AHIP Certification for Medicare Agents
If you plan to sell Medicare Advantage or Part D plans, AHIP is required. AHIP is one of the first steps to getting contracted, certified, and ready to write business.
At The Bedrock Group Advisors, we make sure you understand not just what AHIP is, but how it fits into actually getting you in the field to produce.
What Is AHIP Certification?
AHIP stands for America's Health Insurance Plans, and the certification is an annual training program that is designed to teach you how to sell Medicare plans the right way.
It Covers:
-
Medicare Basics
-
Compliance and CMS regulations
-
Fraud, waste, and abuse prevention
-
Proper marketing and enrollment practices
Once completed, it confirms that you understand how to ethically and compliantly sell Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans.
Why AHIP Matters
AHIP allows you to:
-
Get contracted with Medicare Carriers
-
Complete your carrier certification
-
Be ready-to-sell during AEP and throughout the year
-
Stay compliant with CMS guidelines
Without AHIP, you are not ready-to-sell. It really is that simple.
What to Expect During The AHIP Process
Here is what the AHIP process looks like:
-
Online, self-paced training modules
-
A final exam with 50 questions
-
Two hours to complete the test
-
A required passing score of 90%
-
Three attempts per purchase
The certification must be completed every year, as the Medicare rules and plan details change annually.
The Cost of AHIP
The standard cost is:
-
$175/ year

When Should You Complete AHIP
AHIP typically opens in early summer for the upcoming plan year. To be fully prepared, you should:
-
Complete AHIP before starting carrier certifications
-
Have everything finished well before AEP (October 15th)
-
Use the time leading up to AEP to focus on production, not paperwork
Agents who wait until the last minute usually feel it, while those who knock this out early are ready to write business when it counts.
What Happens After AHIP?
AHIP is the first step, but not the finish line.
After passing, you will:
-
Send your AHIP results to your carriers
-
Complete carrier-specific certifications
-
Get ready-to-sell status
-
Begin enrolling clients
At TBGA, we guide you through this entire process so nothing gets missed.
