Sign in to your diplomate profile to pay the 2022 C-cert administrative fee. Pay by the early payment deadline of June 17th and save $25 with a discounted fee of $150. After the early deadline, the C-cert administrative fee reverts to the regular $175 annual fee. All fees are per subspecialty.
Once signed in, look for the "Pay Now" icon on the left side of your profile page. A receipt for payment will be available as a PDF download in the "History" section of your profile. Any outstanding 2021 fees are included with the 2022 online invoice for easy payment.
Diplomates who passed the 2018 final recertification examination for their subspecialty have their C-cert fee waived one last time in 2022. They are still required to complete the 2022 C-cert reading and pass the C-cert quiz to meet the annual C-cert requirements. All other diplomates, with the exception of certification examination committee members who were involved in the subspecialty's C-cert activity development, are required to pay the annual C-cert fee and complete all C-cert activities to maintain a certification status of "meeting requirements."
The 2022 C-cert quizzes will be available in early May and notification will be sent to diplomates via Diplomate Update email once they are available. Payment of the annual C-cert administrative fee is required to gain access to C-cert quizzes to meet annual C-cert requirements.
