Medicare Advantage requirements

As part of the Medicare credentialing requirements, Baylor Scott & White Health Plan has to receive your passing AHIP, Product Training and current TDI License and Appointment confirmation every year. If you do not maintain credentialing requirements, your selling rights will be suspended and possibly terminated.

  1. AHIP

    AHIP is released approximately mid-June annually. If you have already completed and passed the training through another carrier's web link, follow the steps below for BSWHP to capture your passing data for our records.

    1. Log into our AHIP
    2. Go to the heading "Completion Transmissions"
    3. Click the "Transmit" link next to "Scott and White Health Plan"

    If you have not completed the AHIP training, you can register or log into AHIP, pay the applicable fees and complete the required certifications. By following this process, you give Baylor Scott & White Health Plan permission to obtain your passing AHIP certification in order to update your file and our system.

  2. Product Training
    • Medicare Agent Product Training is released annually between late July and August by BSWHP using our training system.
    • Each appointed Medicare agent with an active license will receive an Informed Agent notification once the training is released.
    • All Medicare agents are required to complete and pass product training with 85% or higher passing score.
    • There are multiple Medicare trainings. Make sure to complete all that are applicable to you.
    • If you need help with your username and password, please contact us.
  3. TDI License and Appointment

    All agents are required to maintain an active Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) license as well as BSWHP and subsidiary appointments.

    If you have not renewed your license 45 days prior to expiring, you will receive a reminder from BSWHP to renew your license.
