Medic-Alert

My son wears a Medic-Alert necklace. All of his medical information is available if someone contacts Medic-Alert with his ID number. Last semester he was playing Ultimate Frisbee and his necklace got ripped off. He looked all over for it but the field was very muddy. Several days later someone found it, called Medic-Alert, who called me. They sent him a new necklace (I had an extra one at home which I had already sent). I feel more at ease knowing that if I'm not available or if my son is not conscious, his medical info is a phone call away, 24 hours/day.

We deducted the cost of the Medic-Alert membership on our Flex plan, and just yesterday read that some insurance companies cover it, so I'll inquire about that.
