NEWSROOM

You may not realize it, but the Word & Brown General Agency has its own Group Health Underwriters who can help you with some of your unusual or tougher-to-write cases and groups.

While some brokers may be challenged by where to place an owner-only group, one or two life group, a client with 1099 employees, or any of a variety of other Medical cases, Word & Brown is committed to working with you to match your group with the right underwriting carrier.

We can help you with all sorts of out-of-the-ordinary cases, including:

• Owner-only groups
• One and two life groups
• Carve-outs (management, location, etc.)
• 1099 employee groups
• Groups coming off a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)
• Start-up companies (groups with little or no payroll history)
• Husband and Wife groups
• Groups with very low participation
• Groups that want coverage in Mexico
• Groups that want composite rates
• Self-funded groups
