“Why should I compromise on something that could save my life?”

Why Stefanie chooses MedicAlert:

Emergency responders look for the emblem.

There is only one MedicAlert.

We know medical identifications look similar. Rest assured, none can offer you the range of benefits that MedicAlert does. For your loved ones’ reassurance, as well as your own, insist on it.

Here’s how it works.

In a moment of crisis, paramedics, police and other emergency responders need to know your medical needs quickly. That information is critical when every second counts. As a subscriber to one of our service plans, you’ll have the certainty of knowing that your MedicAlert ID will speak for you when you can’t speak for yourself.

1. Choose your custom-engraved Medical ID and service plan

We offer a range of medical ID bracelets, necklaces, watches and many other medical ID accessories. Your identification is engraved using globally accepted medical standards that are critically relied upon by emergency responders. Most important of all, your ID will display the one word that can stand between life and death: MedicAlert.

Service plans start at only $5/month, and you can sign up for a 12-, 24- or 36-month service plan. Your plan entitles you to benefits such as the 24/7 Emergency Hotline, which relays your key medical information to emergency responders within an average of five seconds of a call.

3. Your voice in an emergency

Ensure you wear your MedicAlert ID always. It’s engraved with your most urgent medical needs, your unique MedicAlert ID number, and the 24/7 Emergency Hotline. We educate paramedics and other emergency responders to check for the official MedicAlert emblem. If you’re too hurt or ill to speak, it tells emergency responders what they need to know about you - and empowers them to make informed medical decisions.

4. Paramedics, emergency responders and emergency healthcare personnel call us

To treat you quickly and effectively, paramedics and emergency responders need the full story on your health in standard medical terminology that they understand and rely upon. Our 24/7 Emergency Hotline representatives answer their calls in an average of 5 seconds, providing your detailed medical record in as many as 140 languages, which is invaluable if you travel. No wonder that MedicAlert is the first choice of emergency responders.

5. Then we call your family

Being in an emergency can leave you feeling scared and vulnerable. Having loved ones close by can make all the difference in the world. MedicAlert is the only medical ID that offers a staff of 24/7 Emergency Hotline representatives who will call your loved ones in a moment of a crisis. That way, you’ll never have to face an emergency alone.
