2021 AHIP...

[Travis Price]

So, here's the skinny:

The review questions are word for word the questions on the final. I put all the review questions and answers into a Google sheet and just searched a keyword and passed without issue.

If you fail this year, it's because you're lazy.

are you speaking of the review questions at the end of each module or are there additional questions to keep track of? thanks

If you fail any year - you're just stupid.

I wouldn't agree with that. I took it last year and it was a bit of a PITA... BUT, I also didn't pay any attention to the review questions.

Trying to find answers back and forth definitely wasn't easy... However, this year I paid more attention and the review questions and it was a breeze.

ahip says there are many different review questions.. so not the same??

I did screenshots of the module reviews and those were the only questions on my final test.

AHIP was a breeze this year because I did print to PDF all of the review questions. Most were identical but a couple were worded slightly different.

true about the review questions.... I had 1 more question to answer,,, hit some wrong key and everything lost.. still have 3 attempts ,.. talk about sad..

AHIP is a waste of time to do every year. It should only be required every 2 years and then a mini version for updates. Plus all the carriers then have their own set of modules/tests. It is one thing if we are learning, but the majority of it is busy work that we don't have time to waste as it is too time consuming. It's just a money maker. It wouldn't be so bad if we just had to do the AHIP but that every carrier has just as many modules and exams. Yes we want to learn about the changes but to go all over the compliance stuff year after year after is really annoying.

Sell AARP (they don't require AHIP) or don't sell MA.

Two solutions to fix that for you.

It's actually not "busy work" or a "cash grab"..

It's the carriers doing everything in their power to show compliance of their Salesforce.

Otherwise, when jackholes do something stupid, the feds can pull the carriers ability to get payments from CMS/Medicare.

You're in a highly regulated sector. Either accept it's part of doing business or don't sell it.
