Background

Known as a benefits consortium, WiseChoice was enabled by state legislation signed into law by Governor Glenn Youngkin in June of 2022. Through a benefits consortium, small businesses form one large, self-funded group to spread claims risk and lower administrative costs.

Small businesses account for more than 90% of Virginia’s employers.
