We Took AHIP 2026 So You Don’t Have To
(But You Still Kinda Have To)
It’s officially AHIP season, and yes—we already took the 2026 training so we could give you the inside scoop. Whether you’re brand new or an AHIP veteran with a certificate collection, here’s what you need to know before you dive in.
Returning agent? Skip ahead.
If you’ve certified before, you can bypass Modules 1, 2, and 3 and jump straight to the quiz. It’s like a “fast pass,” but with more acronyms.
AHIP Modules 4 & 5
(And We Mean Timed.)
These slides are on a schedule of their own. They’re long, unskippable, and feel like they were designed by someone who really wants you to meditate on Medicare. Pack a snack and your patience.
FWA & CMS Training? Fast lane.

What’s New in 2026
(aka the plot twist)
Social Media Compliance
- Social Media compliance got more airtime expect reminders about what’s allowed and what’s… not so much.
Agent Compensation
- Agent compensation is front and center, including updates on the court-issued stay for last year’s final rule. (Yes, that one.)
Chargebacks and Pro-Rated Commissions
- Chargebacks and pro-rated commissions get their moment. Not the most exciting slides, but definitely ones to pay attention to.
Election Periods
- Election periods finally got a glow-up more detail, more clarity, less guessing.
Familiar Names
- Familiar names? Gone. The training swapped out real names for generic stand-ins. We’re guessing it’s to protect the innocent or the legally cautious.

Pro tips from your friendly neighborhood FMO:
- Read every question slowly. Then read it again. No, really. They love to throw in little curveballs.
- Use the quizzes. They’re your best friend in this process (besides us, of course).
As always, we’ll keep you in the loop as carrier certs start dropping—and if you need help, we’re here with tools, guidance, and a full team rooting for your success.
