Certification Training Notice

Launch Dates:

  1. June 21, 2023 AHIP Training Begins
    The AHIP training will be available on June 21, 2023. Once again the Blue Cross Medicare Options team has negotiated a lower rate for our contracted producers. The AHIP discounted rate for our producers is $125 instead of $175. In order to receive the discounted rate, you must use the partner link that will be provided at a later date.
  2. June 28, 2023 Blue Cross Medicare Options Plan/Product Training Begins
    The second section of the training includes the MAPD/PDP Plan/Product training and other required forms, which will launch on June 28. All producers must complete the training prior to marketing/selling 2024 MAPD/PDP plans.

Your Medicare Renewal Compensation

All producers must certify by December 22, 2023 to retain all prior year renewals (exemptions apply for PDP plans sold between 2006 and 2008).

2023 Medicare Curriculum Announcement

The 2023 AHIP course will no longer be available after June 16, 2023
at 11:59 p.m. CST.

Producers who wish to complete the 2023 MAPD/PDP curriculum may instead take the 2024 AHIP course along with the 2023 Medicare Options plan course, exam and forms. Producers seeking to complete the 2023 training will be assigned a dual plan year curriculum for both 2023 and 2024. The combined curriculum will satisfy the certification requirement for both 2023 and 2024 and will be available starting June 28.
