We're a bit different in Canada.
We purchase the bracelet and/or pendant The style and what it is made of determines the price. The cheapest is around $ 15.00, but you can have it gold for up to $ 300.00.

Engraved on it is your name, allergies, meds and medical conditions. If it won't all fit on there, they will engrave "card in wallet", which has further info, and/or, we can have our "personal health plan number" (PHN) engraved on it. That's what I have.

The PHN gives any Canadian medical facility access to most of your medical information including physicians, prescriptions, test results, specialist reports, viewable X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans etc, as anything that our physicians have written about us, and/or billed our health plans for, is logged into computer data bases for each province.

For out of the country emergencies, the medical facility can contact the health plan of the home province of the patient, receive a secure log-in code, and obtain the info.

I ordered a new neck pendant as well as a bracelet and paid $86.00 for everything, including shipping.

With love, Erika
