The Colorado Employer Benefit Trust (CEBT) is a multiple employer health benefit trust providing medical, dental, vision, and life benefits for public employers and their employees. The goal of the Trust is to spread the risk of adverse claims over a large base of members, minimize administrative costs, and provide exceptional service. The participating groups benefit from predictable overall claims experience and low administrative costs resulting in rates that consistently outperform the market. Since its founding in 1980, CEBT has grown to approximately 35,000 members from nearly 400 public entities. The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of representatives from the participating employer groups.

CEBT has developed substantial reserves to assure long term financial stability. The Trust has $240 million in annual premium deposits with approximately $78 million in total assets. This financial security is further enhanced by purchasing stop loss insurance to protect against unusually large claims.

The Trust Administrator, Willis Towers Watson (WTW), is the broker and consultant for CEBT. WTW handles the day-to-day operations, eligibility, proposals, claims and service requests for the participating groups and members.
