Wearing a medical ID can be lifesaving if your family member or loved one has chronic health conditions, especially if it causes them to lose consciousness or otherwise be unable to advocate for themselves.
Purchasing a medical ID from American Medical ID allows you to combine crucial medical equipment and beautiful jewelry in one perfect present. Here’s a quick rundown on how to pick the right ID for your family member and what information should be included.
Picking Out the Medical ID
First and foremost, a medical ID should be something that your family member will enjoy wearing. The wide variety of medical IDs are organized into categories for men, women, and children, as well as IDs under $25, fine jewelry, and accessories like watch slides, phone IDs, and ID bands and chains.
Consider whether your family member would prefer a beautiful piece of fine jewelry, a sporty wrist band, or a slide that can be added to an existing smartwatch band. If you’re on a budget, check out the under $25 and clearance section.
Engraving the Medical ID
Any major medical conditions should be engraved on the medical ID. Examples include anaphylactic food, medication, or drug allergies; seizures; diabetes; cardiac stents; or a pacemaker.
If you have questions about what information should be included, reach out to the friendly customer support staff via phone at 1-800-363-5985 or live online chat. They will walk you through the process with no extra charge.
Is a Digital ID Necessary?
The MyIHR Digital ID is an excellent option for anyone with multiple medical conditions or a long health history. It offers the space to include a more extensive medical history. The most pertinent conditions can be listed on the physical ID, and the rest of your family member’s health history can be listed in an easy-to-read online format that is accessible through a QR code on a physical card carried in their wallet.
