Additional Information Regarding Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Costs for airline, hotel, meal, and other travel related costs associated with an on-site visit will be borne by the program<\/strong>. CAHIIM will pay for the rental car only.  Cost per program varies depending on the location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Annual Accreditation Fees:

    a) Annual accreditation invoices are sent at the beginning of November. If early notification is required to facilitate processing of a purchase order, please contact CAHIIM at accounting@cahiim.org to obtain an invoice. Programs undergoing a Comprehensive Program Review must continue to pay the Annual Accreditation Fee in the same year.

    b) The annual accreditation fee will be discounted for colleges and universities that have two or more accredited degree programs at the same location. The total discount to be applied is $500 for institutions with two accredited degree programs and $1,000 for institutions with three accredited degree programs.<\/em>

    c) No refunds will be given for annual accreditation fees collected from programs requesting voluntary withdrawal of accreditation.<\/em>

    Number of Programs<\/strong>
    Discounted annual fee per program<\/strong>
    Two degree programs (e.g., associate and baccalaureate)
    $3,550
    Three degree programs (e.g., associate, baccalaureate, master\u2019s)
    $3,467
    <\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The fee includes the Process Conference registration for one participant. The payment is non-refundable and cannot be applied to another cycle in the event a substantive change occurs that necessitates moving to another cycle.<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Extension of a comprehensive program review after the program acceptance and review process has begun will result in this additional fee. The program must be able to resume the review within one year.<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Prior approval from CAHIIM is required for substantive changes.<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Must be considered part of an existing accredited program at the baccalaureate and master\u2019s level only.<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Programs are placed on this status for non-compliance of administrative requirements for maintaining accreditation including non-payment of fees and failure to meet reporting deadlines <\/em> <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    All fees are non-refundable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
