Axio Group pitches voluntary supplemental insurance to Quitman employees, offers to return with quotes
Summary
A representative from Axio Group told the Quitman Board of Aldermen the firm can solicit bids across about 98 carriers for voluntary supplemental employee coverage and typically finds 20–30% savings; staff agreed to let the broker obtain quotes for board consideration.
Erin Thomas of Axio Group visited the Quitman Board of Aldermen during public comments to describe the firm’s insurance‑broker services and to offer to solicit quotes for the city’s voluntary supplemental employee plans. "We carry, I think it's like 98 different companies…we'll pull prices over 98 different companies to get the best price," Thomas said, adding the firm commonly sees 20–30% savings on supplemental premiums.
Thomas said Axio Group can bid the city's policies using an AI‑powered system after the city provides payroll/census information and related SIC code details, and she emphasized the initial step is only to obtain quotes: "It's not a commitment. It's just allowing us to send that SIC code out to that bidding system so they can start bidding." City attorneys and board members confirmed no formal board action was required to allow the broker to gather quotes; Thomas agreed to return with hard numbers for the board to review before any decision to change plans.
The presentation focused on optional, employee‑paid supplemental products (life, disability, critical illness) rather than changes to the city's employer‑paid medical plans. Thomas said Axio Group also offers to price major medical next year when there is an opportunity to prepare a full census. The board requested the broker follow up with concrete quotations and a timeline for presenting results to the board.
