Join or Renew Your Membership

Streamline your dues renewal and simplify your live with auto-renewal. Members can now pay dues with a safe and convenient auto-renewal option to maintain membership. The auto-renewal plan allows your dues to be automatically renew and charged to your credit card annually.

The auto renew plan will give the option of being a once-per-year payment plan that the MDA will process continuously from year to year until a member asks the auto renew/payment to stop. Members are allowed to update/change their credit card, recognizing it will expire at some point, or if they wish to change to a different card for future charges. However, to cancel any automated credit card charge, members will need to contact the MDA Office.

Related to voluntary contributions, the auto renew will continue to include the previous year’s amounts given (e.g., if you give $50 to MDPAC in one year, the auto renew option would continue to charge that same voluntary contribution in subsequent years). If a member wants to change a voluntary contribution for any subsequent membership year, they must contact the MDA to ask for the change in amount.

To choose the Auto Renew Payment Option, please look for it on your 2022 dues statement on-line and/or on your paper invoice to take advantage of this time saving feature. If you have any questions or would like more information please contact the MDA Office at 601-664-9691.

Auto Renew Payment Program

By signing up for the Dues Auto-Renew Payment Program, you agree to the verbiage below:

Electronic Dues Payment Program Authorization Agreement
I authorize the Mississippi Dental Association, “MDA” to initiate automated debits to the credit card shown below. This authorization includes all adjusting entries, either debit or credit, that may be required.

I agree to pay all such Dues amounts owed and designed by me. If, for any reason, my credit card is revoked, suspended, halted by me or the credit card cannot be processed for any other reason, I remain responsible for paying the Dues owed directly to Mississippi Dental Association on a timely basis. If a credit card payment debit cannot be processed, Mississippi Dental Association is authorized to attempt to initiate the debit again at a later time. If, for any reason, a debit is repeatedly dishonored. Mississippi Dental Association is not liable for any losses incurred by reason of any failure in the automated debit process. I am responsible for any fees that may be imposed by my credit card issuer. My membership shall not be considered in good standing until all past Dues amounts owed are considered current.

I may terminate automated credit card debits by notifying Mississippi Dental Association by calling 601-664-9691 and the termination will be effective seven business days after the date the notice is received by Mississippi Dental Association.

No refunds will be provided for canceled memberships. By enrolling in a membership, I understand that a “membership year” spans a calendar year from January through December and not a twelve-month period from the date of enrollment. This authorization shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Mississippi, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction to the rights and duties of the parties.
