Cancellation Policy


You may cancel your application for any reason and receive a full refund if notification is sent no later than March 18, 2011, in writing, to the HQ address listed below. Your written notification should require signature confirmation of receipt. Email, telephone, or fax notification is not sufficient for this process.

Additionally, if you have already made reservations at a Pearson VUE Test Center to site for the exam, you must also cancel that reservation directly with Pearson VUE. Canceling your application with ABPh but failing to cancel a Pearson VUE reservation will result in a $250 administrative fee.

Cancellations made after March 18, 2011, including failure to appear for the exam, will result in a $500 fee, and the balance of the Exam Fee will be refunded. Applicants may petition the Board for a cancellation fee waiver if there are special circumstances.

Please retain all documentation of your cancellation, including signature receipts, for possible future reference.
