CERTIFICATIONS

What is AHIP?

AHIP is an industry-recognized certification test required by most carriers if agents want to sell Medicare Advantage (MA) and Prescription Drug Plans (PDP). Most carriers require you to take this test before taking their own additional specific certifications. This is an annual requirement and is of utmost importance.
