(next page for info on how to pay the Annual MOC Fee) Quick Reference Guide How to Make your Annual MOC Payment Online STEP 1: Login to the ABVLM website (see earlier pages for instructions) and click on the Pay Annual MOC Fee option. STEP 2: Complete the Credit Card info on the secure payment screen. Press PAY NOW. STEP 3: You will be provided a Payment Receipt Screen which you can print for your records. FAQ’s Q: What if I can’t remember if I paid the fees for this year? A: The system will only accept one payment per year. If you have already paid online, then you will get a message saying “Your annual dues are currently up-‐to-‐date.” Q: Can I pay via check instead of online? A: Online payments are the preferred method as it is automated and tracks payments. However, if you can only make payments by check, you can remit a check for $175 to the ABVLM HQ Office, and we can manually update your records with your payment. Q: What if I don’t pay the annual fee? Are there consequences? A: The Maintenance of Certification is a program in virtually all certification bodies. This fee covers the cost of reviewing your CME and SAM credit submissions for MOC, updating your demographic records, providing a physician look up for the public, and responding to verification requests from hospitals and others. The fee is part of the ongoing certification, and non-‐payment can lead to the revocation of your certification per the policies of the Board.
