2017 MAPD/PDP AHIP Certification Training Is Open

Producers may now access the America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Medicare certification training that’s required to sell our Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan (MAPD) and stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) policies.

AHIP Fee Reduced for BCBSTX Producers
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) has negotiated with AHIP on a $125 fee for their certification training. That’s a savings of $50 off AHIP’s standard fee of $175. To take advantage of this savings, you must access AHIP’s training via a special website link:
