Annual Fee
The annual fee for participation in continuing certification is $500, regardless of the number of specialties in which one is certified. Any outstanding fees from previous years must be paid at the $500 rate, plus late fees if applicable. Remittance of the annual fee must be made by midnight (ET) on December 31st each year. After January 1st a late fee ($100) will be assessed. Beginning January 2027, diplomates who are not caught up on payment of annual fees will lose access to CertLink until such time as all outstanding fees have been remitted.
Payment can be made electronically in the Portal (via credit card or ACH), or by mailing a check to ABMGG at 6120 Executive Blvd., Suite 525, Rockville, MD, 20852.
*EXCEPTION: Newly certified ABMGG diplomates who are training full-time in a second medical specialty or subspecialty may be eligible for a waiver or credit for certain continuing certification activities including a waiver for the first year of annual fees. Learn more.
Voluntary Dues
Diplomates with Non-Time Limited Certificates (certified before 1993) are not required to participate in Continuing Certification. However, we ask that our Non-Time Limited Certificate holders consider contributing voluntary dues of any amount to support our efforts.
These dues help to support activities such as the ABMGG Portal, certifying examinations, and the CertLink Longitudinal Assessment. You can use the secure payment link below or mail a check to ABMGG at 6120 Executive Blvd., Suite 525, Rockville, MD, 20852.
