Looking for information on EPIC fees and payment? See Fees on the EPIC website.
If you submit an application 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 this 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 application/request, you must make these payments to your ECFMG financial account in advance using OASIS or by submitting multiple copies of Form 900.
Do not send payments in cash.
