When should I configure new carrier integrations relative to Open Enrollment?

You can configure a supported carrier integration without waiting for Open Enrollment to close. The Carrier Exchange configuration flow does not require Open Enrollment to be closed.


What happens after configuration

  1. After you turn on an integration and enter its group number, the plan integration displays as Pending while setup is in progress.
  2. A Pending plan integration is not utilized until it becomes Active.
