Broker pay as a share of insured premium: 5.4% (peer median 6.6%, 32nd percentile).

Without the 62 low-disclosure peers, this plan is at the 51st percentile of 315 comparable plans (your plan plus 314 peers).

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

Showing 2021, the latest year with a complete peer group. A 2024 filing is on file and appears in broker history; it is not benchmarked yet.

Why 2021?

The figures above use 2021, the latest year we can compare with similar employers. A filing for 2022–2024 is on file. 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. 2022 broker pay on file so far totals $66,461 across all lines, about 56% less than the $149,434 for 2021. 2023 broker pay on file so far totals $10,508 across all lines, about 93% less than the $149,434 for 2021. 2024 broker pay on file so far totals $27,105 across all lines, about 82% less than the $149,434 for 2021. Rows for 2022–2024 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: same region, similar covered lives. Full table below. How the national rates are built.

Dental is filed only inside a bundled multi-line contract, so there is no single-line rate to compare. The bundle's effective rate is in the table below.

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 2021 — the same year as the headline figure and per-participant rate above. The 2024 filings on file so far are from smaller plans; the main plan has not filed 2024 yet.

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
Medical + Dental	Bluecross Blueshield of TexasPlan 501	5.1%	Bundled; no single-line peer
Medical + Dental	Bluecross Blueshield of TexasPlan 502	5.1%	Bundled; no single-line peer

How the peer group for each line was built

Life: n=1,021 contracts, Southwest, 101-500 covered lives
Vision: n=970 contracts, Southwest, 101-500 covered lives

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

Everything in this table is from the 2021 filing. These 6 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. 2024 is not rated here. Its rows appear in Broker history above as filed — pick 2024 on the year chips there to see them.

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.
