Rush fees

You can request a rush at the time of application submission on the Final Submission page. If you have already paid for your application and would like to request a rush, please email us at cmecredit@aafp.org.

The Credit System reserves the right to determine whether the application qualifies for the rush option. A request for a rush may be denied if the reviewer has determined that additional information is required in order to finalize the review. The AAFP reserves the right to deny a rush request for any reason at any time.

Rush review fees are in addition to the regular review fee. Please note rush turnaround times are pending customer responsiveness.
