Return Policy

It is the policy of the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) to return all monies that are not due to the practice. These may include overpayments from patients or third-party payers, as well as continuing education customers and affiliated organizations. All refunds are authorized by the billing manager (patients or third-party payers) or the Director of Regional Services (continuing education). MAHEC is committed to processing and issuing refunds in a timely manner. The organization is committed to complying with state and federal laws, as well as performing the sound business practice of returning money that represents overpayment for services provided.

Continuing Education Course Cancellation Policy

MAHEC has a pay-up-front policy for all CE programs. The only exceptions will be for pre-approved programs where an individual payment plan is appropriate. Registrations received without accompanying payment will not be processed and participants who have not paid the course fee will not be admitted into the program.

Cancellations received at least two weeks in advance of the program date will receive a full refund unless otherwise noted. Cancellations received between two weeks and up to 48 hours prior to the program date will receive a 70% refund unless otherwise noted. No refunds will be given for cancellations received less than 48 hours prior to the program date. All cancellations must be made in writing (fax, mail, or email). Substitutes can be accommodated in advance of the program.
