<h2>The Short Answer</h2>
<p>AEP 2027 (Oct 15–Dec 7, 2027) is when AI-native Medicare agencies pull decisively ahead. Winning stack: T65 pipeline pre-warmed with AI outbound Aug–Sep, Arwyn handles 100% of AEP inbound, AI Quoting compares plans in under 2 minutes, and CMS compliance (48h SOA retention, 12h call gap, recorded-call retention) runs automatically.</p>
</div>

<h2>The Pre-AEP Buildup (Aug–Sep 2027)</h2>
<p>AI outbound (Agent AI) warms the T65 pipeline, confirms current plan, and books October review slots. Agencies running this see 2–3x more AEP appointments than manual dialing.</p>

<h2>During AEP (Oct 15–Dec 7)</h2>
<p>Arwyn handles every inbound call — no voicemail, no lost lead. AI Quoting compares MAPD, PDP, and Medigap in under 2 minutes with plan-specific citations. SOA capture and 48-hour retention happen automatically.</p>

<h2>What CMS Will Not Allow</h2>
<ul><li>AI-only enrollment — a licensed agent must sign</li><li>Unrecorded Medicare marketing calls</li><li>SOA delivery without 48h retention</li><li>Sales contact within 12 hours of SOA execution</li></ul>

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<h3>Can AI enroll a client in a Medicare plan?</h3><p>No — CMS requires a licensed agent to complete enrollment. AI can quote, compare, book, and prep the app; the agent signs and submits.</p>
<h3>How does AI handle CMS recorded-call retention?</h3><p>Insurance-native voice AI (Arwyn, Agent AI) records and retains every Medicare marketing call per CMS rules automatically. Generic voice AI does not.</p>
