Denver and Colorado Front Range Group Health Brokers: Level-Funded and ICHRA Options in 2026

Colorado’s Front Range, from Denver and Castle Rock to Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, is home to many small and mid-sized employers weighing alternatives to a traditional renewal.

Three options worth asking about

  • Fully insured group plans: predictable and simple, with the carrier carrying the risk.
  • Level-funded plans: a fixed monthly payment with the potential for a refund if claims run low. Read our level-funded explainer.
  • ICHRA: the employer gives a tax-advantaged allowance and employees choose individual plans. See ICHRA vs. group coverage.

None is best for everyone. Workforce age, claims history and growth plans all change the answer.

Choosing a Colorado broker

  1. Ask for options, not one recommendation. A good broker will show you at least two structures with trade-offs.
  2. Check their specialties. Some focus on small business, others on larger groups or specific industries.
  3. Confirm licensing. Use the NPN on each profile to verify with the Colorado Division of Insurance.
  4. Ask who supports your employees after enrollment.

Spread-out workforces

Remote and multi-location teams are common here. Ask any broker how network access and plan design will work for employees in mountain towns or outside the metro area.
