  • In Washington, insurers cannot vary premiums for your small employer group policy on the health status of your group. However, premiums can vary, within limits, based on age, family size and where your business is located. This is called adjusted community rating. In addition, your business may be eligible for a wellness activity discount of up to 20% off the cost of the entire premium.
