HR and Health Plans
Q: Should I be mad about rising premiums, and how should we evaluate brokers?
Seth explains that premia increases are often driven by factors like specialty drugs and carrier dynamics, but a good broker should provide proactive guidance, transparent data, and options six months before renewal to explore alternatives such as self-insurance, level funding, or captive arrangements depending on headcount and risk tolerance.
