Ready-to-Sell Status

Check Your Carrier Contract Status Often

Your Agent Portal is where you can stay updated on carrier contracting, appointment status, pending items, release windows, and Ready-to-Sell status.

  • View your current carrier contract and appointment status.
  • See which carriers are active, pending, in transfer, or awaiting additional steps.
  • Confirm whether a carrier has sent a contract or is waiting on a release.
  • Request a new carrier contract through your portal at any time.
  • Keep your certifications and carrier access organized before AEP.
Important: Certification does not automatically mean Ready-to-Sell. Always verify the carrier status before discussing plans, presenting benefits, or submitting enrollments.

Important Agent Reminder

Certification dates are helpful, but they are only one part of the process. Agents must also be properly contracted, appointed where required, licensed in the applicable state, certified for the applicable product, and confirmed Ready-to-Sell by the carrier before discussing plans, presenting benefits, or submitting enrollments.

Your portal should be reviewed regularly so you can stay updated on carrier statuses, pending contracts, release windows, appointment activity, and available contracting opportunities.

Tip: Bookmark this page and check back often. Carrier dates, launch windows, training portals, and certification requirements can change during certification season.
Compliance Notice: This page is provided as a convenience for licensed insurance agents. Carrier certification links, dates, requirements, deadlines, contracting rules, appointment rules, and Ready-to-Sell requirements may change at any time. Dates marked “Coming Soon,” “Check Portal,” or “Expected” should be confirmed directly with the carrier. Agents are responsible for confirming current requirements directly with each carrier and must not market, discuss, present, or sell any plan unless properly licensed, contracted, appointed where required, certified, and approved as Ready-to-Sell.
