“One of the most exciting outcomes of the acquisition is the appointment of Greta Dean, the former Chief Operating Officer of Virtual Admin Network, to serve as the new Operations Director at The Benefit Doctor,” said Zak Harlow, CEO of The Benefit Doctor. “She’s spent her career building scalable systems and supporting brokers behind the scenes so they can shine in front of clients. Her leadership will ensure that our brokers — and the HR teams and businesses we serve — get an elite, consistent, and reliable experience.”

For years, brokers have faced a difficult tradeoff — grow the book or manage the business. The Benefit Doctor aims to eliminate that tradeoff entirely. With the Virtual Admin Network now part of its core infrastructure, BenDoc brokers receive:

  • End-to-end back-office support
  • Renewal and policy tracking
  • Enrollment assistance and employee communication support
  • CRM and technology management
  • Carrier coordination and issue resolution

The acquisition is another milestone in The Benefit Doctor’s larger vision to transform the employee benefits consulting landscape. Paired with Zak Harlow’s 8-Secrets Training System, the Cure the Pain framework, and now a national-level support infrastructure, BenDoc is delivering a level of consistency and strategy rarely seen in the industry.
