Prorated Membership

If an organization already has one to three AMA members, it may add new members to take advantage of the group discount. Since all members of a group must have the same expiration date, existing memberships are extended to correspond to the group expiration date, with the additional months prorated at the group rate. The organization is then invoiced accordingly.

Steps for calculating dues for groups with existing members:

1. Determine the group membership expiration date. Membership is for one year and expires on the last day of the month of expiration.
2. Determine the number of months the existing membership(s) will need to be extended.
3. Multiply that number by the appropriate monthly group rate.
   » 4–9 members — $17.33 ($208/12 months)
   » 10+ members — $15.33 ($184/12 months)
4. Add that prorated dues amount to the dues for each new group member.

AMA Customer Service is available to discuss prorated group memberships and assist with any questions or concerns. Contact us at info@ama.org or 800.AMA.1150.

Example:

Organization A has one existing member, Suzie Miller, whose membership expires on September 30, 2010. Three co-workers—John Jones, Sally Smith and Jim Clark—decide to join AMA. Their group membership is processed on November 12, 2009. The group expiration date then becomes November 30, 2010.

This chart illustrates the calculation of Organization A’s group membership dues.
