How to get licensed in South Carolina

The South Carolina Department of Insurance licenses insurance agents in South Carolina. Here is the path to a resident license that covers health insurance, then the steps to sell Medicare and ACA plans.

  1. Resident license

    Get the right license line

    In South Carolina, the resident license that lets you sell health insurance is Accident and Health (or the combined Life, Accident and Health). The South Carolina Department of Insurance issues it.

  2. Not required

    No pre-licensing course required

    South Carolina does not require a pre-licensing course for this license. You can study on your own and book the exam when you are ready.

  3. Pearson VUE

    Pass the state exam

    In South Carolina, insurance licensing exams are run by Pearson VUE. You schedule your health line exam with them.

  4. Required

    Get fingerprinted

    South Carolina requires fingerprints for a background check for resident producers, through IdentoGO.

  5. Apply for your license

    Apply for your South Carolina resident license through NIPR. You receive your National Producer Number (NPN), a unique ID that follows you to every state, during the application process.

  6. Every plan year

    Certify for Medicare

    To sell Medicare Advantage and Part D plans with us, complete the AHIP Medicare + Fraud, Waste, and Abuse course for the current plan year (AHIP updates it every year), plus each carrier's certification.

  7. Every plan year

    Register with CMS for ACA plans

    Complete Marketplace registration and training with CMS each plan year through the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS). South Carolina uses HealthCare.gov, so this is the registration that lets you enroll South Carolina residents in marketplace plans. CMS ties Marketplace access to the health line of authority on your resident license, so your South Carolina license comes first.

  8. Keep your license active

    To renew, South Carolina requires 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years, including 3 hours of ethics.

Also good to know in South Carolina: Exam score reports expire 12 months after they are issued, so apply for the license within a year of passing.
