Your AEP command desk for carrier and commission changes.

Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15 through December 7. The Commission AEP Desk helps licensed Medicare agents track the carrier, plan, compensation, and market changes that can affect their book—then turn those changes into an action list.

Use the AEP Desk in five steps

  1. Check what changed. Review verified carrier updates, plan exits, compensation developments, CMS guidance, and important deadlines.
  2. Review your markets. Monitor the states, counties, carriers, and product lines that matter to your business.
  3. Verify plan-level status. Check the Commissionability Tracker for available plan, county, new-enrollment, renewal, source, and effective-date detail.
  4. Build your worklist. Identify appointments, prospects, retention conversations, or carrier questions that may require follow-up.
  5. Watch for updates. Recheck before quoting, enrolling, or relying on a reported compensation status; carrier policies can change during the season.

What is free

  • AEP calendar and key enrollment dates.
  • Verified carrier, plan, compensation, and CMS headlines.
  • Broad carrier tracker updates and public-source context.
  • A clear “what this means for your book” takeaway on major developments.
  • The weekly verified-changes email brief.

Coverage and accuracy

Coverage is prioritized by verified source availability and reader demand. It is not represented as complete national coverage. Every record should be read with its evidence label, source date, effective date, and last-verified date.

Join the free verified-changes brief. Get the information every agent needs to monitor during AEP.

Help make the database more useful. If you receive a carrier notice, compensation grid, plan exit communication, or market-change alert, submit it for editorial review. Remove agent numbers, client information, and other sensitive details before submitting.
