Statistics:
- According to American Medical ID’s customer survey conducted in August, 2007:
- People wearing a medical ID who experienced a medical incident which led to a trip to the emergency room average $3,753.27 for their hospital bill versus an average hospital bill of $26,395.32 for those not wearing a medical ID.
- Primary reasons for the discrepancy in hospital costs include:
- Patients may experience a more rapid diagnosis and treatment when wearing a medical ID, reducing the chances of long term medical implications; and
- There is a lower chance for medical professionals to administer potentially harmful medications or treatments (such as drugs the patient may be allergic to).
