In response to declining interest in participation over the past two years, the ABA will be sunsetting ABA PrePay effective October 2025

Offloading this program allows us to put efforts into the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan and developing additional continuing certification resources for board-certified anesthesiologists.

My institution was prepaying my MOCA registration fee. What do I do now?

MOCA registration opens in January of each year and is required for all diplomates beginning the January following their certification.

Diplomates are eligible to register for MOCA each year if they have:

  • Have an active certification in anesthesiology and/or a subspecialty
  • Paid the annual program fee

Visit our MOCA eligibility webpage to learn more about how to register for MOCA in ABA GO.

Value of Board Certification

Board certification reflects a physician’s commitment to excellence, safety and lifelong learning. It assures patients and peers that you are meeting rigorous standards and staying current in your specialty while delivering trusted, high-quality care.
