How do I get certified to sell Medicare?

To sell Medicare products, you must first be certified by a nationally recognized certification authority. Among these, the America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) platform stands out as a premier provider of the Medicare + Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (MFWA) certification. This certification is a prerequisite demanded by the vast majority of Medicare carriers, ensuring agents are well-equipped to offer Medicare plans responsibly and effectively.

Both new and returning agents must renew their AHIP certification annually, underscoring the importance of staying current with evolving Medicare regulations and guidelines.

The certification fee is $175. However, to support agents in this endeavor, Premier Insurance Contracts may offer discount codes to alleviate some of the financial burdens.

How do I get certified to sell ACA?

To become certified to sell ACA products, you'll need to complete the certification process mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This process is free of charge and must be completed yearly for both new and returning agents.

Our contracting department can guide you through the process and help you get started.

Do I need an E&O Policy?

If you're an independent licensed agent trying to get contracted with major carriers, you'll likely need to have an Errors and Emissions policy (E&O). This policy protects you from any errors or omissions that may occur in your work. E&O is sometimes called malpractice insurance. Our agency recommends NAPA to all of our new agents. We recommend $1M/$3M limits on your policy, as this is the typical requirement for most carriers.

Premier can guide you in obtaining the coverage you need to protect your business and make sure you follow the requirements given by most carriers.

What is an FMO for insurance agents?

An FMO, or Field Marketing Organization, is a pivotal partner for independent insurance agents, specializing in health, life, and ancillary insurance sectors. The FMO acts as a bridge, connecting you with a select group of insurance carriers, thereby streamlining your entry into the industry and paving the way for your success.

Partnering with a reputable FMO is like gaining a mentor in the insurance field. A quality FMO provides a comprehensive suite of support services crucial for your growth. These services include assistance with contracting and appointments, ensuring you're well-equipped to offer your services confidently. Furthermore, an FMO enriches your professional journey with targeted training and education, keeping you up to date on the latest industry trends, regulations, and product knowledge. Sales and marketing support is another cornerstone of their offering, empowering you to effectively reach and serve your clients.
