Grace Period on Member Benefits

Thank you for your work on the frontline in these challenging times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the AAP National and Chapters are advocating at every level of government to support our members in key areas such as telehealth and access to personal protective equipment. We are also working closely with the CDC to provide needed clinical guidance to our members so you can do the critical work needed for children, their families, and our communities.

While your membership is important to support these activities, we recognize that for some of you, this pandemic has caused a financial hardship as well. To support you during this difficult period, we will be extending a grace period of up to 60 days on key digital member benefits if you are unable to pay your dues on time. This grace period is for members with anniversary dates through January 31, 2021 and information on specific benefits can be found below. If your anniversary date is after January 31st and you are still experiencing financial hardship that might impact your ability to pay dues, please consider enrolling in our new monthly installment payment option. This option is available to AAP Fellows, Specialty Fellows, Candidates, and Senior Members. You can enroll in installments during the online renewal process or by calling 800/433-9016.
