Bath at a Glance

A Growing Township Next to East Lansing
Bath Township was organized in 1839 and renamed in 1843. The unincorporated community of Bath sits in the western part of the township. Population growth means more employees and more employers to serve.
Park Lake and Local Recreation
Park Lake at the township’s southern edge was a regional recreation site in the early twentieth century. The lake is still a local landmark, and the township sits close to the East Lansing job market.
Competing With East Lansing Employers
Michigan State University employed 10,253 people in 2018, according to the Lansing Economic Area Partnership. Bath employers compare their offers with what the university and other nearby institutions provide.
Figures are from the 2020 U.S. Census unless noted.

Bath Township, Michigan: Local Background for Employers
Bath Charter Township covers about 35 square miles of Clinton County directly north of East Lansing. It is a much larger geographic area than its small-town name suggests.
A Township That Has Grown Since 2010
The 2020 census counted 13,292 residents, up from 11,598 in 2010, an increase of 14.6%. The township was organized in 1839 as Ossowa Township, split from DeWitt Township, and was renamed Bath Township in 1843.
A Township With Several Mailing Addresses
Bath, East Lansing, Haslett and Laingsburg all have ZIP codes that touch the township: 48808, 48823, 48840 and 48848. For an employer, that matters because the mailing address on a census does not always match the county or rating area a carrier uses.
Land And Water
Water makes up roughly 9% of the township area, and Park Lake lies along its southern edge. With about 32 square miles of land, the township is large, so employee addresses on a census can be spread widely.
What Bath Township Employers Ask Us First
Employers here are close to East Lansing but outside the city limits, which creates a few recurring questions.
Does Our Address Change Our Rates
It can. Carriers price by rating area and service area, so we check how each carrier treats a Clinton County address before we compare quotes.
Which Carrier Networks Cover Our Staff
Employees may live in East Lansing, DeWitt, Laingsburg or elsewhere. We check hospital and physician access across that spread rather than assuming everyone lives next door to the office.
We Are Growing And Need Benefits To Keep Up
As headcount grows, eligibility, waiting periods and plan design need to change with it. We review the plan at each renewal so it does not stay frozen at the size you were years ago.
What Bath Employers Ask
Our Bath employees live on both sides of the Ingham and Clinton county line. Does that matter?
Plan networks follow where employees live, so we check provider access for the whole group before recommending a plan.
We already have a broker. Can you still look at our renewal?
Yes. Send the renewal letter, plan summary, contribution split and enrolled counts. The review is free and carries no obligation. See how a renewal second opinion works.
Do you have an office in Bath?
No. Our Michigan office is in Bloomfield Hills, and we serve Bath employers by phone, video and on site when needed.
