Showing 2017, the latest year with a complete peer group. A 2025 filing is on file and appears in broker history; it is not benchmarked yet.
Why 2017?
The figures above use 2017, the latest year we can compare with similar employers. A filing for 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 is on file. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2018 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2021 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2022 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2023 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2024 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Only a smaller plan has filed for 2025 so far. The main plan's filing is not in yet, so that year cannot carry the comparison. Rows for 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 stay in the broker history and stay out of the headline and the peer 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: the tightest available peer cell for each line. Full table below. How the national rates are built.
Medical
4.8%
No peer cell
Vision
Not comparable
Premium under $10,000 is too small to compare
Life
Not comparable
Premium under $10,000 is too small to compare
Dental is not on this filing as its own contract, so there is no peer rate to show for it.

Disclosure opacity
What this filing doesn't show
This filing discloses no compensation on a health or stop-loss contract for 2025 — the plan's largest lines are absent from the public record. That is typical for self-funded plans, not reassuring: 53% of self-funded health plans with 100+ participants disclose the same — nothing (42K plans reviewed, 2024 filings). How we count this. The compensation still exists — under ERISA Section 408(b)(2), it must be disclosed in writing to the plan fiduciary on request.

Broker history
Benefit lines covered by year — broker identity limited on public pages
The 2025 filings on file so far are from smaller plans; the main plan has not filed 2025 yet. The analysis year is 2017, the latest year that is complete and benchmarked.
Broker identity on this page is limited for public viewers. Sign in with your work email or share your plan basics for the full breakdown on your company.
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.
Analysis year 2017 — the same year as the headline figure and per-participant rate above. The 2025 filings on file so far are from smaller plans; the main plan has not filed 2025 yet.
| Benefit line | Contract | Rate | vs. peers | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medicalfiled as “Health” | Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin | 4.8% | No peer cell | No peer cell |
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 | Hartford Life and AccidentPlan 502 | 15.0% | Bundled; no single-line peer |
2 contracts under $10,000 in premium — listed for completeness, not compared to peers. Show
- Vision — Superior Vision Insurance Plan of Wisconsin Inc. — Premium under $10,000 is too small to compare
- Life — Hartford Life and Accident — Premium under $10,000 is too small to compare
Everything in this table is from the 2017 filing. These 4 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. 2025 is not rated here. Its rows appear in Broker history above as filed — pick 2025 on the year chips there to see them.
No peer cell met the minimum sample size for these lines, so rates are shown without a market position. 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.
