<DIV>Hi folks: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I finally got around to getting a Medic Alert membership & id
bracelet for myself so thought I’d share some of the information about Medic
Alert if any of you are so inclined to set this up for yourself. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I found the web site over-whelming with the amount of stuff they have so
I just called them and got the bare-bones basics. But, if you want to go
and nosey around on their web site to find out what they offer, here is their
contact information: </DIV>

2-5 Saturdays. California time</FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The cost for a basic annual
membership is $50.00. With becoming a member I bought the basic
stainless steel bracelet with oval Medic Alert emblem. I got a red
emblem which is their traditional color, but they offer other colors like
black, purple, pink, etc. My opinion only is its not great jewelry so I
just wanted to keep it simple. The cost of the basic stainless bracelet is $10
plus the membership for a total of $60.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Oh yes, the shipping is around
$7 so the grand total is $67. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The $50 membership entitles you
to unlimited updates on your information for 1 year. You can list
multiple conditions like diabetes, type 1 or 2, blindness or legally blind,
high blood pressure. I think you are limited to what will fit on the
emblem – I got the small one and could list 4 things. These conditions
get engraved onto the emblem and because it is personalized it is not
refundable. It will also spell out their 1-800 number and your own id
number. The size of the bracelet goes from about 5-inches up to I think
she told me 10-Inches (the sizes I might be off on so call if you need to
know) </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">With your account they will
take a list of all your meds, important doctors like primary &/or
diabetic, &/or cardiologist. You can list 1 or 2 emergency contacts.
</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">They offer other types of
jewelry link necklaces, dog tags, leather, beaded bands or even gold and
sterling silver but you will pay a lot more for these choices.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">So hope this helps. The
annual fee of $50 must get paid once every year in order to be able to keep
your information updated for emergencies when you can’t communicate this type
of information for yourself.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Stay cool and talk soon. </P>
