AHIP Modules 1-3 

For returning AHIP users, the great news is you can skip straight to the quizzes in Modules 1, 2, and 3, saving you valuable time. Here are some things that we wanted to point out: 

• Module 1: This module now offers a detailed cost breakdown for Medicare-covered expenses, giving you a clear understanding of what beneficiaries can expect. It also explains Medicare Part E, including Cost plans, Medicare Supplements, and PACE Plans. You’ll also find comprehensive information about ESRD with a transplant, which is crucial for those assisting patients with severe renal conditions. 
•  Module 2: This module examines employer/union Medicare Advantage plans in-depth, providing essential insights that are particularly useful for agents working with corporate clients. 
•  Module 3: Stay updated with the latest on the Inflation Reduction Act PDP information. This module continues to emphasize the importance of Insulin Savings, reflecting ongoing efforts to make diabetes management more affordable. It also goes over the Prescription Payment options available for 2025. 

AHIP Modules 4 & 5 

Modules 4 and 5 come with timed slides to ensure a thorough understanding of the material. Here’s what to expect: 

•  Module 4: Your go-to resource for marketing and communication strategies. This module includes significant updates on agent compensation and new marketing rules. The FAQs section is not to be missed, as it is packed with practical information and helpful insights. 
•  Module 5: This module focuses on enrollment and disenrollment periods. Reading the questions thoroughly in this module is crucial, as they can be particularly tricky. Understanding the specifics of these periods will aid in better client guidance. 

Key Updates for AHIP 2025 

• Quizzes: This year, you have the flexibility to pause and resume quizzes as needed. However, be aware that sitting idle for too long can cause an error, necessitating a quiz retake. 
• Returning Users: Returning AHIP users can directly access the quizzes for Modules 1, 2, and 3, streamlining your review process. 
• Timed Slides: Modules 4 and 5 enforce time frames to ensure you spend adequate time on each slide, promoting a comprehensive understanding of the content.

Tips For AHIP Success 

• Watch the Wording: Pay close attention to how questions are worded. Some are intentionally tricky to test your comprehension. 
• Best Answers: If you’re unsure, always choose the best answer available. Some questions may have multiple seemingly correct answers, so selecting the most accurate one is critical. 
• FWA and Compliance: Non-discrimination training is mandatory. 
• Study the Quizzes: The quizzes are invaluable study tools for the final exam. Reviewing them thoroughly can significantly boost your chances of success.
