   When yuo speak of being "medicare certified" you are usually speaking of the fact that there are two classes of medicare sales people-those that sell medicare selling that is unregulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services vs. those that do sell Medicare advantage. To be "medicare certified" you have to take the AHIP exam(American Health Insurance Portablity Act). It is both time consuming and expensive. This year when I finally completed the certification I had 24 hours invested in just the recertification. Then CMS regulates Medicare Advantage sales people like we are crooks whereas the Medicare Supplement sales people are allowed to go unregulated. I assume you realize you have to have a valid insurance license for the State you reside in.
