Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, has completed the acquisition of Security Life Insurance Company of America and Security Health Insurance Company of America, New York, Inc.

The company said in a statement that, throughout 2016, the group division of Ameritas Life will transition existing Security Life business, working through Security Life's general agent distribution network. This includes individual and group dental and vision plans.

“We're excited to serve our growing customer base,” said Karen Gustin, Ameritas group division executive vice president. “It is our intention to maintain the Security Life small group focus while introducing Ameritas' vast dental, vision, hearing care, and LASIK products to this distribution. Security Life's individual dental and vision products will mean even more plan choices in the Ameritas growing individual product portfolio, expanding our ability to offer our members a plan that is the right fit for their needs.”
