Blue Shield has released its Q1 2027 Small Business rates, now available through preferred quoting engines, with a statewide average increase of 3.4%. January renewal information will be available through Shield Renewals beginning October 20, followed by February and March renewals on November 4. Brokers should review upcoming renewals early to evaluate plan options, prepare client recommendations, and develop a competitive Q1 strategy.

Early preparation also provides more time to assess rate impacts and identify the right solutions for each group. Use these upcoming renewal releases to begin meaningful client conversations and address potential plan changes before key deadlines. Dickerson can help you navigate available options and position your clients for a successful Q1 renewal.
