Shared Responsibility is unique to WPA. It allows your company to save money on premiums and still provide valuable healthcare to your employees. By adopting a Shared Responsibility approach to PMI, premiums can be reduced by up to 50%.

How Shared Responsibility works:

1. The company chooses the personal annual limit for each employee.
2. The company receives an annual discount of between 10% and 50% on premiums.
3. WPA will pay 75% of all eligible claims up to the personal annual limit.
4. The employee pays the remaining 25%.
5. Once your employee has reached their personal annual limit, WPA will pay 100% of all eligible claims up until the next renewal date.
