Are You Working with the Right Group Health Broker in Georgia?

If you're a Georgia employer asking, “Why are my health insurance rates so high?”—you’re not alone. Rising healthcare costs continue to challenge businesses across Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, and beyond. But one crucial factor often overlooked is the role of your group health broker or benefits agent.

At BIS Benefits, we often hear this question, and we’ve created a video series to help employers understand the underlying reasons behind escalating group health premiums. The reality? There are no magic fixes—but there are proven strategies, and it starts with having the right advisor on your side.

Not All Benefits Brokers Are Created Equal

A seasoned benefits broker in Georgia does more than quote a few rates. The top-tier brokers actively shop plans with every major carrier, analyze your workforce data, and hold consultative conversations to tailor solutions. If your current group health agent isn’t doing that, it might be time to reevaluate.

Learn what a benefits broker should be doing for your business in our deep dive blog post.

What Makes Healthcare So Expensive?

Costs can stem from multiple factors:

• Poor plan design
• Insufficient contribution strategies
• Lack of competitive shopping
• Inadequate risk analysis

But here's the truth few brokers will admit: most of us have access to the same tools and strategies. What separates a truly valuable group health broker from the rest is whether they’re sharing those tools with you—or keeping them behind closed doors.

The Georgia Advantage: Local Knowledge Matters

Healthcare plans vary dramatically across state lines. That’s why partnering with a Georgia-based broker like BIS Benefits matters. We understand state-specific compliance rules, market fluctuations, and regional carrier options better than a national broker might.

From fast-growing hubs like Johns Creek and Kennesaw to food industry hotspots like Savannah and Atlanta, we serve employers across the state with custom strategies that work for local businesses.
