IDOI-Licensed Indiana Carrier - Indiana Department of Insurance RegulatedAllied National Indiana Group Health Insurance 2026

Indiana Intel Most Brokers Don't Share
1. Reaches the smallest Indiana groups
Allied writes level-funded plans for groups as small as roughly 2 to 10 - below the minimum most carriers will touch, which makes it a real option for Indiana micro-employers.
2. Stop-loss caps the risk
Specific and aggregate stop-loss limit what a small Indiana employer can owe in a bad claims month.
3. Underwriting-based pricing cuts both ways
A health questionnaire underwrites the group, so a healthy Indiana small group can beat community-rated fully insured - while an unhealthy one may pay more.
4. Rented network, so verify the match
Allied rents PHCS or Aetna networks. Confirm your employees Indiana providers are in the chosen network before binding.
5. ERISA governs the plan
Self-funded Allied plans run under the plan document; state mandates like the IC 27-8-5.7 clean-claim rule apply to fully insured plans, not ERISA self-funded ones.
6. Fills a real gap for micro-employers
For a 4-person Indiana shop that cannot get level funding elsewhere, Allied is often the only claims-based option on the table.

“We have partners who wanted a richer plan and junior staff who wanted the lowest possible premium. Allied National let us offer both without running two separate groups.”
Why it worked: Allied National's flexible level-funded and self-funded plan designs let small Indiana employers offer multiple tiers instead of a single one-size-fits-all plan.
