Your order is extremely important to us, so we process it as quickly as possible. Standard orders will be processed within 7 days, therefore we will not be able to make changes once you have placed your order. Please review order details carefully before submitting.
May I order a medical ID for a friend or family member?
Yes, we encourage you to know everything that should be engraved for your loved one. If you are unsure, purchase an American Medical ID Gift Card instead.
Why does American Medical ID need to know whether the medical ID is for a male or female?
We ask if you are male or female to determine your medical ID's plate size and chain length. If you do not specify a chain length in your order, we send the average chain length according to your gender. The plates on our bracelets are different sizes according to your gender. If you would like a different size plate, please call a Customer Service Representative at 1.800.363.5985.
How do I know what size bracelet to order?
Measure your wrist and add between 0.5" and 1" to that measurement.
What is the Customer Satisfaction Policy?
At American Medical ID we take great pride in creating personalized medical identification jewelry. From the time an order is placed, to when it arrives at your home, we want to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. If you are not completely satisfied with your merchandise, you may return or exchange it in accordance of our Return Policy.
How may I check the status of my order?
To check the status of your order, you can contact us here or call a Customer Service Representative at 1.800.363.5985 between the hours of 8am and 4pm CST.
How do I properly care for my medical ID?
TITANIUM is hypoallergenic. To preserve your medical ID’s appearance and minimize scratching, gently clean with a non-abrasive soap or cleanser and water. Dry completely with a soft cloth. Store your titanium medical ID in a soft cloth or bag. Remove your medical ID when working with metal polishers or scrubbing soap. Heavy physical activity may make your medical ID vulnerable to scratching. Consider wearing one of our stainless steel bracelets or necklaces while outdoors.
STAINLESS STEEL Bracelets: Only the Curb chain is adjustable, allowing you to tailor the chain’s length to your wrist. Your medical ID bracelet should be worn firmly, yet comfortably. A firm fit will preserve the engraving. If you chose a Sister Hook clasp, it opens to a “V” by pulling its jaws out and apart. Attach the open clasp to the link to ensure the most comfortable fit on your wrist. To remove excess links, open the unneeded link with pliers by twisting open or cutting away the first unneeded link. Necklaces: If the necklace chain is too short, contact us and we will send a longer chain.
GOLD AND GOLD-FILLED metals will tarnish when exposed to acidic skin or air. A treated polishing cloth will discourage tarnishing. When storing jewelry, do not mix gold and silver. At a minimum, separate the metals by compartments. Guard your medical ID when using household cleaners, especially those containing ammonia or chlorine. Heavy physical activity may make your medical ID vulnerable to scratching. Consider wearing one of our stainless steel bracelets or necklaces while outdoors.
STERLING SILVER A treated polishing cloth will discourage tarnishing. When storing jewelry, do not mix gold and silver, separate the metals by compartments. Guard your medical ID when using household cleaners, especially those containing ammonia or chlorine. Heavy physical activity may make your medical ID vulnerable to scratching. Consider wearing a stainless steel medical ID bracelet or necklace while outdoors. Bracelets: Plates are rhodium coated which helps protect your medical ID from scratching. Chains are not rhodium coated. *Please note charm bracelets and the Odyssey Collection pieces are not rhodium coated, therefore may require more frequent cleaning. Necklaces: Are not rhodium coated. This includes the neck charm and chain.
Can I use my Flex Spending Account to purchase a medical ID?
Yes, a medical ID is an eligible expense that you can buy with your Flexible Spending Account, usually with a Preferred Flex Card without any prescription. Read more about using your FSA to buy a medical ID.
Can I use my Health Savings Account (HSA) to buy a medical ID?
Yes, medical ID bracelets and necklaces are qualified HSA expenses with no prescriptions required. Read more about using your Health Savings Account (HSA) to buy a medical ID.
