Mark Farrah Associates (MFA), www.markfarrah.com, presents an analysis of the top insurers and employers in the Miami, Florida area, gleaned from 5500 Employer Health ^Plus, a product designed to simplify the analysis of the 5500 series data Miami is home to several large employers, attracting both national and local insurers competing for a share of the expanding health insurance industry. Focusing attention on total health and health-related premiums earned through risk-based insurance (not self-funded) in Miami, it is apparent that all the leading national carriers are competing in the area, including UnitedHealth, CVS/Aetna, Anthem, Kaiser Foundation, and Humana.

• UnitedHealth maintained its position as the dominant insurer in Miami between 2016 to 2019.
  
  
• Overall, premiums for health-related business in the Miami market, reported through the Form 5500 data, indicated consistent growth across all years from $3.0 billion in 2016 to $3.9 billion in 2019.
  
  
• Examining the Miami market closer, it became obvious that one national employer is driving the performance of the top insurance carriers and influencing and masking the full industry picture locally.

Large private-sector employers providing health and welfare benefit plans subject to ERISA are required to file the annual Form 5500 with the Internal Revenue Service. Benefit information found within the 5500 Series filings includes employer-reported figures such as insured counts and premiums, as well as sponsor and broker information.
