Medicare AHIP Training

Medicare AHIP Training

By Ed Crowe | General Articles | 0 comment | 31 May, 2023 | 0

Medicare AHIP Training

The AHIP Exam, or America’s Health Insurance Plan Exam, is the most widely-recognized Medicare training certification in the health insurance industry. Over 100,000 brokers and agents take this exam every year. The exam covers Medicare, details of how the industry works, and the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training. Together, all of this information is referred to as MFWA Training.

 

The Medicare side of this exam will cover the following:

  • Basics of Medicare

  • Eligibility and coverage

  • Anti-discrimination training

  • Marketing and enrollment strategies

 

The Fraud, Waste, and Abuse side, on the other hand, will include:

  • Identifying fraud, waste, and abuse

  • Some of the industry efforts to detect fraud

  • How legal tools can combat fraud, waste, and abuse

  • The human and financial costs of fraud, waste, and abuse

  • Compliance requirements for brokers and agents

  • How to report fraud, waste, and abuse

  • Loopholes and obligations

 

The AHIP exam itself consists of 50 questions, all of which are taken randomly from the five different portions of the training in order to cover all the topics. Each participant has three chances to score a 90% or higher. While agents have reported that they can get through the exam in an hour or less, the time limit for taking the final exam is two hours per attempt.

 

Here are some tips for taking the AHIP exam successfully:

 

  1. Use Google Chrome as the browser.

Since this is an online exam, some agents have reported errors with submission when they used different browsers. To be on the safe side, Google Chrome is typically a good bet.

 

  1. Study the review questions.

It is not unusual for the final exam to include between 30 and 40 questions taken directly from the exam study guides. Module quizzes are helpful for practicing and readily available online.

 

  1. Be able to apply the knowledge from the training.

It is not enough to memorize facts for this exam. The test will ask participants to apply that knowledge to real-life situations, like examples of which plan would be best suited for a fictional beneficiary.

 

  1. Set a sustainable pace.

With 50 questions and two hours to complete the test, the participants should allot about two minutes per question on the exam in order to finish in a reasonable timeframe.

 

Taking time to study, practice, and apply the knowledge learned in the training modules will set agents up for success when they become some of the 100,000 who take the AHIP Exam each year.

AHIP Discount Code

AHIP Discount Code

By Ed Crowe | General Articles | 0 comment | 8 March, 2023 | 0

AHIP Discount Code

The Medicare AHIP for 2023 will be available on June 20th.  The cost will remain $175 for the 2023 certification course and exam.  The certification is $125 when taken through a number of the insurance company certification portals with the AHIP discount code built in.  Read below for additional updates on the 2023 certification.

Important: Current year AHIP certifications do not count toward the next AEP.  For example, if you take and pass AHIP in 2023 you cannot use it during AEP from October 15th to December 7th of 2023.  AEP business written during this time is effective for a 1-1-2024 start date.  As a result, you need the 2024 AHIP to write the business.   The 2024 AHIP will come out in June of 2023.  If you are looking to write MA or PDP business at that point, it is best to simply take the 2024 AHIP and skip the 2023 AHIP.  The 2024 AHIP will allow you to write business for the remainder of 2023.

AHIP discount code: $175 vs. $125

Accessing AHIP through the official Portal will cost $175.  2023 AHIP (Medicare + Fraud, Waste and Abuse (MFWA)) became available on June 20th 2023.  It is best to wait to take AHIP through a portal with the discount code.  That is how you get to take the course with the AHIP discount code built in.  The cost is reduced to $125 for those taking the course through a portal with the AHIP discount code built in.
