Although this data is not 100% accurate, it is probably the most accurate information available. Group employee benefits brokers need to know where to find the plans that suit their clients’ needs. It is a well-established fact that employers cannot handle the entire burden of providing a list of benefits that their workers would like to have. As a result, brokers are working with both the employee and their workforce. The worker is being given options to have additional coverage available with the convenience of premiums discounted directly from their paycheck. This is a win-win situation for the employer, worker, and agent.
Here you will find the top national insurance companies in this market, along with others that do business in most states. For brokers who sell products with a single insurance company, it seems impractical and practically impossible. I carry a Swiss Army knife with me which, while useful, is often unable to get the job done properly. Therefore, in my experience, I have found that most agents who sell plans more than occasionally represent more than one insurance company. Like the Swiss Army Knife, no insurance company can handle all situations. According to my records, the average broker involved in frequent sales represents 3 national insurance companies for this employee market.
For your convenience, there are two lists prepared alphabetically. The first are the carriers licensed to sell their employee benefit plans in all 50 states. The second list is from states that sell in a minimum of at least 40 states. Everyone should have websites to receive additional information quickly.
