Enrollment Platform Access

Submit Your Requests Now!

In preparation for AEP, we recommend that contracted agencies requiring access to Sunfire & Connecture submit requests as quickly as possible to ensure access is granted prior to AEP. 

If your agency should have access but does not, please reach out to us at agent-support@devoted.com so further assistance can be provided!

For agencies who already have access to their Third Party Enrollment platform, please make sure you are utilizing Devoted’s RTS Reports to ensure agents have the proper Ready to Sell and In Good Standing status before provisioning them access to their enrollment tool.

 

Hierarchy Changes and Agent Transfers

Agency requests for Hierarchy Changes and Agent Transfers during AEP will be completed with a 12/8 effective date.

As we approach AEP, we strongly recommend that any agency-wide agent transfers or hierarchy changes not completed by 10/15 be postponed until after AEP. This is in an effort to minimize impacts to reporting and/or change in RTS status for agents during AEP. To ensure consistency in RTS status, any requests for hierarchy changes or agent transfers during AEP will be processed with an effective date of 12/8. 

As a reminder, the blackout period does not apply to immediate releases for individual agents as outlined on page 5 of our Broker Manual.

Scope of Appointments

Important Reminders

There are 4 options for scopes:

  • Email/Text (Remote Signature)
  • Telephonic
  • Paper/Signed PDF
  • Signing Electronic SOA with the Prospect

Remember the 48 hour rule!!! CMS requires 48 hours between the Scope of Appointment (SOA) and a meeting with the beneficiary.

There are only two (2) exceptions to the 48-hour rule: 

  • Beneficiaries approaching the end of a valid enrollment period and the SOA is completed during the last four days of the election period
  • Beneficiaries who walk into an agent’s office, a kiosk, a plan’s office or any other walk-in will not be subject to the 48-hour rule
