There are no limits to the number of credits an accredited CME provider can designate and/or award to physician participants for a live activity or enduring material as long as these are based on real time or a legitimate estimate of the time to complete the activity. However, there are limitations for certain types (PDF, 200KB) of other activities. For example, a physician may receive a maximum of twenty (20) credits for completing a Performance Improvement activity and a maximum of one-half (0.5) credit for completing an Internet Point of Care activity. (PRA booklet pages 11-12) There are additional credit limits associated with the types and amount of credit a physician can claim for the Physician’s Recognition Award.
