When does renewal take effect?
Renewals update your membership status and help maintain access to eligible member benefits. Membership is renewed annually and remains active for one year from the renewal date. Members have a 90-day grace period after their renewal due date to complete the renewal process. If the membership is not renewed within the grace period, certifications may be revoked, and the member will lose access to AAPC benefits.
Membership renewal includes a 90-day grace period. During this time, credential visibility, fees, and certification status may be affected depending on how long the membership remains expired. If renewal is not completed before the grace period ends, additional reinstatement requirements may apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I experience an error during renewal?
If you encounter an error, ensure you are renewing for the correct amount ($222). Contact an admin to create a quote for the correct renewal fee if needed.
Can I renew for less than a year?
No, AAPC only offers annual renewal options.
How long does corporate membership renewal take?
Corporate renewals may take a few days to process. Members have a 90-day grace period after the membership end date to avoid losing benefits.
If I renew early, will I lose time?
No. Renewing early does not normally shorten an existing membership period.
Does membership renewal also renew my certifications?
Certification maintenance may still require CEUs and other certification-specific requirements.
Renewing your membership is essential to keeping your credential active, as the two processes are interconnected.
