Why Choose Universal Medical ID UK
Saving Lives for Over 30 Years
When you buy a medical ID, we know you’re not just buying a piece of jewelry, but peace of mind, independence, and security. It is important to choose an established company that can provide the service that you, your family, and the community deserve. We know you have a choice and we hope it is American Medical ID.
Your Purchase Gives Back
American Medical ID works with several partner organizations and institutions that allow us to serve diverse members of the community.
For Medical Community
We collaborate with leading organizations like the Mayo Clinic, CDC, and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners to educate the public on the lifesaving importance of medical IDs.
Everyone deserves protection. Through our physician-referral program, we provide free medical IDs to patients facing financial hardship. Simply provide a note or prescription from your doctor to qualify.
Serving Our Veterans
Since 2012, American Medical ID has been a proud, VA-approved vendor. Through our Federal Supply Schedule contract, we provide Free Medical IDs for Eligible Veterans.
Our commitment to service began in 2010 with our One Million Card Donation to the Nurses Organization of Veterans Affairs (NOVA), supporting those who have sacrificed for our nation.
Supporting the Autism Community
Since 2012, we have partnered with Autism Speaks to increase awareness and advocate for the needs of individuals on the spectrum. A portion of every sale from our Autism Awareness Collection is donated to fund vital research, treatments, and family support services.
Supporting the Diabetes Community
As a national affinity sponsor of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), we have worked together since 2007 to advocate for patient safety. When you purchase a custom-engraved ADA® Medical ID Bracelet, a portion of the proceeds is donated to support the ADA’s mission and help those living with diabetes.
Supporting Heart Disease Patients
Since 2007, we have partnered with The Mended Hearts, Inc. to support families affected by congenital heart disease. Beyond providing educational resources on medical ID engraving, we lead awareness campaigns like our ‘Buy One, Give One’ initiative, which donates medical IDs to members in need during the holiday season.
Protection for Every Person
Our vision is an ID for every person. We believe that regardless of your health condition or financial status, you deserve to live with the confidence that your voice will be heard in an emergency. We continue to expand our partnerships to advocate for safety and independence for all.
The Values that Guide Our Business
In the early 1990s, our founder, Rick Russell, noticed a problem: medical IDs were unattractive and uncomfortable. He realized that if people had access to stylish, high-quality designs, they would be more likely to wear these life-saving devices. With that goal in mind, American Medical ID was born in 1994.
We believe every person deserves an emergency ID. By combining handcrafted jewelry with expert guidance from our on-staff certified jewelers, we empower our customers to live life to the fullest with confidence and peace of mind.
