AHIP 2024 test tips
Each year over 100,000 agents and brokers take the AHIP course. AHIP is a CMS compliant course. It is updated every year so that the training is both accurate and relevant to the current CMS regulations. That is why the AHIP 2024 test tips are a great resource to help ensure your successful completion of the AHIP exam.
You must receive a grade of 90% to pass the exam and you are allowed 3 attempts to pass. You have 2 hours to complete the 50 question exam. If you do not pass after the third attempt, you will need to retake the course and pay again. It is important to note; some carriers will not allow you to sell if you do not pass the exam in the first 3 tries.
This year the 2024 exam is available starting June 21st, 2023. The exam will cover any business you write from now until the end of 2023 as well as through 2024.
Most carriers require you to take the AHIP, although UHC does not require AHIP. UHC does however, require certifications for Med Supp sales.
The cost for the AHIP course:
The cost of $175 includes the exam although you can get a $50 discount by taking it through one of the major carrier’s sites (UHC, Aetna, Humana, etc.). Agents who are part of the Pinnacle financial team are eligible for a $50 discount as well. All you need to do is go to pfsinsurance.com sign in, click on AEP Toolkit and from there you will scroll down and see a link for the:

Here is what the AHIP course covers:
The first part of the course covers Medicare and consists of 5 modules
- Medicare basics; fee-for-service and eligibility as well as benefits
- The different types of Medicare Advantage & prescription drug plans (Part D)
- Who is eligible and what is covered
- Nondiscrimination training
- Learn the requirements for the marketing and enrollment of Medicare Advantage as well as Part D prescription drug plans
You can download each module once you click on it. This is allowed and suggested to help you complete the test later. If you took the AHIP in 2023, you only need to click through the slides on modules 4 & 5 although, we recommend clicking on modules 1-3 as well so you can download the content. It is also not a bad idea to complete the practice tests at the end of ALL modules since those are the questions that will be on the test.
Each of the 5 modules has a 20 question practice test at the end. Pay very close attention to the practice questions; most of the test questions come from there.
Once you finish the 5 modules and the exam, remember to take the second part of the AHIP.
The second part of the course covers fraud, waste, and abuse
- Learn how to spot fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA)
- Find out what the Medicare industry is doing to detect fraud
- What are the legal tools that combat FWA
- Understand the human as well as the financial cost of fraud waste and abuse
- Review general compliance requirements for Medicare Parts C and D fraud, waste, and abuse.
- Find out who commits fraud, waste, and abuse
- What are loophole and obligations to reporting fraud, waste and abuse
After everything is successfully finished, remember to download your AHIP certificate. In many cases you can transmit your score to the carriers from the AHIP site, but some will need you to upload it into their dashboards yourself.
