If you were involved in a serious accident or suddenly became ill, would you be able to tell emergency personnel about your medical conditions, allergies and medications? Would you be able to let them know how to reach your family or your preference in hospitals and physicians?

With a Lifeteam Alert membership, you have a valuable tool right at your fingertips that can do the speaking for you. Lifeteam Alert is a simple, yet effective solution that gives skilled medical professionals access to your personal medical information at a time when it is needed most.

Lifeteam Alert members store their personal health data, including information about medical conditions and allergies in a secure database at the Lifeteam Alert Emergency Call Center. The member is given a Lifeteam Alert pendant, bracelet or key ring tag, along with a car sticker, house sticker and a plastic membership card.

When a medical crisis occurs, emergency personnel calls a phone number printed on the Lifeteam Alert tag and the patient’s medical information is relayed by trained professionals directly to emergency personnel at the scene of the medical emergency or to a hospital where the patient is being transported. The Lifeteam Alert Emergency Call Center operates 24 hours-per-day, 365 days-per-year.

The Lifeteam Alert program is a service of Air Evac Lifeteam, an air ambulance provider serving rural America for more than 20 years. As an emergency health care provider, Air Evac recognized the need for access to valuable patient medical information. Lifeteam Alert is a response to this need.

The cost is only $30 that includes a one-time $15 set-up for anyone who wants to enroll in Lifeteam Alert. After that you only be required to pay the annual $15 service fee to provide the service and maintain their medical information. Medical information can be updated at any time at no added expense.
