Certification components

AHIP Training: This course has five modules. The final exam requires a passing score of 90% or better within three attempts and includes Fraud, Waste and Abuse (FWA) training and a test. The AHIP final exam costs $125. If you’re recertifying and you completed last year’s AHIP training requirements, you can follow a recertification track of modules 4-5 only, plus the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training/exam. You should still reacquaint yourself with modules 1-3, since the final exam covers all five modules.
Core training: Provides a high-level view of Aetna and Coventry Individual MA products
Part D training: Offers a high-level look at Aetna and Coventry Part D products.
MA/MAPD market-specific training: If you sell MA/MAPD plans, you’re required to complete market product training for the local markets where you intend to sell. You must also pass an online MA/MAPD overview test. If you sell in multiple markets, you must attend local market product training in every market where you intend to sell. But, you only need to take and pass the online MA/MAPD overview test once.
MA/MAPD overview training: Provides a high-level overview of all Aetna and Coventry Individual MA/MAPD products.

Yes, as long as you earn a score of 90% or better on the final exam within three attempts. You may transfer your existing AHIP certification to us through our certification site. You must still complete the other Aetna-specific requirements to finish the Aetna Individual Medicare annual certification process.
