Carrier comparisons

Employers often come to us with two carrier names already in mind. These pages set the big group health insurers side by side on the things that differ for an employer: who owns them, how big they are, where they sell, how far their networks reach, and how members and rating agencies score them. We do not describe plan benefits or terms; a licensed broker can explain those.

Every figure comes from the carrier, its parent company's filings or an independent survey, with the date beside it. We do not rank carriers or say which is right for your business: plans and networks change by state, county and group size, so a licensed broker's side-by-side quote is the only way to see what is open to you.

Ask for a licensed broker

Three short steps: where the business is, what you have now, and who to speak to. It takes about two minutes and asks nothing about anyone's health.

Free for employers. The broker pays us a flat fee per introduction.
One broker, named to you first, with their state license number.
No advice from us. Plans, rates and tax questions go to the licensed broker.

We are a free matching service, not a broker or insurer, and we do not quote or recommend plans. We look for a licensed benefits broker who works with businesses like yours and tell you who it is; your enquiry goes to them only with your go-ahead.
