National Market Presence
National Market Footprint
| State | Market Share | Premium Written | Estimated Members |
|---|---|---|---|
| GA | 0.12% | $53.6M | 8.91K |
| NC | 0.01% | $6.43M | 968 |
| SC | 0.06% | $14.6M | 2.32K |
| National Total | — | $74.6M | 12.2K |
UNICO PREMIER GRP's premium and membership are concentrated in the Southeast. The largest premium pool is in GA at $53.6M, followed by SC at $14.6M and NC at $6.43M. With 12.2K total members concentrated in three neighboring states, the payer's negotiating leverage with regional hospital systems and provider groups is strongest within Georgia and meaningful but smaller in South Carolina and North Carolina.
For national provider groups evaluating this payer, the concentration suggests focused contract efforts in the Southeast will capture the majority of the payer's membership and spend. The limited geographic spread reduces complexity in credentialing and network management but also limits opportunities for broad national rate arrangements.
State-by-State Market Position
UNICO PREMIER GRP shows its strongest presence in the Southeast region. Georgia is the clear center of gravity, representing the largest premium and membership base, while South Carolina and North Carolina provide contiguous regional extensions of that footprint. There is no meaningful presence in the Northeast, Midwest, West, or Southwest regions based on the reported state data.
The regional clustering benefits multi-state provider groups that operate in the Southeast because they can negotiate regionally scoped agreements that cover the majority of the payer's exposure. Conversely, provider groups with footprints outside Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina will find limited leverage with this payer given its concentrated scope and relatively small national premium.

Nationally, the largest age bands for UNICO PREMIER GRP are 6–18 (1,876 members), 45–54 (1,822 members), and 35–44 (1,778 members). The senior population (65+) is moderate, with 944 in 65–74 and 633 in 75+.
Georgia has the largest member counts across all age bands, reflecting its dominant share of the payer's footprint. South Carolina and North Carolina have smaller but similar distributions, with no state showing a strong skew toward either younger or older populations. The overall profile is balanced, with a slight emphasis on working-age adults and children.
Estimated Members by State
UNICO PREMIER GRP's estimated member distribution is heavily concentrated in Georgia, with 8,913 members. South Carolina follows with 2,322 members, and North Carolina has 968 members. This geographic concentration aligns closely with the premium volume and market share data, as Georgia is the payer's strongest market by both premium and share.
The alignment between member counts and market share rank is clear: Georgia leads in both, while South Carolina and North Carolina trail. For providers, this means that contracting strategies and care delivery models should be tailored primarily to the needs and regulatory environment of Georgia, with secondary focus on South Carolina and North Carolina. The limited geographic spread simplifies network management but may limit opportunities for multi-state provider groups seeking broad reach.
