MA/MAPD certification components AHIP Medicare training and exam: This course has five modules. The final exam requires a passing score of 90% or better within three attempts and includes Fraud, Waste and Abuse (FWA) training and a test. The AHIP final exam costs $125. (Except for 2019 Front Runners. For Front Runners, the cost is FREE.) If you’re recertifying and you completed last year’s AHIP training requirements, you can follow a recertification track of modules 4-5 only, plus the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training/exam. You should still reacquaint yourself with modules 1-3, since the final exam covers all five modules.
