Which statement best describes the link between a plan and payers?

In hospital billing systems, a plan is the set of benefits tied to a single payer’s policy. That one-to-one link ensures eligibility checks, coverage rules, reimbursement rates, and claim adjudication follow the exact contract terms of that payer. If a plan were linked to more than one payer, it would create conflicting benefit terms and payment rules, making it unclear which payer to bill and how the claim should be processed. Therefore, the plan is linked to exactly one payer, with the linkage defined by the payer-plan configuration rather than the provider.
