for Small Employers and Their Employees: This guide from the Wisconsin
Office of the Commissioner of Insurance provides information on the Small
Employer Health Insurance Law and contains listings of insurers offering
coverage to small businesses with monthly premiums for three hypothetical
groups.
Working with an agent
If you are trying to decide whether to work with an insurance agent or
to contact the insurance companies directly, keep in mind that some
insurance companies only work through agents/brokers while some agents
only offer insurance for one or two insurance companies.
