ComedyCE.com offers continuing education courses for health insurance agents in Texas. While we do host some in-person events, most of our courses are presented online through GoToWebinar.

All webinar courses give classroom CE credit (not "classroom equivalent") with no exam. You get the same credit you would at a live, in-person event. You do have to pay attention: keep the presentation open on your screen and answer the attendance checks, a poll or a question in the GoToWebinar question box.

24 hours each license renewal period, including 3 hours of ethics. Agents who sell Medicare Advantage or Part D also need 4 Medicare-related hours, even if grandfathered.

Live classes let you dial in by phone. Recorded classes (with Eric answering questions live) need you to watch and listen on the same device. A computer works best.

We schedule several months ahead, so a date or time can occasionally move. We do our best to stick to the schedule.

Actually, our courses provide classroom credit , the same as you'd get if you attended an in-person event. Classroom equivalent courses require intermittent quizzes – ours don't. You just need to attend the entire course, pay attention, and answer the attendance checks (usually a survey question or open-ended question that you'll answer in GoToWebinar's question box).

No. We use PayPal as our payment processor, but you have the option of paying as a guest. You do not need a PayPal account to use PayPal.

All Season Passes reset January 1, so it's better to sign up early. That way, you can easily meet your CE requirements by attending a couple webinars per month.

The Season Pass is the same price regardless of when you sign up, so it's better to sign up earlier rather than later. We offer 12 hours of CE per month, so even someone who signs up later in the year can usually complete their CE credits before year end.

Of course. Just email Eric at eric@comedyce.com and we'll discuss.

Courses are labeled as General, Ethics, Medicare, or Small Group. And yes, all count toward your required 24 hours each license renewal period. You are required to take at least 3 hours of ethics, but you can certainly take more. The Medicare CEs provide the ongoing CE credit for agents with the Medicare-Related Products Certification in Texas (4 hours of Medicare CE are required). The Small Group CEs provide the ongoing CE credit for agents with the Small Group Agent Certification in Texas (5 hours of Small Group CE are required). But, again, all courses count toward your 24-hour requirement, whether you have those certifications or not.

If you've been continuously licensed for at least 20 years, you can ask TDI for a CE exemption online through Sircon. (The same form handles extensions if illness, military service, or something beyond your control kept you from finishing your CE.) Go to the Sircon inquiry page, click "Services" in the menu on the left, and select "Texas CE Exemption or Extension Request." If you sell Medicare Advantage or Part D plans, you still need 4 hours of Medicare-related CE each renewal period after you're grandfathered.Open the Sircon inquiry page

Unfortunately, no. All webinars must be attended live to receive CE credit. We may be adding some self-study courses at some point that you can attend on demand.

Yes, if you have a general lines L&H or P&C license, you can take any of our courses and receive CE credit.

Unfortunately, no. We use GoToWebinar to run our webinars, but we do not control their technology and are not able to offer assistance. If you're clicking the link but it's not working, you may want to contact your IT department or try joining from a different device. If you don't have your join link, just click the link for the webinar to re-register.

Nothing — we have plenty of seats for our webinars, so your registration is not preventing anyone else from attending. We understand that schedules change, so if you cannot attend, no problem. Just sign up for another class that fits your schedule better.

I'm not (it's a bait and switch). When we started back in 2010, we actually tried to be funny, but then the ACA was signed into law and nobody was laughing. Since that time, we've just tried to make the webinars useful and not too boring. Hopefully you'll agree.
