- None for CME. You renew online in eBiz (ebiz.mt.gov/pol) and answer the renewal questions (discipline, impairment, privileges). Prescribers pay the Montana Prescription Drug Registry fee with renewal and must be registered with the MPDR (MCA 37-7-1503, 37-7-1511); that is a registration, not CME.
