Who We Are
The MedicAlert service connects medical professionals, family and friends with those in need of help 24-hours a day. The process works this way. You purchase a MedicAlert medical identification bracelet or pendant for the individual to wear. Etched on the back of the ID will be that person's confidential identification number, medical condition and any medications.
Finally, also inscribed on the bracelet is a telephone number that can be called collect any time of the day. For example, the call may be made by a paramedic, a hospital, the person wearing the bracelet if he or she can not reach someone to help, or by someone helping the individual in an emergency or if he or she gets lost.
MedicAlert Customer Satisfaction Representatives are available 24 hours a day, and when given the identification number on the bracelet, will have available on the database up to four telephone numbers.
The cost is quite reasonable. The initial cost also covers the cost of an engraved stainless steel or a two-tone titanium bracelet or pendant. Designer lines are available. Every year you will be asked if you wish to update the information in your confidential database, and you can make necessary changes at any time.
For individuals with very little means, MedicAlert Foundation will supply memberships at significantly reduced rates with those having a physician's consent. Funds to cover the costs for those families come from charitable tax-deductible gifts.
An additional membership benefit is a wallet-size MedicAlert membership card. Printed on it are the MedicAlert« 24-hour emergency collect-call telephone number; the member's name and identification number, and medical conditions and medications. It also lists up to four individuals to contact, their telephone numbers and addresses.
