Password: If you purchased your membership online, you created your password at the time of purchase. Use “Forgot Password?” to reset if necessary.

Where can I find my membership number?

How do I update my contact information?

I get an error that states that my email address is already in use. Why is this happening?
Your email may be in our database for a number of reasons. You may have had a previous purchase interaction with HIMSS, such as a purchase from our bookstore or attendance at a HIMSS Global Health Conference, or we may have a prospect list containing your information. To get a password, please use the Forgot Password function. After you obtain a password, log in as a returning customer using your email address as username.

Why is my name not appearing in the online member directory?
To protect our members’ privacy, addresses listed as a “home” are not viewable in the directory regardless of address publish settings. To be viewable in the directory, you must create a work address. To do so, log into your Member Center profile and select the address option listed in the My Account drop-down menu.

I need more addresses than the member directory’s 200-record limit. Is there a printed version available?
We provide only 200 results as a deterrent to parties looking to create unauthorized mailing lists. Creating and using a mailing list of HIMSS members is prohibited. A print version is not available.

How do I set my HIMSS email subscription preferences?
To set your email subscription preferences, log into the Member Center and select Subscription Preferences from the drop-down menu.

My company is a HIMSS Corporate Member. Where can I get my membership number and login information?
Corporate Membership falls under four categories: Diamond, Emerald, Platinum and Gold. You must be on your company’s individual membership list in order to obtain a login ID and password. Email corporatememberinfo@himss.org to request assistance from the Corporate Relations team.

What do I need to provide to show proof of a name change?
No proof is needed if you are looking to update your HIMSS membership account. If you are in the process of getting a HIMSS certification, please email a photocopy of a government issued ID to Membersupport@himss.org.

How do I qualify to join as a student member?
HIMSS student memberships are for individuals engaged in formal full-time study looking to become active in the fields of healthcare information and management systems. Student members receive the same benefits as regular members except the right to vote or hold elective office. You may sign up for student membership at any time online or with application through regular mail. If signing up online, you will be required to answer questions regarding your student status. If you are registering via paper application, you must submit evidence of your student status. Examples of student membership evidence include but are not limited to current class roster, letter from your department chair, or transcripts (unofficial is acceptable). All evidence must include your expected graduation date.

I was a student member, recently graduated, and would like to upgrade my membership. How can I do that?
You can upgrade your membership at any time by logging into the Member Center. Once logged in, select the Renew link to the Student Member Demographics screen. From there, select the Cancel button on this screen and then select a new membership type. We recommend you wait until the end of your current student membership before upgrading.

How can I get my receipt for membership dues?

What discounts do I qualify for as a HIMSS individual member?
As a HIMSS individual member, you qualify for numerous discounts. For example, you receive a discounted rate for all HIMSS events. If you register with early-bird pricing, you can save up to 40% on the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition. You also receive an average of 20% off HIMSS books and resources.

How do I cancel my individual membership with HIMSS?

Why haven’t I received any communication from my chapter recently?
