Benefits declared on the Form 5500 main form (✓ = also has a Schedule A insurance contract; otherwise the benefit is funded out of plan assets or via a Schedule C TPA).
The plan reports several different headcounts depending on which form you read. Each one measures a different slice of the population.
| Active participants | 14,822 | Currently employed and enrolled or eligible. |
| Total participants (= "Plan participants" tile) | 14,822 | Active + retired/separated + beneficiaries. No dependents. |
| Coverage | Top carrier | Persons covered EOY | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health (medical) | PREMERA BLUE CROSS | 14,849 | $75.3M |
| Dental | DELTA DENTAL OF WASHINGTON | 14,267 | $6.3M |
| Vision | VISION SERVICE PLAN | 7,966 | $611K |
| Life insurance | LIFEMAP ASSURANCE COMPANY | 11,108 | $390K |
| Long-term disability | LIFEMAP ASSURANCE COMPANY | 11,108 | $390K |
| Prescription drug | PREMERA BLUE CROSS | 14,849 | $75.3M |
| Other(2 contracts, 2 carriers) | LIFEMAP ASSURANCE COMPANY | 11,108 | $393K |
| Persons covered (= "Persons covered" tile) | Max across the rows above | 14,849 | — |
Why the numbers differ. Form 5500 line 6 counts employees + retirees + beneficiaries; no dependents. Schedule A persons-covered counts everyone enrolled, including spouses and children, so it usually exceeds line 6 by 30-60% on a working-age workforce. The medical row is normally the broadest single line because it has the highest take-up; dental/vision/life often dip below it. Stop-loss / reinsurance contracts sometimes report the carrier's full underwriting pool rather than this filer's headcount; the row is shown for transparency but shouldn't be read as "people in this plan."
Broker comp is under 1% of premium on a >$1M plan. Plan may be flying solo or paying a flat fee — consultant sales target.
Top carrier holds >85% of premium. If that carrier hits a rate increase, the entire plan moves.
Premium per covered life exceeds 2× the peer median for this NAICS + size cohort. Either richly-funded plan or struggling with a bad rate.
