What is the fee structure for MOC?
The ABR is a nonprofit organization and to sustain the mission of the Board, revenue has to balance expenses. The board has done analyses in the past for initial certification on a cost-per-candidate basis and has used a similar process for the MOC fees determination. The ABR has set a fee structure that prorates the cost based upon a formula that includes MOC enrollment, the cognitive exam, and the amount of CME and SAM required. Aggregate charges range from $1400 for the exam alone (diplomates with certificates expiring in 2005 or 2006) to $2600 (diplomates with certificates expiring in 2014) to $2800 (diplomates enrolling in MOC after 2004).
