Carriers allow you the ability to assign and track benefit plans within a package to their respective providers. You will often want to see all the benefit plans that each carrier has been assigned.
Within the system, plans are unable to be saved until carriers have been created and assigned appropriately. EDI files for enrollment are managed by carrier assignment within the benefits package for that plan year.
