We are pleased to announce a new payment option for NASN and unified affiliate membership dues. School nurses will continue to have the option to pay full annual dues by credit card, check or PO. School nurses will now have the additional option of four installments charged to their credit card.
The installment option is available exclusively for new and renewal members who are using a credit card for payment. Membership dues for NASN and the unified affiliates can be automatically debited in four quarterly installments. The first payment is processed upon receipt of the application. Subsequent payments are charged every three months to the credit card. The member’s anniversary date is adjusted in increments of three months and is extended with each payment. There is a processing fee associated with the installment option. The cost is $5.00, $1.25 each quarter. This amount is 5% of NASN dues. In the event that payment is unsuccessful (due to an expired credit card), we will mark the membership as lapsed and contact the lapsed member by phone and mail. The member will not be eligible for benefits until the payment is made.
The Member in Good Standing (MIGs) report will change to reflect this new option. We have added a column entitled Frequency. This column will distinguish between members that are paying annually versus members paying in installments.
The monthly cycle that is currently in place for remitting dues to the affiliates will not change. For members on the installment plan, the dues will be remitted as they are paid, in one-fourth increments. This will impact affiliate cash flow, as remits will now include a mix of annual and quarterly dues. However, we are confident that this new feature will support membership growth and appeal to the member’s needs.
