Now, here's what you need to know about the AHIP discount.

How to Apply the $50 AHIP Discount

The AHIP discount applies automatically when you use our link, or that of another FMO. You can get the discount by:

1. Clicking on our AHIP discount link.
2. Click through and register with your NPN and basic info. The $50 discount applies automatically, no code needed.
3. Complete the Medicare and Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) training modules.
4. Take the final exam.

That's the whole process. You don't need to be contracted with AgentBoost to use our link, and there's no cost to you for using it. If you're already part of the Agent Boost network, this is one more thing we handle for you every certification season so you're not stuck paying full price.

Why Does AHIP Cost $175 in the First Place?

AHIP stands for America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade association representing about 1,300 health insurance companies. The certification itself, officially called AHIP Medicare + Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (MFWA) Training, is the industry's standard compliance course for agents who want to sell Medicare Advantage or Part D plans.

Without it, carriers won't let you sell their Medicare products. That makes it a required cost of doing business each year, not an optional add-on. The $50 discount doesn't change what the course covers. It just lowers what you pay to take it.

Can I Get Reimbursed for AHIP?

In many cases, yes. A number of carriers will reimburse agents for the cost of AHIP certification once you've met certain production requirements with them. This applies whether you paid $175 or used the discount to pay $125.

Check with each carrier you're contracted with directly, since reimbursement policies and thresholds vary. Using the discount link doesn't disqualify you from reimbursement. It just means less money out of pocket while you wait.

When Does AHIP Open Each Year?

AHIP certification for the upcoming plan year typically opens in late June. For 2027, certification opened June 22, 2026. This timing matters because carriers need agents certified well before the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) begins on October 15.

If you're taking AHIP for the first time mid-year, before the next year's version opens, that certification often covers you for the rest of the current year in addition to the following year. Once you've certified for a full year, your renewal cycle shifts to the summer, matching everyone else's schedule.

What's Actually on the AHIP Exam?

The exam covers two sections:

• Medicare Training: Medicare Advantage and Part D rules, marketing guidelines, and plan structures.
• Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) Training: how to identify and report fraud, plus the financial and ethical consequences of non-compliance.

You'll answer 50 questions with a two-hour time limit. It's open book, so you can reference your training materials while you test. You need a score of 90% or higher to pass, and you get up to three attempts.

What Happens If I Fail the AHIP Exam?

You get three attempts total. If you fail all three, most carriers won't accept a passing score after that point, even if you're technically allowed to purchase more attempts. That means failing three times can push your certification, and your ability to sell, into the following year.

A few things that help before you sit down for the real exam:

• Take the practice quizzes built into each training module. The final exam questions are pulled from the same question pool.
• If you certified last year, you may be able to skip modules 1 through 3 and go straight to modules 4 and 5, plus a review. Check your specific state and carrier requirements first.
• Don't use outside tools, forums, or AI during the actual exam. AHIP's platform is monitored, and using unauthorized help during the certified test can put your certification at risk.

Does the AHIP Discount Work for Every Carrier?

The AHIP certification itself is universal. Once you pass it, that certification transmits to every carrier that accepts AHIP, which is most of them. A few carriers, like UnitedHealthcare, run their own separate certification process instead of relying on AHIP.

The $50 discount link is specific to whoever issued it to you, not to a particular carrier. So the same discounted certification you complete through your FMO's link works across all the carriers you're contracted with that accept AHIP.

Conclusion

Save your $50 by registering through the Agent Boost AHIP discount link before you start. Complete the Medicare and FWA training, and pass the 50-question exam with a 90% or better. Do that before AEP hits, and you'll be ready to sell without any last-minute scrambling, or paying more than you have to.
