Why do insurance agents work with PEOs?

Insurance agents and benefits brokers often partner with Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) to offer more comprehensive solutions to their clients, expand their service offerings, and increase revenue streams.
A MOD (experience modification) rate reflects your claims history and affects your premium. PEOs often extend their lower, competitive MOD rates to clients, which can significantly reduce your costs—especially if your current MOD is high.
Yes. PEOs often audit your claims to correct any discrepancies that could unfairly raise your rates.
Absolutely. PEOs work with national carriers and negotiate rates up to 40% lower than what most small or mid-sized businesses can access. Many also offer monthly, pay-as-you-go plans to avoid large year-end audits.
PEOs pool your employees with thousands of others, creating a large group that allows them to negotiate lower premiums and better plans—just like big corporations.
Yes. PEOs have strong relationships with top national carriers and can secure more comprehensive plans at reduced rates, often unavailable to small or mid-sized businesses.
  • Larger risk pool = lower rates
  • Stronger carrier negotiations
  • Fewer rate spikes due to shared risk
  • Administrative efficiency saves time and money

No, a client’s individual XMOD (Experience Modification Rate) doesn’t reset or disappear when joining a PEO—but here’s the key benefit:
Most PEOs apply their own, lower XMOD to your workers’ comp premium instead of yours, which can significantly reduce your costs—especially if your current XMOD is high.

PEOs make money primarily through two methods:
1. Administrative Fees:
They charge a flat fee per employee or a percentage of your total payroll. This covers services like payroll processing, HR support, compliance, and benefits administration.
2. Margin on Benefits or Insurance:
PEOs often negotiate discounted rates on health insurance, workers’ comp, and other benefits—then include a small markup when offering those plans to clients.

In states that require the client to utilize the PEOs suta rate, many times yes. PEOs often have a lower SUTA rate than many small businesses because they manage a large, diversified employee base and maintain strong compliance practices. Here’s how they may profit:

1. Rate Arbitrage:
If your business has a high SUTA rate and the PEO has a lower one, the PEO may charge you a slightly higher rate than their own, keeping the difference as margin.
2. Risk Pooling:
By spreading risk across many clients, PEOs keep their rate low—then build in a buffer when charging clients, creating a consistent revenue stream.

Some of the commonly used workers’ carriers by PEOs include:
AIG
Chubb
SUNZ
Accident Fund
Zurich
Service America Indemnity Company

An ESAC PEO refers to a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) that has been accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC). ESAC accreditation signifies that the PEO has met rigorous standards for financial stability, ethical business practices, and regulatory compliance, providing assurance to clients and stakeholders.
