Note: If you see a Log in screen – Your browser probably has blocked Tracking Cookies and

they are necessary to properly log you in to CourseMill, so that CourseMill can relay your status (Passed/Incomplete/Fail) back to the SilverScript Portal. Please see the “Troubleshooting Errors and Issues” Section at the end of this guide for help if you don’t know how to allow our website to use tracking cookies.

Click on the green icon to

Updated May 2015 25

At the end of each module you will take a test of 20 questions. A score of 90% or above is

needed to pass each module. You have only 3 attempts to pass each test module. Do not use

the browser’s back arrow or use right click/Back, this leads to issues with the system and may

cause you to fail the course.

If you have submitted your AHIP or Gorman certificate for the plan year, you need to only

complete the E3 Product Process course and the final ECert Certification. We only accept direct

certifications from these two companies; we cannot accept them from competitors’ training,

even if they have “AHIP” on them. We cannot accept certificates from other entities, like CMS

or Pinpoint, or transcripts. We will accept State Department of Insurance certificates in

conjunction with AHIP.

If the Overview and Compliance courses are not showing Complete, please check in the portal

every day or two to verify that they were entered. If they are not complete within a week after

completing the Product course, please contact Agent Support at 888‐277‐4174 or

[email protected].

NOTE: Stopping and restarting the course module once the first question has been displayed will count as an attempt, therefore it is advised to set aside time to prevent disruption.

Click on the blue icon to

open the course. This % Complete and

Status displays the info

regarding that course.


Updated May 2015 26

Once you launch the course you will see a screen reminding you that you have only 3 attempts

to take the course. Click OK and proceed to the course.

Generally speaking, if you fail the test the first time, before you try again; please go to the

Reference Materials Tab, Look for the [Plan Year] CERTIFICATION TRAINING MODULE, then find

the course that matches the title of the course you are taking. You can use it as an open book

test. Take your time. Read the questions carefully. We want you to succeed and we know your

time is valuable. If you fail three times, you will not be able to represent our plans for that plan

year.


Updated May 2015 27

The training courses do not progress automatically. You need to click the Start button, the Next

button, or the Back button to navigate through the material. If you do not see them, maximize

the window to the full screen mode.


Updated May 2015 28

Do not use the browser’s back arrows or by right‐click menu, especially during the test at the

end of each module, as this will cause issues with the way the questions are scored and may

not be considered a technical error with the system.

We strongly encourage you to thoroughly review the course material. History shows that

people who fail the tests are the people who race through the slides assuming that they already

know everything there is to know about Medicare Part D, or they don’t read each question fully

and carefully.

Reminder: There are documents available regarding the Curriculum in the Reference Materials link in the menu. They can be used as an “open‐book” for the test at the end of each module.

Use the navigation buttons

here to read through the

course materials.


Updated May 2015 29

Complete the Test for each course.

Note: After the 20th question, there is a pause in the system while it calculates and displays

the score. This is not the system freezing, nor is it any indication that you have not received

all 20 questions. It is normal, please do not try to refresh your screen or go back.

ONLY use these buttons to

go through the test.

Some tests may not have a

back button available.


Updated May 2015 30

Note: The Medicare Overview and Compliance courses are usually available a couple weeks in advance of Product & Process Module.

When all of the course modules are completed, the Certification module will display the arrow

to open and complete the final module. Completion of the last “Certification” module allows

the system to send the first packet of Enrollment Applications. After you agree to the terms and conditions for selling SilverScript Insurance Company products

presented in the fourth module, you can print a Training Completed certificate.

As you complete the final module, you will see a confirmation screen providing instructions to

print your SilverScript Insurance Certificate of Completion. After printing the certificate, click

the Exit button. Close CourseMill by clicking “Logoff” in the upper right corner of the page and

closing that window or tab. You will now return to the Enrollment Portal.

You can return to the training course or the Reference Materials links at any time to review the

learning materials. You can also return to the Certification Module to re‐print the certificate if it

doesn’t print successfully the first time.

Use the exit button here to

close the course and have the

system log your score.


Updated May 2015 31

Passing all course modules listed will give you access to all features of the Enrollment Portal

according to your user level.

We do not need a copy of this certificate; it is for your records only. Our system will update the

SilverScript Agent Portal automatically and upon returning to the Training page, just Refresh the

screen, or go to the Home Screen to see your Training status update.

The SilverScript Enrollment Portal functionality prevents users from accessing plan

information, marketing materials, and enrollment forms until the certification test and

background check are passed (agent appointments must also be processed, when applicable).

