An Important message from TOM!

Please, Please, Please!! 
 
If you do not pass AHIP on the FIRST (1st) attempt, Text Alison and let her call you before your next attempt.  (770) 807-9627
 
Please note that there are some different questions on this years AHIP so you should pay attention to the modules.
 
  AHIP is OPEN  


Why do you want to send your completed applications to Premier?

 
1.  They scrub your applications before they send them in and promptly contact you if corrections need to be made.
2.  They keep the SOA on file so that you do not have to keep 10 years worth of papers.
3.  For leads!!!
ATTENTION:
If you are sharing a Walmart Store and have not added your other person to the list, make sure you let the FMO you got the store from know so that the other person can get the training that allows them to be in the store.  This training has to be completed by August 15.  If you have not completed it you may not be able to be in the store.
See notice below about the webinar you should also take part in.
If you are not in a Walmart store this year, then please disregard this information.  If you do not have one, then it is too late for this year.

Thank you for participating in the 2018 HealthCare Begins Here Initiative. I just want to go over the requirements and give you vital information to move forward.

  • Each store must be staffed 20 hours per week over the period of 3 or more days
  • You must report your hours and production every day on your broker portal.
  • You must complete the online training module on the broker portal. (I was told it would only take 30 minutes).
  • You are eligible for a $250 refund if you have the minimum of 2 Medicare Advantage carriers and are certified to sell with them by 09/10/2018. Attend all events as scheduled. Follow all CMS rules and regulations. Keep the store staffed 3 or more days a week with a minimum of 20 hours per week. Maintain a 90% reporting threshold for the entire program.
