How Long Do I have to Claim Earned CME Credits? Do they renew?

You must have an active Subscription to claim CME credits for the work you have completed or to access CME certificates for previously claimed work. The information below applies only to active Subscribers.


Unclaimed Items

Unclaimed work completed within the last three (3) years will be available to claim. Unclaimed items over three years old will not be lost, but they will cease to display in your Unclaimed listing. Contact our CME department for special cases or needs.

Every topic-based CME credit can be claimed per type once per accreditation period.  

For example, if you complete a topic that provides AMA Category 1 and AAFP Prescribed credits, you can claim the AMA Category 1 credit once - and also claim the AAFP credit at another time that same year, once. 

Claimed Items

Claimed items will remain in your Med-Challenger account forever and are accessible for download as long as you have an active subscription.   

Accreditation Status

Med-Challenger maintains accreditation of all products through joint-sponsored accreditation with various leading universities and medical associations.

All accreditation dates are typically renewed on three-year cycles for uninterrupted claims servicing.

Changes to accreditation dates or CME credit type availability are subject to changes by official accrediting bodies.  Med-Challenger will inform customers of such changes should they occur.
