In an emergency, when you might not be able to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace speaks for you by communicating brief and vital medical information to the healthcare professionals caring for you.   Symptoms of common ailments can easily be misdiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. A brief description of vital medical facts engraved on your medical ID ensures appropriate and timely medical care.   According to a published study, half of all medical errors occur because of mistakes made upon admission or discharge from the hospital. Wearing a medical ID protects against potentially harmful medical errors.   Over 95% of emergency responders look for a medical ID; over 75% check for a medical ID immediately upon assessing the patient. If you're wearing a medical ID, it very likely won't be missed.   Medical IDs can eliminate trips to the hospital, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor emergencies from becoming major ones. Medical IDs save lives! One day, a medical ID may save you. Who Should Wear a Medical ID? If you have an ongoing medical condition, drug or food allergies, or are taking multiple medicines, you should wear a medical ID. An engraved medical ID bracelet or necklace presenting a concise overview of your condition(s), allergies and medicines will alert a doctor or medic before starting treatment. Informing medical personnel about your unique medical condition(s) and needs will greatly aid pre-hospital care. Can You be Reimbursed for Your Medical ID? Some health insurance plans may reimburse you for the purchase of your medical ID. When visiting with your doctor ask for a prescription for your Medical ID jewelry based on your medical condition. This prescription along with your insurance filing form when submitted to your health care plan will act as proof of the medical necessity.
