Attention Texas Agents: Continuing Education Courses Must
Be Completed Prior to Licensing
As
an agent working in the state of Texas, you must satisfy continuing education
requirements in order to sell Medicare Advantage (MA) and/or Prescription Drug
Plans (PDP) in the state.
PLEASE
NOTE that a NEW Texas licensing requirement states that effective April 1,
2010all currently licensed Texas agents selling MA and/or PDP must
take a certified continuing education course prior to license renewal in
order to satisfy the new requirement. As of April 1, 2010, new agents
will need to take certified continuing education courses prior to licensing.

For
agents who sell annuities and long term care: Although Universal American no

continuing education requirements.
Ensure

manner.
