Level-Funded Plans
A strong starting point for many mid-market groups. Predictable monthly costs with the ability to benefit from favorable claims performance, giving your clients more control without full exposure.
Strategic Benefits Solutions You Can Bring to Your Mid-Market Clients
If you’re a health benefits broker serving mid-market companies, you know the pressure that comes with renewal conversations.
Premium increases have become expected. Year after year, employers are asked to absorb higher costs with limited options to control them.
With Evolved Benefits, that conversation changes.
We design custom cost-containment strategies built specifically for mid-market employer groups. Plans are structured to align with how these businesses actually operate, with thoughtful benefit tiers that support every segment of the workforce, from seasonal and variable-hour employees to senior leadership.
The result is a more efficient benefits structure that reduces unnecessary spend while expanding access to meaningful coverage.
Brokers working with Evolved Benefits are consistently delivering 10–15% in year-over-year savings at renewal.

Cost Control Strategies You Can Bring to Your Clients
Mid-market groups have more flexibility than they often realize. With the right structure, you can guide clients toward stable, predictable costs while maintaining strong coverage options.
Where Brokers Create Immediate Mid-Market Impact
Mid-market employers are balancing growth with cost discipline. Benefits sit right in the middle of that equation. Renewal increases continue to put pressure on budgets. At the same time, employers need to offer competitive coverage to attract and retain employees. Administrative complexity often increases as these companies scale.
With the right structure in place, brokers can bring forward a strategy that supports growth, improves cost predictability, and simplifies how benefits are delivered and managed.
