In an emergency, MedicAlert relays vital medical information to paramedics or medical personnel to aid in treatment and help save lives. Over 100,000 members of MedicAlert credit the use of medical identification for saving their lives.
Members store critical medical information with MedicAlert, including details on specific medical conditions, prescription and over-the-counter medications and dosages, allergies, implanted devices and emergency contacts. Emergency responders are trained to know that the MedicAlert symbol on members’ jewelry and wallet card signals that additional medical and contact information is available by calling MedicAlert’s 24-Hour hotline.
