Are you buying through MedicAlert with the yearly membership, or are there other companies that just do the breacelet? I was on their website, and it is $40 a year. I don;t want to pay that, but I would get a bracelet with all of my pertinent info. on it.I am looking into getting it resurfaced and re-engraved/updated.
The advantage to the membership is that one id # contains all info and it can be updated.
I would think it would be considered a health expense for tax purposes (I hope!).
Happy Bracelet Shopping :)
I got mine from universal medical id, they are in etobicoke and you order on line. They offer a free on line registration, but I did not get it. I bought a regular tag and got some custome braclets made on line, then I got a tag one a canvas ( not really sure the material) band that I wear everyday, it is sturdy enough to go out and work out in, but the nicer ones are for going out or just when I want a nicer look.
Mine Reads:
Roux-en-y
gastric bypass
no blind NG tube
sugars or NSAIDS
I got mine through medicalert.ca, YES it's $40 a year, but there is one number to keep up with and they can contact the company to get all your up-to-date medical history and what meds/supplements you are using. Worthwhile in my honest opinion.
