What's the deal? BROCKDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a national insurance distribution and technology company, has acquired the health insurance division of DigitalBGADealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, the two announced on September 10, 2026. Terms were not disclosed. The deal moves DigitalBGA's health business onto BROCK's platform, giving its agents access to BROCK's carrier relationships, technology, training, and operational support.
Why now? Both companies framed the transaction as a decision to specialise. DigitalBGA will focus on life insurance, including its technology-enabled term life products, while BROCK builds out health insurance distribution.
What's the endgame? BROCK wants to be more than a recruiter of agents. Founder and chief executive officer Justin Brock said the goal is to "build an organization that makes insurance agencies better operators," extending capabilities it developed in health insurance to more agencies.
Alongside the acquisition, BROCK and DigitalBGA agreed to work together on distributing DigitalBGA's next-generation term life products and technology, tying the two firms beyond the initial deal.
For DigitalBGA, the sale sharpens its bet on modernising life insurance. "Our biggest opportunity was to focus even more aggressively on life insurance," said founder Jeff Root, adding that BROCK had the scale to run the health business "at a level that would require us to continue investing outside of our primary focus."
