ManpowerGroup Employees: How Your Credit Score Influences Your Insurance Premiums

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for ManpowerGroup ManpowerGroup typically offers employer-sponsored health insurance plans to its employees. The specific healthcare providers can vary depending on the region and the plans chosen by the company, but large insurers like UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Cigna are common choices. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we look towards 2026, ManpowerGroup employees may encounter significant healthcare cost increases. Premiums for marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act are projected to rise sharply, with some states seeing hikes over 60%. This surge can be attributed to escalating medical costs, the potential expiration of enhanced federal subsidies, and aggressive rate requests from insurers. As a result, many employees could face out-of-pocket premium increases of over 75%, necessitating careful planning and consideration of benefit options to mitigate future expenses. Adjustments in employer-sponsored plans are likely to shift more healthcare costs onto employees, further compounding these financial pressures. Click here to learn more

As an employee of ManpowerGroup you may find it interesting to know, one landmark study found that credit-based insurance scores are used by about 95 percent of all auto and home insurers in calculating the cost of insurance to individuals.

While the vast majority of insurance companies use credit-based insurance scores to help determine the price of insurance, it is banned in the states of Massachusetts, Hawaii, and California. Some states only allow it as a factor for property insurance like auto and homeowners insurance. Other states allow it to be used with any type of insurance.

Several Factors

Generally, an insurance company will use a credit-based insurance score as just one factor in its underwriting process. We'd also like to remind our ManpowerGroup clients that other factors may be considered, depending on the type of insurance. For example, with auto insurance, other factors could include your zip code, the age of the drivers, the make, model and age of the car, and the number of miles you drive annually.

The use of credit scores to determine insurance rates is rooted in research that has shown individuals with lower credit scores had higher car insurance losses and higher claims payouts.

You can ask your insurance company if a credit-based insurance score was used to underwrite and rate your policy, and in which risk category you were placed.

For ManpowerGroup employees who want to improve their credit-based insurance score, you should consider taking the same steps you would to improve your credit rating: make timely debt payments, clear up past disputes and keep credit card balances low.
