People ask a fair question before they hand us anything: what exactly do we do for $99? It's a reasonable thing to want spelled out, so here's the whole process in plain language — what goes in, what comes out, and what we deliberately don't touch.
Short version: you tell us a few things about your license, we read your board's current rules, and we hand you a clear plan for what to earn and by when. No portals, no credit, no guesswork left on your side.
Step 1: A short intake
We start by collecting the handful of facts that determine your requirement: your profession, the state, your license type, and your renewal or reporting month. Sometimes a couple of follow-ups — whether you prescribe controlled substances, whether this is your first cycle, whether you hold other licenses. That's it. We don't need your board login or your CE Broker password, because we never access those systems. The intake is about you and your license, not your accounts.
Step 2: We read the current board rules
This is the part that takes real work, and it's the part most clinicians dread doing themselves. We pull your state board's current continuing-education requirements and translate them into specifics:
- The exact credit total and cycle length.
- The credit type your board accepts — AMA PRA Category 1, accredited contact hours, ACPE CEUs, whatever applies.
- Every mandated topic and its frequency — ethics, opioids, implicit bias, and the rest — including the tricky one-time versus recurring distinctions.
- Any format rules, like a live-credit minimum.
- Your real deadline, since the CME date and the expiration date aren't always the same.
Rules change — Colorado physicians owe CME starting in 2027, Oregon's nursing framework shifts in 2028 — so we read what's current, not what was true a few years ago. The same figures we build from are visible on our CME requirements index; the plan is us doing that reading and assembly for you.
Step 3: A mapped plan
You get back a plain checklist tied to your renewal: how many hours, of what type, covering which mandated topics, due by what date. Not a vague summary — a specific to-do list you can hand to any accredited provider and work through. If a one-time course already cleared in a past cycle still counts, we note it so you don't redo it. If you're newly licensed or reinstating after a lapse, the plan reflects those quirks.
What the $99 covers — and what it doesn't
The fee is a flat $99 per plan, per license renewal. One license renewing is one plan. Hold several? That's one plan each, billed as each comes due — no subscription, no per-course markup.
What it covers: the research, the translation, and the mapped plan. What it explicitly does not include, by design:
- We don't grant CME credit. We're a planning and advisory service, not an accredited provider. You earn the actual credit from accredited sources — we just tell you precisely which kind to get and how much.
- We don't access your board portal or CE Broker. Ever. Your accounts stay yours. We can't see or enter your hours, and we'd never ask for those credentials.
- We don't sell you the courses. No conflict of interest steering you toward a catalog. The plan is provider-neutral; you choose where to earn, using checks like verifying accreditation.
Why a plan, when the info is public?
Because reading board rules accurately is harder and more error-prone than it looks, and the cost of getting it wrong is real — a missed mandated topic, the wrong credit type, a deadline you miscounted. Those are exactly the mistakes that cost clinicians. We do the careful reading once so you don't risk it. After that, the earning and the tracking are simple because you know the target.
Hand us a license
If you'd rather spend your time earning CME than decoding your board's website, that's the trade we offer. Tell us your profession, state, license type, and renewal month, and we'll build the plan. Start with your license here, or look over the flat, per-license pricing first. Want to confirm the underlying figures yourself? They're all on the requirements index.
Need help figuring out your CME?
Stop guessing what CME you need. Tell us your license type, state, and renewal date, and we'll map exactly which continuing-education hours and mandated topics you need — and by when. Flat $99 per plan.
