2026 ABA Fee Adjustment

The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) is making an adjustment to MOCA program and examination fees, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

Since 2012, the ABA MOCA program fee has remained unchanged. Examination fees have remained stable since 2020. Significant inflation has necessitated a fee adjustment to ensure we continue delivering the high-quality assessments and service you expect from the ABA. See the list of 2026 fee adjustments below.

These can also be found on the Continue Certification page and various exam pages on our website.
