# My Carriers: How to Filter Insurance Quoters to Only Carriers You're Actually Appointed With

## TL;DR

My Carriers filters every unLocked quoter (Medicare, ACA, Life, Annuity) to only the carriers you're appointed with. NIPR appointments are auto-pulled and locked; you add manual overrides for anything NIPR misses. Empty list = all carriers shown (opt-in rule). Fuzzy name matching handles carrier-entity variations automatically.

<p>Independent agents lose hours every week running quotes only to realize at bind time they aren't appointed with the winning carrier. <strong>My Carriers</strong> in unLocked CRM fixes that at the source — it filters every quoter (Medicare Advantage, Medigap, ACA, Life, Annuity) down to the carriers you can actually sell.</p>

<h2>The Two Sources That Build Your List</h2>
<h3>1. NIPR-Detected Appointments (Automatic)</h3>
<p>When you sync your NPN under <strong>Licensing</strong>, unLocked pulls every carrier currently reporting you as an appointed agent through NIPR. These rows are auto-checked, locked, and tagged <code>NIPR</code>. You can't uncheck them in My Carriers — that's intentional. Your NIPR record is the source of truth, and any contradiction belongs in Licensing, not in a UI toggle.</p>

<h3>2. Manual Carrier Additions (You Control)</h3>
<p>NIPR doesn't capture everything. Newly-issued appointments lag, some carriers don't report, and IMOs occasionally route appointments through subsidiary entities. The Manual side gives you a searchable checklist of every carrier in our 190+ database, plus a "Custom Carrier" entry for anything we haven't onboarded.</p>

<h2>Your Effective List Is the Union</h2>
<p>The card at the bottom of My Carriers shows the merged set — NIPR + Manual — and that's what your quoters filter against. Each row is tagged with its origin so you always know which appointments are verified by the regulator and which are self-attested.</p>

<h2>What This Looks Like in the Quoters</h2>
<p>Open any quoter — Medicare MA, Medigap, ACA, Life, or Annuity — and you'll see a banner at the top of results:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Filtered:</strong> "Showing 14 of 47 plans matching your appointed carriers"</li>
<li><strong>Unfiltered:</strong> "Showing all 47 plans. Narrow results to your appointed carriers in settings."</li>
</ul>
<p>Both banners include a <strong>Carrier Filters</strong> button that jumps you back to My Carriers in one click.</p>

<h2>The Opt-In Rule (Why New Users Don't Get Locked Out)</h2>
<p>If your list is completely empty, quoters show <strong>all</strong> carriers. The filter only activates once you've added at least one carrier (NIPR or manual). This prevents the classic onboarding mistake of seeing zero quotes on day one because nothing has been configured yet.</p>

<h2>Fuzzy Name Matching</h2>
<p>Carrier names in raw quote feeds rarely match the marketing brand exactly. "Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company" in a Medicare quote correctly matches "Mutual of Omaha" on your list. "United of Omaha Life Insurance Company" — same family, different entity — matches too when configured. No exact-string headaches.</p>

<h2>Who Should Set This Up Today</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multi-line agents</strong> running Medicare + ACA + Life — stop the cross-line clutter</li>
<li><strong>Agencies onboarding new producers</strong> — sync their NPN and the quoters self-configure</li>
<li><strong>FMOs and IMOs</strong> who want producer-by-producer carrier visibility without manual data entry</li>
</ul>

<p>Set it once, sync your NPN quarterly, and every quote you run is pre-filtered to your real product shelf.</p>
