How It Works

The Bar Score provides a high-level summary of the competitive ranking of a benefit plan. Scores increase when competitive benefits are added to a plan. A higher score indicates a more competitive plan.

One Ranking

Your score is determined by how thorough, competitive, and complete your plan is. A comprehensive plan with competitive coverage will receive a high Bar Score.

Percentile Ranking

We compare every score across 15,000 employers and rank them on a national scale. All scores are recalculated and ranked daily, or when updates are made to any plan in our database.

How We Help

The Bar Score is an always-on monitoring system, calculated by comparing hundreds of plan variables in real time. Scores are recalculated and re-indexed daily for all 15,000 employers when new groups join the platform, or existing plans are updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your score is dynamic, and has no upward limit. Plans that have high levels of coverage, comprehensive offerings, and have been updated within the year will have a higher score. As benefits are updated or added, your score increases. 

All scores in the database are recalculated and re-ranked daily. You can compare your plan against your competitors in 4 ways:

  • Nationally
  • Province
  • Industry
  • Company Size
