Fees for Evaluation and Accreditation
Fees charged for the accreditation of programs are determined annually by the ACGME. As of January 1, 2005, the following fee schedule is in effect.
Application Fee
A fee is charged for processing applications for programs seeking initial accreditation. This also applies to programs seeking re-accreditation following any withdrawal status. The charge for applications is $4,000. It is normally billed at the time the application is received.
Program Fee
An annual accreditation fee is assessed on a per program basis for all accredited programs. This annual fee is $2,750 for programs with five or fewer residents and $3,500 for programs with more than five residents. This fee is billed around January 1 of each year and applies to the current academic year.
Cancelled Site Visit Fee
Programs requesting a scheduled site visit to be cancelled within 60 days of the visit are subject to a $2,750.00 charge at the discretion of the Vice President for Field Activities.
Appeal Fee
The fee for an appeal of an accreditation decision is $10,000. There is an additional cost for the expenses of the appeals panel members and associated administrative costs. This additional expense shall be shared equally by the appellant and the ACGME.
Palm Pilot Fee
There is an annual $ 25/resident fee for utilizing a palm pilot in tracking of case logs when using the ACGME Case Log System. This fee helps offset the annual licensing costs for needed software. This is an optional capability and not required for use of the Case Log System.
Annual Resident Fee and Site Visit Fee
These fees have been discontinued effective December 31,1999.
