  • Submission of long-term EEG recordings (no ECI or ambulatory recordings), as specified in the accreditation renewal notification that was emailed to your facility's point of contact (see section V for details). EEG recording data and documentation should be de-identified according to institutional policy, and all sensitive materials be encrypted and/or password protected.
  • Submission of a reaccreditation fee payable to ABRET. Most major credit cards are accepted. 
  •      NOTE: If mailing the fee by check, please ensure that “LAB-LTM” and invoice number are included. Mail to ABRET LAB-LTM, 111 E. University Drive, Ste. 105–355, Denton, TX 76209.
