AEP preparation takes a team, and here is ours.

We came. We listened. We asked questions. We caught up with agents and carriers. And yes, we took plenty of notes.

The TLC Insurance Group & Wealth Medicare AEP Kickoff gave us a lot to bring back to the agents we support. Now we prep for Medicare Answers Now Product Rollout on September 9th.

See you in a week for our own AEP kickoff!

ROCK & ENROLL: THE AEP WORLD TOUR IS COMING TO TWINSBURG!

Before AEP turns the volume all the way up, we’re getting the band together.

Join Medicare Answers Now on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at the Hilton Garden Inn Twinsburg for our Annual AEP Product Launch and everything you need to get ready for the 2027 selling season.

We’re bringing our carrier partners, team, and agents together for a full day of 2027 product rollouts, carrier updates, sales strategy, systems, compliance, and the information you actually need before October 15 hits.

Because nobody wants to discover the new product changes, network surprises, formulary issues, or system quirks while there’s a beneficiary sitting across the table.

And since this is Rock & Enroll: The AEP World Tour, we’re having some fun with it. Expect the headliners, the greatest hits, a few surprises, and plenty of time with the people you’re going to be working alongside all season.

Wednesday, September 9, 2026
Hilton Garden Inn Twinsburg | Twinsburg, Ohio

This is for Medicare Answers Now partners, and we want you there.
RSVP to Megan at 216-499-1600 to reserve your spot.

Get ready. Get your questions together. And come ready to ROCK & ENROLL.

Enrollment season will test every weak spot in your process.

The follow-ups. The SOAs. The recorded calls. The verification requests. The duplicate data entry. The “I swear I already did this” moments that somehow show up again when everyone is already running at full speed.

For those of you using AgencyBloc, this is a webinar I’d make time for.

AgencyBloc is hosting Enrollment Season Best Practices: Automation, Integrations, & Compliance on Wednesday, August 19th at 3:00 PM ET, and it’s a practical session on how to tighten up workflows before the rush really hits.

Enrollment season is not the time to wing it and hope your systems hold. Take the hour. Look at what can be cleaned up now. Your future self, your staff, and your clients will thank you.

Reserve your spot here:

Join our webinar to discover best practices for automating workflows, maintaining compliance, and streamlining operations during the busy enrollment season.

California, here we come!

Medicare Answers Now will be attending the Senior Summit September 1–3, and we’re excited to share that Amanda Brewton will be speaking at this year’s event.

Senior Summit has a real history in the Medicare community. What started with around 200 attendees in 2010 has grown into one of California’s longest-running and largest gatherings of Medicare professionals, bringing agents, carriers, physician groups, exhibitors, and industry leaders together ahead of AEP.

This year also marks a new chapter as the Senior Summit heads to the Riverside Convention Center. The location may be changing, but the purpose remains the same: helping Medicare professionals prepare, connect, and stay sharp in an industry that keeps moving.

The work we do goes far beyond products and plans. It’s about education, relationships, compliance, trust, and showing up with the right resources at the right time.

Online registration ends August 17th: https://theseniorsummit.net/?page_id=918

See you at the Senior Summit!

You want to be in the rooms where the future of Medicare is being discussed.

Amanda Brewton will be speaking at the 2026 CAHIP LA Medicare Summit on August 27, 2026, at The Castaway in Burbank, California.

This year’s theme is Back to the Future, and honestly, it fits. The Medicare industry is changing fast, and the role of the agent is changing with it.

CMS updates, broker strategy, innovation, retention, process improvement, and the future of the agent are not side conversations anymore. They are the conversations agents need to understand if they want to stay relevant and prepared.

Amanda will continue to push the conversations agents need, seniors deserve, and this industry cannot afford to ignore.

Get in the room. Pay attention. Be part of what comes next.

Agents, this is your friendly but serious reminder: get your carrier certifications done by early to mid-August.

Please do not wait until the end of the month and then act shocked when the carriers are backed up, systems are slow, certificates aren’t showing correctly, and everyone is trying to get added to the RTS list at the same time. Every year, carriers get bogged down toward the end of August. And every year, agents who waited too long end up frustrated and unable to sell right away.

Your goal should be simple: have your carrier certifications completed no later than August 15th. That gives us time to review what is missing, make sure your certificates are on file, confirm things are moving properly, and help avoid delays getting you ready to sell. Give yourself enough breathing room so October does not start with unnecessary chaos.

As always we are here to help, just reach out. You can find links for all of your carrier certifications here: https://www.medicareanswersnow.com/certifications/

Time to get your head in the game before AEP starts breathing down your neck.

Carrier First Looks are here: Sign up now. Ask questions now. Start making notes now. The agents who take the time to understand what is changing are the ones who walk into AEP with more confidence and fewer surprises.

We’re adding First Look opportunities to the Medicare Answers Now event calendar as they become available, so check it regularly and make plans to attend the sessions for the carriers and markets you serve.

Do us a favor and do not wait until October to figure this out. Preparation is not glamorous, but it works. And AEP has a way of exposing who did the work early and who waited too long.
