Do you worry about being a victim of medical error if you were rushed to hospital due to illness or accident? Are you anxious about receiving medical treatments you don’t want if you’re unconscious or unable to communicate?

Membership to My Medical Choice offers protection when you are at your most vulnerable.

How do we do that?

• Avoid medical error - As soon as you subscribe, you are given a secure online account page. Add your medical history and save it online for emergency services to access when needed.
• Let your loved ones know - Add your ICE (in case of emergency) contacts or Attorney details to your account page to ensure they will be notified if you are rushed to hospital.
• Avoid unwanted medical procedures - Download our Advance Decision Notice (living will) template. From the list, tick off any healthcare treatments or procedures you don’t want, such as blood transfusions or certain medications. Your instructions are legally binding, so get it witnessed, then upload it to your account page. When emergency services read it, they know what treatments they can and can’t give you.

How do emergency services and medical staff know you have a living will and how to access that crucial information?

Simple.

As a member, you can order jewellery tags and medical ID cards bearing your emergency access login data and a warning that an Advance Decision Notice is in place. First responders and hospital staff are trained to look out for tags and cards, so can log in to your account page using the data provided. From your account page, they can see your essential medical history and download a copy of your Advance Decision Notice. Logging in to your account page triggers an automated SMS text that warns your ICE contacts that you’re in hospital.

So, when it comes to your healthcare, My Medical Choice puts YOU in control.
