CHARLESTON, S.C., Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading technology platform provider enabling rapid innovation for employers, health plans and consumers, today announces it is supporting the State of Nevada's efforts to modernize its eligibility and enrollment benefits management system. The state's Public Employees' Benefits Program (PEBP) selected a partnership including Benefitfocus and led by LSI, a Massachusetts-based full-service SAP Technology Solution.
