Group Coverage, Inc. was founded in 1997 on the principles of teamwork, and that remains how the work gets done.
We are an independent brokerage. We partner with leaders across the insurance industry to deliver comprehensive coverage options tailored to each organization’s needs, rather than fitting every client to a single carrier’s shelf.
Our work begins with a comprehensive company profiling process. Before recommending a plan we build an understanding of the organization — its people, its exposures, its budget — and design a package that balances employee satisfaction against cost efficiency.
We serve organizations of every size, from solo practitioners to large enterprises, and we structure programs to match: self-funded, fully insured, and hybrid arrangements, along with cafeteria plans, FSAs, HSAs, HRAs, and Section 125 plans.
Our hires are made on the basis of demonstrated industry expertise, dedication, and ethical standards — the qualities that hold a client relationship together across renewals, claims, and regulatory change.
“One of the most progressive and innovative insurance agencies in New York.”
Group Coverage, Inc.
Everything an organization and its people need, placed and administered by one team.
Placing coverage is the beginning of the relationship, not the end of it. Our staff carries the administrative load that decides whether a program actually functions day to day.
The principle the firm was founded on in 1997, and the reason a client relationship belongs to the firm rather than to any one desk.
We look for professionals who know this business — its products, its carriers, and the regulation that governs them.
Coverage questions do not keep business hours. We hire people prepared to stay with a problem until it is resolved.
Reflected in how we advise, and in publishing openly how we are compensated for the brokerage services we provide.
Bill Schaake is President of Group Coverage, Inc. He holds the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC), Certified Risk Manager (CRM), and Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist (CLCS) designations, and is ACA certified.
He is the firm’s named point of contact for policyholders with questions about how Group Coverage, Inc. is compensated.
