Contracting & Certification Updates:
Annual Certification Training:
We are excited to announce that 2021 Centene Annual Certification Training (ACT) is now available!
We have worked hard to include ACT in the One Broker Experience:
- One Combined 2021 ACT: this year's 2021 ACT is combined and satisfies the certification requirement for all Centene products, including MA/MAPD and PDP: Allwell, Ascension Complete, Fidelis Care, Health Net, & WellCare
- Unlimited Attempts: You can take the mastery exam as many times as you would like. Remember, there is a 24 hour lockout between attempts to allow you time to study and revisit any of the training material.
- Open-book Exam: The entire training course is available for download in PDF format located in the course Resources. The document can be searched by using the ctrl-f search function.
- Updated Product Information: A link is provided in the course to our product site. It is always up-to-date and can be referenced anytime. Note: First Looks will be available later this month.
- AHIP to ACT Made Easier: The Centene Learning Center provides real-time AHIP to ACT training availability.
- One Transcript: This year, AHIP and ACT training transcripts come from one location. Manual, separate transmission of AHIP has been eliminated!
Completing 2021 ACT satisfies the certification requirements to market and sell both 2020 and 2021 Centene plans.
