Q.Why is there an additional charge for $100 from the Urology Care Foundation listed on my invoice?
A.Urologic research is an important part of advancing all facets of urologic patient care. To make it easy for our members to support this important cause, an optional $100 donation has been added to the dues renewal invoice. The Urology Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and its IRS EIN number is 20-3210212. All donations to the Urology Care Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. If you are paying your dues online, you may adjust or delete the amount on the donation line item before submitting your payment. If you are mailing or faxing your dues invoice, you may make adjustments by hand and calculate a new total on the invoice.
Q.Can I sign up for automatic payment of my membership dues?
A.Yes, the Automatic Dues Renewal Program allows the AUA to keep a record of your credit card information and charge the applicable membership fees to that credit card each year on or around the renewal date of your membership. This service is a benefit to you so that you may easily retain your membership status yearly by automatically paying, and avoiding the hassle of waiting for an invoice to make a payment. Please note that we will contact you each year before charging your card for verification purposes. You can enroll in the Automatic Dues Renewal Program online or by contacting the AUA Member Services Department at 410-689-3933 or membership@AUAnet.org.
Q.When will I receive my invoice?
A.You will receive two hard copy invoices in the mail; the first one will arrive in late October. In addition, you will also receive several reminder emails.

Q.Can I deduct The Journal of Urology® or any of the allocations from my dues payment?
A.No, the dues amount billed is a fixed amount in accordance with your membership category, and thus has to be paid in full to retain your membership. However Research Scientist, Affiliate, Advanced Practice Provider and Allied members may deduct the cost of their Journal of Urology® subscription because it is an optional purchase. However, their dues are still $170 dollars annually.
Q.Are my AUA Section dues included with my AUA dues payment?

Q.Do I qualify for a dues reduction or exemption?
A.Review the requirements for a dues reduction or exemption to see if you qualify.
Q.I have been paying dues as a Resident/Fellow or Fast Track Associate member. Why have they recently been increased to $479?
