Which statement best describes the relationship between a Payer (EPM) record and a Plan (EPP)?

A payer-to-plan linkage is required because plan-level rules define the specific benefits, eligibility, and claim routing that apply when a patient is registered. The Payer record identifies the insurance company, while the Plan under that payer specifies the exact benefit set for that payer. For a payer to be selectable during Registration, it must have an attached plan so the system can apply the correct plan rules to the patient’s coverage. Without this linkage, there would be no plan-specific eligibility or benefits to reference, making registration and subsequent claim processing unreliable. The other statements conflict with how payer and plan data are structured and used in the registration workflow.
