Vertiv Holdings Employees: How Your Credit Score Influences Your Insurance Premiums

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Vertiv Holdings: Vertiv Holdings typically partners with prominent healthcare providers such as Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to offer health benefits to its employees. The specific provider may vary based on location and the chosen healthcare plans available to employees each year. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: In 2026, Vertiv Holdings employees may face significant healthcare cost increases due to a convergence of factors affecting the marketplace. Increases in medical costs are projected to range from 7% to 10%, significantly impacting out-of-pocket expenses. Simultaneously, the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies could leave employees exposed to steep premium hikes exceeding 60% in some states, with many companies likely to pass along these costs through higher deductibles and copays. As employers seek to manage their healthcare expenditures, employees must be prepared for a greater financial burden in securing their health coverage. Click here to learn more

As an employee of Vertiv Holdings 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 Vertiv Holdings 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 Vertiv Holdings 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.
