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 | 291 | Currently employed and enrolled or eligible. |
| Total participants (= "Plan participants" tile) | 291 | Active + retired/separated + beneficiaries. No dependents. |
| Coverage | Top carrier | Persons covered EOY | Premium |

| Health (medical)(2 contracts, 2 carriers) | PRIORITY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY | 378 | $1.8M |
| Dental(2 contracts, 2 carriers) | PRIORITY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY | 378 | $1.8M |
| Vision(2 contracts, 2 carriers) | PRIORITY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY | 378 | $1.8M |

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."
Total premium grew more than 20% over prior year. Renewal pain — prime candidate for re-shopping the carriers.
Broker comp is under 1% of premium on a >$1M plan. Plan may be flying solo or paying a flat fee — consultant sales target.
Filing reports zero broker compensation on a plan over 100 participants. Likely direct-write or unreported — worth a knock.
Multiple-employer welfare arrangement. Specific regulatory and compliance context; specific consultant niche.
