How do I keep my subscription current?

If you subscribed as an individual user, your subscription is automatically renewed. Paypal™ will collect your payment at the beginning of the next period. If there are insufficient funds, Paypal™ will notify you.

If your subscription is part of a group (hospital or institution), please contact your supervisor to renew. If you would like to switch to an individual account, you can purchase a new subscription on the Subscribe page. *

How do I cancel my subscription?

If you subscribe as an individual user and paid with a Paypal account, you can cancel your account by logging into your Paypal account and canceling it from there. If you did not pay with a Paypal account, please contact Customer Service via the support form to cancel your subscription. (There may be a delay between contacting customer service to cancel your subscription and the actual cancellation. However, cancellation requests will be honored based on the time the request is received in our system). Your account will still be active until the end of the current subscription period. *

*NOTE: Once your subscription ends, the case data you have accumulated may be removed. If you are switching your subscription from an individual to group subscription or vice versa, please contact us via the Support page so we can transfer your case data to your new account.

Can I use SimCode ACLS™ for my institution's ACLS requirements?

SimCode ACLS™ was designed to prepare people for real-life code situations. It was designed to be used on a regular basis so that users will be continuously competent. We feel that it is one of the best methods to maintain ACLS competency. However, you will need to check with your supervisor to see what your institution accepts for their ACLS requirements.
