About Washoe County Medical Society

Washoe County Medical Society (WCMS) is a nonprofit professional corporation based in Reno, Nevada, that serves physicians and other medical professionals in the Washoe County region. The organization focuses on physician advocacy, continuing medical education, networking, and initiatives to improve public health and healthcare delivery in the community. It operates as a membership-based association, coordinating events, educational programs, and outreach efforts for its members and the public.

A charge labeled something like “WCMS CORPORATION” may relate to membership dues, event or conference registration fees, sponsorships, donations, or other professional services provided by the society. In some back-office or merchant-acquirer systems, the legal or corporate name may be shortened or appear as an internal label such as “WCMS corporation” instead of the full association name, which can be confusing when it appears on a card statement.

To verify a charge, a cardholder should first check recent emails or mailed invoices from Washoe County Medical Society, especially around the time of annual dues renewals, CME events, or sponsored activities. Members can log into their account on the WCMS website to review billing history and invoices. If the charge is still unclear, contacting WCMS directly via the phone number or contact form listed on their official site is the best next step; providing the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card will help staff locate the payment and explain what it covers. If the cardholder is not a physician or affiliated with WCMS and cannot trace the charge, they should contact their card issuer to dispute or block further unauthorized transactions.

**Important note on uncertainty:** There are multiple entities that use the acronym “WCMS,” and there is no definitive public evidence tying the generic descriptor “wcms corporation” to a specific one. This answer reflects the most plausible match to a nonprofit professional corporation using the WCMS acronym, but it may not be correct for every instance of this descriptor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by “WCMS CORPORATION” on my card statement?

This type of charge is often associated with membership dues, event fees, or other professional services billed by Washoe County Medical Society (WCMS). If you are a physician or work in healthcare in the Reno/Washoe County area, review your recent WCMS membership renewal or event registrations to see if the amount matches.

I’m not a physician—could this WCMS CORPORATION charge still be legitimate?

If you are not a physician or affiliated with the medical community in Washoe County and have never interacted with Washoe County Medical Society, the charge may be an error or fraud. In that case, contact your card issuer immediately to report the transaction and request a replacement card if necessary.

How can I confirm what my WCMS payment was for?

Log into your Washoe County Medical Society account (if you have one) and check your billing or invoices section for recent payments. Match the date and amount of the invoice to your card statement. If you still have questions, call the WCMS office or use the contact form on mywcms.org and provide your name, the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card used.

Does Washoe County Medical Society process recurring or automatic charges?

Yes, annual membership dues and certain ongoing participation fees may be set up as recurring payments, depending on how your membership was configured. These may appear annually around the same date with a similar amount and a descriptor like “WCMS CORPORATION” or “Washoe County Medical Society.”

Can I cancel or change my WCMS membership to stop future charges?

To cancel, downgrade, or change your membership, you must contact Washoe County Medical Society directly, typically via phone or email, or through your member portal if available. Because WCMS is a professional society, cancellations may only take effect at the end of a membership year and some fees may be non-refundable; check the society’s membership terms or ask staff for details.

How do I request a refund for a WCMS charge I don’t recognize or for an event I cannot attend?

Contact WCMS as soon as possible with your invoice number or transaction details. For event registrations, refund policies may depend on how close to the event date you cancel. For disputed or mistaken payments, WCMS staff can confirm whether a refund or credit is possible; if they cannot locate the transaction or you suspect fraud, your bank or card issuer should handle a dispute.

Why do I see multiple WCMS CORPORATION charges in a short period?

Multiple charges could indicate separate items—such as membership dues plus a special event or donation—or an initial authorization followed by a captured charge. Review your WCMS invoices and email confirmations; if you see only one expected payment but multiple card charges, contact WCMS and your card issuer to investigate duplicate or erroneous billing.

What information should I have ready when contacting WCMS about a billing question?

Have your full name, professional affiliation, the last four digits of the card used, the exact date and amount of the charge, and any invoice or confirmation numbers you received by email. Providing this information will help WCMS staff quickly locate your transaction and explain or correct the charge if needed.
