Certification Test Policy

No Show, Late Arrival and Rescheduling

The exam cancellation/change deadline for any electronic exam that has been scheduled is as follows:

• No additional fees are assessed if notification of change or cancellation is made 5 days prior to the scheduled date before noon ET. If changes are made within 5 days, you will be assessed a $95 rescheduling fee. If you cancel within 5 days you will be assessed the full testing fee.
• Changes/cancellations must be made and confirmed through the Kryterion Registration website.
• Once the test-taker has registered and is scheduled for an appointent at a Kryterion test site, s/he cannot transfer his or her appointment to another Kryterion test site that is not served by the same regional center.

Test-takers will be charged the entire certification exam fee in the event that they negligently "no show" for the certification exam.

Refunds

Once you schedule your test date it will be important that you take the test on your scheduled date. Refunds are only issued if HL7 receives notice of cancellation 5 days before noon of the testing day. You will forfeit your exam fee and it will not qualify to be applied to a rescheduled test if you miss your scheduled appointment without following the rescheduling procedures outlined above.

Payments

If we are unable to process your application, a portion of the application fee less a $50 administrative fee will be returned to you. However, once your application is accepted, the fee is nonrefundable.
