About National Contracting Center

National Contracting Center (NCC) is a Medicare-focused Field Marketing Organization, or FMO. Founded in 1992, we have helped thousands of independent insurance agents and agencies grow their sales of Medicare and senior health products.

We Know the Business Because We're in the Business

When Jerold Johnson created NCC, he wanted to build a different kind of FMO. An agent himself since 1983, Jerold knew what kind of support he hoped to find when working with a field marketing organization.

Founded in 1992, Jerold set out to make the FMO he envisioned a reality for agents all over the country. Now, at National Contracting Center, we’ve been working to provide the service and support Medicare agents need in the decades since.

Since 2017 Jackson Johnson, has stepped into his role at National Contracting Center to help even more agents expand their business. Growing up in the industry, Jackson has the exact perspective needed to identify what our agents need and how to better serve them. Jackson is now serving as the Director of Operations after taking on several different roles to ensure a full 360 view of what makes National Contracting Center unique.

Jackson and Jerold are not the only agents you’ll find in NCC’s offices, though. Many members of our staff are also agents themselves. When you work with us, you get the advice, answers, and service that only experienced insurance professionals can provide.

We handle the tasks that take up your time but don’t make you money freeing you to focus on what you do best, selling.

We Handle Your Business. We Don't Touch Your Cash.

We think selling insurance should be simple. Our job is to do the back office work so you can spend time with clients.

Let us help with . . .

We handle everything but your cash. You get 100% direct pay from the carrier into your bank account, along with one-on-one support from experienced insurance professionals who are invested in your success.

SilverScript Producer Certification Requirements for 2023

  • Details refer to certification for SilverScript. AHIP certification must be completed separately.
  • SilverScript certification for 2022 launches on Wednesday, June 29, 2022.
  • New option in 2022: No cost certification for agents who want to sell only Aetna MA/MAPD or SilverScript PDP products, exclusively.

  • Agents must do 3 things to be ready to sell SilverScript:
    Step #1: Contract with Aetna. This is a requirement to be eligible for commissions on plans with effective dates of 1/1/2023 and later. (Note: If you’re already contracted for Aetna MA/MAPD, you can skip this step, as there’s no additional action you need to take with your contract.)
    Step #2: Complete 2023 certification.
    Step #3: Receive a ready-to-sell notice
  • There are separate certification processes for Aetna MA/MAPD and SilverScript PDP. Completing 2023 Aetna certification does not satisfy the certification requirement for SilverScript.
  • 2023 Certs will NOT cover the remainder of 2022.
  • TAKE AHIP FIRST! If you pass AHIP first you can skip 2 of the 3 SilverScript test modules. 
  • There’s a link on Agent Portal to transmit their AHIP send scores. 
  • In Pinpoint, the direct scores to be sent upon registration for the test, Gorman, agents can use Silver Mail to upload the cert.
  • Passing score is 90%.
