2027 Medicare Certification Instructions
Agents must complete annual certification requirements before marketing or selling Medicare Advantage and Part D plans.
Step 1: Complete Annual Medicare Training
Complete CMS-approved Medicare training through an approved vendor. The two most common options are AHIP and NABIP. We recommend AHIP, as not all carriers accept NABIP. NABIP Carrier List
Step 2: Complete Carrier Certifications
After completing your Medicare training, you must complete certification for each carrier you wish to represent. Carrier certification typically includes product training, compliance training, and exams.
Important Reminders
- Certifications must be completed annually.
- You must certify with each carrier you want to represent.
- Certification must be completed before marketing, discussing, or selling a carrier’s Medicare products.
- Processing times vary by carrier, so complete certifications early to avoid delays.

- If you are already registered with Miramar your dashboard will be on the screen after you log in. Click the button that says, “Register New Program.”
- You will be prompted to enter a registration pin code.
- The contracting and certification are straight forward with no exam. You will need to upload the 2027 AHIP Certification or NABIP Medicare Certification, so make sure you’ve completed that first. Time to certify from start to finish should be no more than 20-25 minutes.
- Please make sure to choose the appropriate information for the assignment of commissions. W9 should be your individual information when choosing “Pay me Directly” option. If you select the “Pay my Upline” option, the W9 for your upline agency should be used. This will require a TIN when making the initial selection. Reach out to your upline for that information.
- Please avoid using mobile devices and make sure to allow pop-ups.
