Refunds & Money-Back Policy

MDSteps is an instant-access digital platform; therefore all sales are generally final and refunds are not offered.


Limited 3-Day Review (Exceptions Only)

In rare cases we may grant a refund as a courtesy if all of the following are true:

  • Within 3 days of purchase, and
  • ≤ 40 QBank questions attempted, and
  • ≤ 1 CCS cases completed. (if Step 3)

Notes: This exception is intended for mistaken purchases or immediate technical issues. Requests outside these limits are unlikely to be approved.


How to Request a Refund (If Eligible)

  1. Open Dashboard → Support and submit a ticket (or email support@mdsteps.com).
  2. Include: order ID, purchase date, account email, and a brief reason.

Processing time: If approved, refunds are issued back to your original payment method within 30 days.


Alternatives to Refunds

  • Pause/Inactive between Steps: If you’re between USMLE Steps, your account can remain inactive (no charges) until you start a new Step and enroll again.
  • Plan adjustments: Contact Support if you need help choosing the right Step or term length.

At-a-Glance

• Default: All sales final (instant digital access)
• Exception window: ≤3 days AND ≤40 Qs AND ≤1 CCS cases (if Step 3)
• Request: Dashboard → Support (include order details)
• Approved refunds: 30 business days to original payment method
