MedicAlert : Professionals

For Emergency and Rescue Professionals

In an emergency, time and accuracy are of the essence. A study of emergency department admissions found that 13,200 cases per day are complicated by a lack of timely, credible and approximate medical information.

As a healthcare professional, your patients rely on your advice. When you recommend they join MedicAlert®, you can rely on us to give them the protection you expect and they deserve.

MedicAlert services can help to speed assessment and save lives. You'll find a Member's primary condition on the back of his or her body-worn emblem. The phone number and Member's ID engraved on the Emblem gives you instant access to additional medical information through our secure database.

We're here to serve our Members by making your life easier. Whenever you see the MedicAlert® Emblem, you can count on us! To every one of you who has called MedicAlert on behalf of one of our Members, please accept our heartfelt thanks. To become a MedicAlert member, you may enroll online . You may also download an application.
