As an insurance agent, getting certified to sell Cigna Medicare plans is a key step to expanding your portfolio and offering clients access to trusted healthcare solutions. Whether you’re new to selling Medicare or an experienced agent looking to add Cigna to your options, the certification process is straightforward and packed with opportunities to grow your business. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
The first step to becoming certified is registering as a Cigna producer. Visit the Cigna Producer Portal and complete the required forms to start the onboarding process. You’ll need to provide basic information about your agency, licensing, and credentials. Make sure your insurance license is active and includes the appropriate lines of authority to sell health insurance.
Cigna requires all agents to complete the AHIP (America’s Health Insurance Plans) certification. This ensures you have a solid understanding of Medicare rules, regulations, and compliance standards. Many agents report that completing AHIP early helps streamline their certification with multiple carriers.
Once you’ve passed AHIP, you’ll need to complete Cigna’s product-specific training. This training provides detailed information about Cigna’s Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans, including plan benefits, network information, and sales guidelines. The training is hosted on Cigna’s producer platform and ensures you are well-equipped to represent their brand.
After completing the required training, you’ll need to sign Cigna’s Producer Agreement. This contract formalizes your relationship with Cigna and ensures you adhere to their compliance and ethical standards. Be sure to review the agreement thoroughly before signing.
Once certified, you’ll gain access to the Cigna Producer Portal, where you can manage your leads, access marketing materials, and submit enrollments electronically. Familiarize yourself with the tools available on the portal to streamline your sales process and maximize efficiency.
Certification doesn’t stop after initial training. Cigna requires agents to complete annual recertification to stay up-to-date on plan changes, CMS regulations, and compliance standards. Mark your calendar for annual training reminders to ensure uninterrupted access to sell Cigna Medicare plans.
Cigna is a trusted name in healthcare, offering competitive Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans tailored to a wide range of client needs. By becoming certified, you’ll tap into:
