of the most important operational periods of the year for independent Medicare agents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the 2027 plan year, September 2026 should be used to organize existing clients, review Annual Notice of Change documents, identify non-renewals and plan changes, update provider and prescription information, and prepare compliant follow-up workflows for October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is not to turn September into an early AEP sales period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to know your book before October 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Does the September 30 ANOC Deadline Matter?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Annual Notice of Change, or ANOC, explains how a

Advantage<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or Part D plan will change for the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plans generally must ensure current members receive the ANOC by September 30.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That gives beneficiaries an opportunity to understand changes before Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For agents, the ANOC can serve as a structured client-service tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of waiting until AEP begins, use September to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm the client&#8217;s current

Medicare Plan Finder, provider directories, formularies, or carrier guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What 2027 Changes Should Agents Understand?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents do not need to memorize every national policy change before reviewing an ANOC, but several 2027 developments are worth understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration Ends<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMS has announced that the voluntary Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration will end after 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMS releases final Medicare Advantage and Part D landscape information once offerings are finalized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents should

present preliminary carrier information as final.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Should I Structure an ANOC Review?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a repeatable process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good client review can be divided into three sections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Current Plan Changes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask the client to have the ANOC available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review major changes involving:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Premium<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deductible<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copays and coinsurance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum out-of-pocket amount<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drug coverage<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmacy arrangements<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplemental benefits<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provider or network information disclosed in the notice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2.

Follow-Up Needs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Document what requires additional verification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not guess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If current 2027 plan information is not yet available, note the question and follow up when authoritative plan-year information is available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Line Items Should Agents Check?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A practical ANOC checklist includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><b>Plan name and identifying information<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><b>Monthly premium<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0

<\/span><b>PCP and specialist cost-sharing<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><b>Hospital and urgent-care cost-sharing<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:

status<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For prescription drugs, focus on the medications the beneficiary actually takes rather than reviewing an entire formulary without context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For providers, verify specific doctors and facilities using current plan-year information when available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Should I Handle a Plan Non-Renewal?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A non-renewal requires a different workflow from a routine ANOC review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, confirm the official carrier notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then document:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plan that is ending<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effective termination date<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client&#8217;s current providers and prescriptions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the client wants to remain in Medicare Advantage or return to Original Medicare<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether federal or state Medigap Guaranteed Issue rights may apply<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not describe every non-renewal as automatically creating the same Medigap right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the specific circumstances, federal Medigap Guaranteed Issue protections may apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In qualifying situations, the application period can begin 60 days before Medicare Advantage coverage ends and generally extends no more than 63 days after it ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the beneficiary wants to use a Medigap Guaranteed Issue right, verify the applicable federal rule, Texas requirements, and carrier documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the plan&#8217;s termination or non-renewal notice because the beneficiary may need it as proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Should Agents Compare 2027 Plans During a September ANOC Review?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September can be used to service existing clients, review their current-plan ANOC, gather information, document needs, and prepare for the coming plan year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents should not prematurely market prospective 2027 Medicare Advantage or Part D offerings before the permitted marketing period begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginning <\/span><b>October 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, prospective marketing for the upcoming plan year may begin, subject to CMS, carrier, and organizational requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A September ANOC review should therefore focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the current plan says is changing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the client needs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What questions must be answered later<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not turn an ANOC service review into premature marketing of next year&#8217;s offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Changes for Agent Compliance on October 1, 2026?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several CY2027 rules are important for agents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Alcance de la Cita<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Scope of Appointment requirement remains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, beginning with the 2027 marketing period, CMS has eliminated the mandatory 48-hour waiting period between completion of the SOA and the personal marketing appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An advance agreement is still required when applicable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing the waiting period does not eliminate the Scope of Appointment itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sales and Marketing Call Recordings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMS reduced the required retention period for applicable recorded marketing and sales calls from 10 years to <\/span><b>6 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, effective October 1, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the new structure:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years 1\u20133 must retain audio recordings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years 4\u20136 may retain audio or transcripts, consistent with the finalized rule.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents should still follow carrier and FMO procedures because organizations may have operational requirements beyond the federal minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Superlative Claims<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMS&#8217;s 2027 rules allow certain superlative claims when they can be factually substantiated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That does not mean agents can freely say:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBest plan\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBest

evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The supporting data must substantiate the claim, and communications may not be misleading, confusing, or materially inaccurate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The safer operational rule remains: do not use comparative or superlative claims unless Compliance has reviewed both the statement and the supporting evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>TPMO Disclaimer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the current approved TPMO disclaimer applicable to the communication and plan year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not reuse an old script simply because it was compliant in the prior year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Should Referrals Be Handled?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANOC reviews can strengthen client relationships, and satisfied clients may refer family or friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But referrals do not remove Medicare contact restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An existing client can give another person your contact information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A referred individual should initiate contact or otherwise provide permission for the agent to contact them when required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not treat a friend&#8217;s name or telephone number supplied by an existing client as automatic permission to make an unsolicited Medicare marketing call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A safer process is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give the current client your contact information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:

person contact you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Document permission to contact when
