Medical IDs are a qualified reimbursement expense for many Flexible Spending Accounts. Additionally, many health insurance providers will reimburse you for the purchase of your medical ID. Simply contact them directly to inquire about this. Also, visit with your doctor to receive a recommendation from him or her that you can provide to your health insurance company as proof of the medical necessity.
Medical IDs are recommended for anyone living with:
- Heart disease
- Blood thinners/anticoagulants/aspirin
- Drug allergies (such as Penicillin)
- Food allergies (such as peanut)
- Insect allergies (such as bee stings)
- Alzheimer's/Dementia/Memory impairment
- Anemia
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Asthma
- Autism
- ADD/ADHD
- Bariatric surgery patients
- Blood disorders
- Breathing disorders
- Cerebral Palsy
- Clinical trial patients
- COPD
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Emphysema
- Epilepsy, seizures
- Hearing, sight or mentally impaired
- Hypertension
- Kidney failure
- Mental health patients
- Multiple medications

- Parkinson's Disease
- Rare diseases

- Stroke risk

Additionally, medical IDs are essential for family caregivers as well as those living with chronic conditions or allergies. Considering 50 million people in America are caring for loved ones with a chronic condition or disability and 59 percent of those caregivers are employed (according to the National Family Caregivers Association), medical IDs provide freedom for caregivers who want confidence that their family member's health will be attended to in case they are unable to do so.
