Non-Compliance.
Registration of CME credit is an ongoing part of the certification process. Failure to comply may result in loss of NCCAA certification. Any practitioner may have their CME submissions audited at any time. Should an audit occur, compliance with the audit process is mandatory for continued certification. It is recommended that CAAs keep original records of CME credit earned in the event of an audit.
The CAA who fails to properly register CMEs and pay the CME registration fee by the June 1st deadline will be considered as having their certification expired by the NCCAA. They will be notified immediately following the June 1st deadline that they:
- Have an expired certification.
- Are subject to a $600 administrative fee for late CME registration.
- Have until August 31st to bring CME registration, including payment of all applicable fees up to date.
- The practitioner who takes the CDQ Examination and fails to register CMEs and/or pay the CME registration fee, in the CDQ year, by the June 1 st deadline will be considered as having their certification expired by NCCAA and will be notified immediately following the June 1st deadline.
- The practitioner who fails to properly register CME and pay the CME registration and administrative late fee shall be officially decertified on September 1st by the NCCAA and all NCCAA verification of certification data will reflect the decertification.
