2022 Aetna certification starts June 29

For 2022, we’re launching our annual Individual Medicare producer certification process on June 29, which is earlier than ever before! Brokers are encouraged to wait until Aetna certification goes live to certify. 

Our certification process includes AHIP training, plus several other Aetna-specific components. You can certify by visiting
AetnaMedicareProducerCertification.com.

This portal is a one-stop-shop for brokers seeking Aetna MA/MAPD/DSNP and SilverScript PDP training. 

Attention, 2021 Front Runners: Starting June 29, you can complete AHIP training free of charge if you access it through Aetna’s certification portal. But you won’t receive free AHIP enrollment or reimbursement if you complete AHIP prior to Aetna’s Go Live of June 29, 2021, or if you access AHIP training from a website other than Aetna’s certification portal.

What to know about 2022 certification 

NOTE: For 2022, all returning users will be required to reset their passwords upon their first time logging into the certification portal, to ensure their accounts meet updated password security standards. Users may do this by clicking the “Forgot Your Password?” link on the log-in page.

  • Brokers marketing 2022 Aetna MA/MAPD/DSNP products will also certify to sell SilverScript PDP products on the Aetna Certification Portal.
  • All brokers certifying to sell 2022 Aetna MA/MAPD/DSNP will also be required to certify for SilverScript PDP.
  • Brokers marketing PDP only may continue to use the CVS Portal to certify for SilverScript PDP. If they later decide to certify to sell MA/MAPD/DSNP, they’ll be required to complete the full Aetna certification, including AHIP and PDP training.
