Frequently Asked Questions
Transparency and communication are essential to any successful relationship. Below are a few questions clients commonly ask. Have a question that’s not listed below? Reach out - we’re always here.
In recent years, there has been a growing pattern of larger benefits brokerage firms acquiring smaller firms. While this can create a broader service offering, bigger brokerage firms tend to have higher overhead, which often translates into more clients per broker (i.e. less time for you).
At Wits Financial, we’re efficient with our overhead, so our brokers have the time and energy to get to know each client and provide a white-glove level of service.
You’ll likely find the same rates across brokers. Carriers that provide health insurance to companies with fewer than 50 employees are legally required to file age-banded rates based on employer location. Similarly, carriers serving organizations with over 50 employees typically release the same proposals to all brokers. This means all brokers typically have access to the same rates.
Ideally, you want to find a broker with a background working with organizations like yours and the capacity to provide the level of service you need. It's also critical to understand which broker will be working with your team on a day-to-day basis. Individual brokers have varying experience and knowledge, so you need to ensure the person assigned to your business is a good fit. The right broker will become your benefits resource. They’ll bring relevant ideas to the table, help you avoid regulatory issues, and won’t be afraid to explain why something won’t work for your business.
Your current insurance premiums for health and other benefits almost always include a broker commission. If you hire Wits Financial, we will receive the commission you’re already paying.
Depending on the size of your organization and the services provided, commissions are typically 3-5% of the premium for medical, 10% for dental and vision, and 15% for life and disability. Commission rates are often set by the carrier but can be customized between individual brokers and clients under certain circumstances.
Our goal is to create long-term relationships by exceeding client expectations. We don't believe in locking clients into lengthy contracts. If you are ever not completely satisfied with our service, you are welcome to part ways with our team. Your satisfaction matters to us!