Section10:EnteringEnrollmentsinthePortal

Agents must confirm that the client has signed and dated the completed application form.

All agent enrollments applications must be data entered into the SilverScript

Enrollment Portal within 24 hours of agent receipt. Instructions for submitting the hard

copy paper enrollment form after data entry are found in the agent section of the application.

If the enrollment application is incomplete – NO ALTERATIONS MAY BE MADE TO AN

ENROLLMENT APPLICATION BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE CLIENT AFTER AGENT HAS

RECEIVED IT.

o For example, the client has signed and dated the enrollment then mailed it to the

agent. The agent has signed and dated the application upon receipt and the CMS clock

for timely processing is now started upon agent receipt. You are about to data enter the

enrollment application on behalf of the agent, but you notice there is missing

information. This is an incomplete application. Immediate action must be taken

through the agent completing one of the following:

The agent will need to obtain the missing information on the original

application from the client along with the client initials next to the change.

The agent will need to obtain a replacement application that is accurate and

complete.

An agent must have a clear background check, passed the training, have a valid, current

insurance license in the primary state of residence for the agent’s Medicare client, and be

appointed in that state, as required by state law.

AFTER RECEIPT OF ENROLLMENT APPLICATION

The method of submission varies by SNMO.

To enter an Enrollment that was either written on a paper application or was entered directly

into the portal while the client was in the office, select the method the agent received the

enrollment. Either they received it in the mail or they completed the enrollment face to face

with the Beneficiary/Client.

The online enrollment form has several screens to complete. All you will need to do is enter

the data into the online form just as it appears on the signed, paper enrollment form.

The last screen of the online enrollment form contains an Enrollment Confirmation number.

We encourage you to print the confirmation screen or write the confirmation number on the

signed, paper enrollment form, there is a line provided for it on page 6 of the paper application.

Note: Remember, IEP is different for Med D PDPs than Med Supplemental plans; the difference for PDPs is that the IEP is either Part A or Part B, whichever comes first. If they have had Part A for several months or longer, and are just beginning their Part B, then this does not qualify as an IEP for PDP plans. Please select the appropriate SEP. Do not use “New to Medicare”. Also, IEP enrollments MUST follow this Effective date rule:

The first screen will request the way you or the Agent received the completed enrollment

application, and whether there is a Scope of Appointment. The Plan Year is displayed on the

The next screen will have options to choose the desired plan and the Election Period. Make

certain that the Plan you select matches the plan on the paper enrollment form.

When you select the Election Period of Initial or Special, you will see a new text for Reason

Codes appear in red.

Please make certain to select the same plan

as on the enrollment application form

A few Helpful tips for entering an enrollment:

1. Make certain to choose the correct Election Period from the Pop up box that appears when selecting “Initial” or “Special”. (Annual is ONLY used between Oct 15th and Dec 7th.)

2. Watch the Member Name: It’s entered as Last Name, Suffix, and then First Name, Middle Initial, and title.

3. Phone numbers and Medicare/Railroad Retirement Claim Numbers must not have dashes in them or a space after the last number/letter.

4. It’s not complete until you have a Confirmation number. 5. Don’t forget to submit the paper application, and SOA if applicable, as soon as you have

the confirmation number. If entering the enrollment application directly into the portal, submit the printed copy with the client’s signature and date.

6. IEP for PDPs is different from Med Supps. It is based on the date the client first became eligible for Part A or Part B, if they are different.

If Automatic Bank Draft Withdrawal is selected, there will be a new section added to enter the

Account information.

If the client’s premium is going to be automatically deducted from their SSA or RRB check, make

certain to ask which one. If you select the wrong one, the deductions will take even longer to

process than the usual 2‐3 months.

Hint – If the Letter is at the beginning instead of the end of their claim number, they are probably collecting RRB benefits instead of SSA benefits. Please ask the member to clarify.

Once you have received this screen, make note of the Confirmation number. You should also

receive an email with this confirmation number and the client’s name for his/her records. As

long as you have this confirmation number, the enrollment has been submitted.

Note: If the enrollment was entered directly into the Enrollment Portal, print a hard

copy of the enrollment form for the member’s records and another for submitting the

application with yours and your client’s signatures with the Scope of Appointment to

SilverScript Insurance.

The last screen in the online application process displays a confirmation number. We

encourage you to print the screen or write the confirmation number onto the signed paper

enrollment application form.

Write this number on the bottom of

page 6 of the paper application.
