Compensation disclosed1 broker of record on fileAs reported on Form 5500 (Schedules A and C), U.S. Department of Labor.

This filing doesn't itemize broker compensation the way most peer employers do. That can be a clean fee arrangement — or pay baked into premium. Peer market rates for similar plans are below.

Benchmarked against: Transportation & Logistics · 1–100 employees · same industry, regional · n=14 employers

Peer disclosed broker cost: median $40.53 per participant per month · typical range $21.76–$62.55. This company's filings did not itemize an amount to place on that scale.

Your exact in-state peer group was below the 10-plan minimum, so the comparison broadens to same industry, regional within Transportation & Logistics.

Why excluded?

1 broker compensation line totaling $215,490 on the Form 5500 appears to be filing errors (a commission above 100% of the premium reported on that contract, or pay above $200 per participant per month or $50,000,000 on one line). We verified these amounts against the DOL EFAST publication — they are as filed by the plan sponsor, not an Unbrokered ingest error. Those lines are shown as filed and excluded from peer benchmarks and headline PEPM.

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

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 + Vision	Blue Cross and Blue Shield of LouisianaPlan 501	—	Bundled; no single-line peer

Everything in this table is from the 2024 filing. This contract is 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.

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.
