insurance carrier
Policy-issuing firm
An insurance carrier is a company that underwrites and issues insurance policies, assuming the financial risk in exchange for premiums.
The term distinguishes the actual insurer from brokers or agents who sell policies on the carrier's behalf: Blue Cross is one of the largest insurance carriers in the country.
Also called an insurance company or insurer.
