Annual Certifications
Offering Medicare Advantage and Part D plans isn’t something an agent can do casually. Every year, before he can discuss or enroll you in a plan, a Medicare agent must:
- Pass the AHIP Medicare certification — the industry-standard annual exam on Medicare rules and ethical marketing.
- Complete each carrier’s product certification for the plans they offer — separately, every year.
- Stay current on that year’s CMS marketing rules and plan changes.
That’s why working with a certified local agent means the plan details you hear are current for the year you’re enrolling.
Compliance You Can Count On
We follow the CMS rules that protect Medicare beneficiaries: we do not offer every plan available in your area, we don’t pressure or cold-call, and we’re clear that we’re not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program. For every plan in your area, you can always contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY: 711). How we research and review our content is spelled out in our editorial policy.
Free, Independent Help
Because we’re independent, we compare options across the carriers we represent and recommend what fits you — not a single company’s pitch. And it’s free: agents are paid by the carriers, so your premium is the same either way. Call 435-219-5120 (TTY: 711) or request a free quote.
