Methods of Payment 

If you apply for an exam or request a service on-line, you can pay on-line at the time of application/request by: 



Credit card – Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.  



Electronic check – To use this option, you must have a checking account at a U.S. bank and either a U.S. 

Social Security Number or U.S. driver’s license.  

You can also pay in advance using one of the payment methods described above by accessing 

OASIS

 on the 


ECFMG website. You can also send payment in advance to ECFMG using 

Payment for Service(s) Requested 

(Form 900)

, available in the Resources section of the ECFMG website. If you submit payment using Form 900, 

you can pay by: 



Credit card – Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.  



Check, bank draft, or money order made payable to the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical 

Graduates (or ECFMG). All payments must be made in U.S. funds through a U.S. bank. You must write 

your full name and USMLE/ECFMG Identification Number, if one has been assigned to you, on your 

payment.  

If you pay in advance, you should verify that the payment has been received and credited to your ECFMG 

financial account before you begin the application or request process. You can verify the status of your ECFMG 

financial account on-line using 

OASIS



Important Note: If you need to make multiple credit card transactions to pay for an exam or service, 



you must make these payments to your ECFMG financial account in advance using OASIS or by

Refunds 

If you have money in your ECFMG financial account, you may request a refund. Refund requests must be made in 

writing. Use the mailing address for General Inquiries on the 

Contact ECFMG

 page of the ECFMG website. If the 

money in your account was a payment for an exam application that was rejected (because you were not eligible or 

the application was incomplete or otherwise deficient), your refund will be subject to a $100 processing fee. 

Important Note: You should consider carefully the timing of your exam application, eligibility period, 

and test date. Once registered, you cannot cancel or postpone your registration. If you do not schedule 

and take the exam, you will not receive a refund or credit of your exam fee(s), and you will be required 

to reapply, including payment of all applicable fees, to take the exam. 

Although you cannot cancel or postpone your registration, there are options that provide registered 

applicants with flexibility. All registered applicants may change their scheduled test date and/or center, 

subject to availability. See 

Rescheduling

 in Scheduling the Examination. Applicants registered for 

Step 1/Step 2 CK may request extension of their eligibility periods. See 

Eligibility Period Extension

 in 


Applying for Examination. Applicants registered for Step 2 CS who are unable to obtain the appropriate 

visa to enter the United States to take the exam may request a full refund of the exam fee. Other 

requests for exceptions from Step 2 CS applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis. ECFMG 

will consider requests for exceptions only after the applicant’s eligibility period has expired.

 | Forfeiture of Funds  

Forfeiture of Funds 

Effective July 1, 2010, funds in an applicant’s ECFMG financial account will be available for a period of two years 

to pay for exams/requested services. Any funds not used during a two-year period will be forfeited to ECFMG; this 

means that the applicant will lose those funds. The two-year period is calculated from the date that funds are 

received at ECFMG. For funds already in an applicant’s account on the July 1, 2010 effective date, the two-year 

period is calculated from this effective date. If an applicant has funds in his/her account and applies for an 

exam/requests a service, ECFMG will use the funds with the earliest receipt date to pay for the exam/requested 

service. 

Examples: An applicant made a payment of $295 to his ECFMG financial account on July 2, 2010. He 

made another payment of $2,000 on July 10, 2010. On July 28, 2010, he submitted an application for 

USMLE Step 2 CS, which cost $1,295. The $295 from his earlier payment and $1,000 from his later 

payment were used to pay for this exam registration. The applicant now has until July 9, 2012 to either 

use the remaining $1,000 balance or request a refund. If he does not, these funds will be forfeited to 

ECFMG.  


An applicant had a balance of $1,700 in her ECFMG financial account when this policy took effect on 

July 1, 2010. On August 15, 2010, the applicant submitted an application for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 

CK, which cost a total of $1,480. The applicant has until June 30, 2012 to either use the remaining 

$220 balance or request a refund. If she does not, these funds will be forfeited to ECFMG. 

It is your responsibility to monitor the status of your ECFMG financial account. You can check the status of your 

account, including dates on which payments were made to your account, using 

OASIS

. A refund request should 



be made to claim any funds that will not be used prior to the expiration of the two-year period.
