Broker pay as a share of insured premium: 2.8% (peer median 5.7%, 23rd percentile).

Per-participant and share-of-premium comparisons differ because your plan insures a different mix of lines than most peers. The line-by-line rates below are the most direct comparison.

Broker commission rate by benefit line

What the broker earns on each insured line, as a share of that line's own premium — not a share of total broker pay, and not what the coverage cost. Peers for these tiles: same region, similar covered lives. Full table below. How the national rates are built.

Voluntary / worksite

17.2%

Peer median 16.6%

Within peer range

Voluntary / worksite premium is typically paid by employees through payroll deduction, so commission on those lines comes out of employee money rather than company money.

Dental is not on this filing as its own contract, so there is no peer rate to show for it.

Commission rates by benefit line

Each insured contract on the filing, with the broker's commission as a share of that contract's own premium. Premium is what was paid to the carrier for the coverage; only the commission column is broker pay.

Benefit line	Contract	Rate	vs. peers	Position
Medical (Prescription drug)	Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Inc.	2.6%	med 2.8%	Within peer range

Bundled and other contracts — no single-line peer comparison

A bundled contract covers two or more lines on one premium (for example Health + Dental). Its effective rate is the commission on the whole premium; it is shown for completeness and never compared with single-line peers, because the mix of lines inside the bundle sets the rate as much as the broker does.

Covers	Contract	Effective rate	vs. peers
Life + Long-term disability	Sun Life Assurance Company of CanadaPlan 501	3.8%	Bundled; no single-line peer

How the peer group for each line was built

Medical: n=517 contracts, Northeast, 501-2500 covered lives
Medical: n=1,768 contracts, Northeast, 1-100 covered lives
Vision: n=2,338 contracts, Northeast, 101-500 covered lives
Life: n=553 contracts, Northeast, 1-100 covered lives
Voluntary / worksite: n=1,587 contracts, Northeast, 1-100 covered lives
Life: n=1,163 contracts, Northeast, 501-2500 covered lives
Medical: n=30,092 contracts, national
Life: n=21,607 contracts, national

n = the number of peer contracts in that comparison group.

Everything in this table is from the 2024 filing. These 10 contracts are a subset of the broker compensation disclosed for that year. The remainder sits on contracts with no premium reported or on Schedule C service-provider fees, which carry no contract rate.

Who funds this. Voluntary / worksite premium is typically paid by employees through payroll deduction, so commission on those lines comes out of employee money rather than company money.

Peer comparison here is contract-level: each line is matched to single-line contracts covering a similar number of lives. The geography and size band come from that cell's generated scope label. That is a different group from the plan-level peer set, which compares employers on total broker cost per employee, so the two sample sizes are not expected to agree. The national table on the research page includes every single-line contract on that benefit line. Company pages use the tightest cell with at least 10 contracts — region and size when those exist, otherwise national. The two medians answer different questions, so they are not expected to match. Contracts under $10,000 in premium are listed for completeness, with no rate or peer position.
