Take Your AHIP with Blue!
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) will continue its partnership with America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) to provide comprehensive 2020 Medicare training for all Medicare appointed Blue Cross NC agents. AHIP training opened on June 17, 2019.

- Training must be completed between June 17, 2019 and August 16, 2019
