What is medical ID?

A medical Identification tag (medical ID) is jewelry that could save you or a loved one’s life. It allows medical conditions, drug and food allergies, prescribed medicines, and emergency contacts to be engraved onto the surface of a medical ID bracelet or necklace.

These medical ID bracelets and necklaces come in many different styles and variations. Through this partnership with American Medical ID, you may select a medical ID on this unique order form: CLICK HERE.
