There have been a lot of posts about inconvenience to agents because of incomplete or incorrect data submitted to CMS and the problem of it not being corrected until February.

Sounds to me like they are making a special effort to provide a timely solution to the issues.

I tried pulling up a clients drug list a week ago and Medicare.gov was offline. Tried more than once for 30 minutes before moving on. Next day it was working.
