LTC Global Acquires NorthCoast: Deals

Integrity Marketing Group LLC of Dallas, has acquired Access Capital Group LLC of Omaha, Nebraska, for a price that was not disclosed.

Integrity Marketing is a private-equity owned insurance marketing organization that has been growing rapidly through acquisitions.

Access Capital provides financing for insurance agents and agencies. The company uses information about policy renewals to estimate the value of client relationships and provide financing tied to projected commission revenue streams.

Bryan Neary and Dave Emerton, the principals and co-founders at Access Capital, will become managing partners with Integrity Marketing, according to Integrity Marketing.

Health Gorilla, of Sunnyvale, California, has raised $15 million in financing from a group of investors that includes the venture capital arms of Aflac Inc. and Nationwide.

Health Gorilla develops application program interfaces, or electronic sockets that outside organizations can use to plug into the collections of personal health information created by hospitals, health care systems and group medical practices.

Health Gorilla says it will use the new funding to go after new types of customers, such as insurers, and health care organization efforts to give patients access to their own medical records.

Erik Ross, the head of Nationwide’s venture capital team, said in the financing announcement that Health Gorilla’s API technology could help speed up the life insurance underwriting process.
