How We Work
MedicAlert helps people with chronic health conditions live their best lives.

We began in 1956 with a simple idea...
A father’s desire to protect his daughter became a mission that is still changing the world today—one life at a time.

Being a MedicAlert subscriber means you have:
- A MedicAlert service plan (monthly, or 1-, 2-, and 3-year options available
- A MedicAlert ID
- An online Personal Health Record
- The protection of our 24/7 Emergency Hotline
Our 24/7 Emergency Hotline ensures that critical health information is communicated when you can't speak or when you're not there to advocate for a loved one.

MedicAlert IDs are engraved with critical health info, a unique ID number and the phone number for our 24/7 Emergency Hotline. IDs are worn at pulse points where First Responders are trained to look for them.

When First Responders call, MedicAlert provides critical health info to guide life-saving decisions in emergencies.

When a teacher, coach, or Good Samaritan calls, MedicAlert quickly connects them to the subscriber’s listed emergency contacts.
