The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is a U.S.-based professional organization for emergency medicine physicians, providing education, advocacy, and practice resources. It offers membership, conferences, continuing medical education, publications, and policy leadership for the specialty of emergency medicine.
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is a national professional society representing emergency medicine physicians and supporting the practice of emergency care. Founded in 1968, ACEP provides clinical and practice management resources, continuing medical education (CME), conferences, policy statements, and advocacy on issues affecting emergency departments and their patients. The organization publishes journals and news platforms, runs specialty conferences and leadership programs, and supports state chapters and sections focused on specific interests within emergency medicine.([texacep.org](https://www.texacep.org/about1?utm_source=openai))
A charge from “ACEP” on a card statement is typically related to professional membership dues, registration fees for an ACEP conference or course, purchases from the ACEP Store, or other educational programs and services billed through ACEP’s national office. Billing may also appear for leadership and advocacy conferences, specialty master classes, or other ACEP-sponsored events where registration is handled centrally, and refunds are processed back to the original payment method per ACEP’s formal cancellation policies.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/lac/general-info/registration-fees?utm_source=openai))
If you have questions about an ACEP charge, the best approach is to log into your ACEP online account and review your membership status, order history, and event registrations. You can also search your email for receipts or registration confirmations from acep.org. For further assistance, ACEP provides dedicated contacts for membership billing and meeting registration; you can reach Member Care or the meeting registrar using the published phone numbers and emails on ACEP’s contact page, and they can confirm what the payment covered, provide invoices, or help with cancellations and refunds in line with their posted refund policies.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/who-we-are/about-us/about-us/contact/how-to-contact-acep?utm_source=openai))

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to American College of Emergency Physicians.
What types of charges from ACEP typically appear on my credit card statement?
Charges from the American College of Emergency Physicians most commonly relate to annual membership dues, registration fees for ACEP conferences or courses (such as the Leadership and Advocacy Conference or other CME events), or purchases from the ACEP Store. If you recently renewed your membership, registered for a meeting, or purchased educational materials through acep.org, that transaction is likely the source of the ACEP charge.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/lac/general-info/registration-fees?utm_source=openai))
Does ACEP automatically renew membership dues on my card?
Depending on the options you selected when joining or renewing, ACEP may process membership dues as a recurring annual charge to the card you have on file. To confirm whether your dues are set to auto-renew, log into your ACEP account on acep.org, check your membership or billing settings, and update or remove stored payment methods if you wish to disable future automatic charges.([texacep.org](https://www.texacep.org/about1?utm_source=openai))
How can I confirm which ACEP event or product a specific charge corresponds to?
Sign in to your ACEP online account and review your order history, conference registrations, and membership invoices. Each registration or purchase will list the amount paid and payment method. You can also search your email for confirmations from ACEP (for example, conference registration confirmations or dues invoices). If you still cannot identify the charge, contact ACEP Member Care or the meeting registrar using the phone numbers or emails on the ACEP contact page and provide the date and amount of the transaction so they can look it up.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/who-we-are/about-us/about-us/contact/how-to-contact-acep?utm_source=openai))
What is ACEP’s refund policy if I cancel a conference registration?
ACEP’s major conferences generally allow full or partial refunds if you cancel at least 30 days before the beginning of the meeting, minus a stated administrative or cancellation fee (for example, a $75 fee for some conferences or $200 for certain master classes). Requests usually must be submitted in writing to the meeting registrar’s email address, and refunds are issued back to the original form of payment. After the published deadline, registrations are typically nonrefundable except for documented emergencies. Always check the specific event’s registration page for exact terms.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/lac/general-info/registration-fees?utm_source=openai))
How do I cancel my ACEP membership or stop future dues charges?
To cancel or change your ACEP membership, contact ACEP Member Care using the phone, text, or email information on acep.org. You can request that your membership not be renewed at the next cycle and verify that any automatic billing on your stored credit card will be stopped. It’s helpful to make this request well before your renewal date so that new dues are not charged.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/who-we-are/about-us/about-us/contact/how-to-contact-acep?utm_source=openai))
What should I do if I believe an ACEP charge is incorrect or duplicated?
First, compare the charge amount and date with your ACEP invoices, membership renewals, and conference registrations visible in your online account or confirmation emails. If you suspect an error or duplicate billing, contact ACEP’s Member Care or meeting registrar directly with your card’s last four digits, the charge date, and the exact amount. They can verify whether multiple transactions were processed and, if appropriate, arrange a correction or refund according to ACEP’s financial and refund policies.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/who-we-are/about-us/about-us/contact/how-to-contact-acep?utm_source=openai))
Can ACEP place small temporary or pending charges on my card?
Like many membership and conference organizations, ACEP may run card authorizations when you submit payment information, which can appear as pending transactions on your statement. These holds are typically replaced by the final posted charge for dues or registration, or they may disappear if the authorization was not completed. If a pending ACEP charge does not resolve within several business days, contact ACEP Member Care or your card issuer for clarification.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/siteassets/uploads/uploaded-files/acep/about-us/about-acep/compend_jan05.pdf?utm_source=openai))
How can I contact ACEP about a billing or payment question?
For membership dues and general billing questions, you can reach ACEP Member Care by phone or text at the numbers listed on acep.org, or by emailing membership@acep.org. For conference registration and fee questions, contact the meeting registrar at the designated email address (such as meetingregistrar@acep.org) or via the general contact channels. Their national headquarters in Irving, Texas, also lists main phone numbers and mailing addresses if you need to correspond by mail.([acep.org](https://www.acep.org/who-we-are/about-us/about-us/contact/how-to-contact-acep?utm_source=openai))
