Fee Overview
PHAB instituted a fee structure to manage and maintain the national accreditation process. Applicant fees are necessary for PHAB to provide quality services to both applicants for accreditation and accredited health departments. Public health department accreditation is not a “one-time” event; it is an ongoing commitment to continuous quality improvement.
PHAB has listened to feedback from health departments and public health partners and adjusted our internal processes and fees to respond to the needs of the field with the new Version 2022 Fee Structure.
Version 2022 Fee Schedule
Effective July 1, 2022 for Initial Accreditation
PHAB fees for Version 2022 have been simplified and reduced. PHAB eliminated the one-time initial accreditation and reaccreditation fee and introduced a significantly smaller Readiness & Training fee to help health departments assess their accreditation readiness before the application for initial accreditation.
All reaccreditation applicants will use the Version 2022 fee structure.

Version 1.5 Fee Schedule
Effective until June 30, 2022 for Initial Accreditation
Health departments that applied before July 1, 2022 will use the Version 1.5 fee schedule.
All reaccreditation applicants will use the Version 2022 fee structure.

The Fee Schedule published in the first quarter of each year is good for the period July 1st of that year through June 30th the following year. Fees are subject to review for potential annual expense adjustments to take effect on July 1st of each year. Any changes to the fee amount will be announced quarter one of that same year.
