How to Get Reimbursed for CME (and Still Earn Rewards)

For NPs and PAs, continuing education is part of the job, but that doesn’t mean you should have to pay out of pocket.

Here’s how to make the most of your employer’s CME reimbursement and still enjoy the perks of earning rewards with Top Tier CME.

Understanding CME Reimbursement

Most employers provide annual CME allowances, usually between $500 and $2,000, for advanced practice providers.

This money can be used toward accredited CME courses, conference fees, or online education.

If you’re an NP or PA, that allowance is yours to use each year. Once you purchase a CME activity, you simply:

1. Pay for the course out of pocket or with a work credit card.

2. Submit your receipt to your employer (or HR department).

3. Receive reimbursement based on your allotted CME budget.

Where Top Tier CME Fits In

Top Tier CME makes it easy to turn that reimbursement into something even better.

When you purchase a CME bundle, you’ll not only earn CE credits, you’ll automatically receive a reward after each completed module.

Each time you finish a course, you’ll get a follow-up email with a Giftbit link that lets you choose from over 300 gift-card options. You can pick what you want — Amazon, Target, DoorDash, Starbucks, and more — and download your card instantly.

So even when your employer reimburses you, you still keep the rewards.

How It Works

1. Purchase once — buy the Summit Series.

2. Complete modules at your own pace.

3. After each module, you’ll automatically get an email with your reward link.

4. Submit your purchase receipt for employer reimbursement if you choose.

It’s that simple.

You get CE credits, reimbursement, and rewards — all from one platform built for busy APPs.
