To ensure compliance with CMS enrollment time-frames, you should always
submit your enrollments the day they are received. This is especially
important now because CMS requirements do not allow additional days for
weekends and holidays.

The Enrollment Department will continue to monitor & process all incoming
enrollments, to ensure they are submitted to the carriers within their allotted
time-frames.

For enrollments that are NOT time-sensitive, our Agent Dashboard and Enrollment Fax lines are open 24 hours to accept your enrollments. We will resume processing again on Tuesday, September 2nd.
