It was initially founded in 1991 as National Planning Consultants, a specialty provider of supplemental disability insurance plans for large employers. Today, the company works jointly with group benefits consultants and other insurance professionals to provide supplemental income protection products and concepts to large employers and associations, using proprietary enrollment communications and technology.

“Having adequate income protection insurance is one of the most important aspects of financial planning, as it protects the one asset that provides for everything else,” said Ken Yarbrough, president of NPC Benefits. “NPC is committed to enhancing the availability, convenience and communication of personal income protection plans to employees, associations, individuals and families.
