Medical IDs for Veterans
Veterans who have chronic conditions
including PTSD, or suffer from injuries
like embedded metal fragments
need to be easily identifiable in an
emergency. Medical IDs are simple,
inexpensive, yet vital tools that help
people receive the best care and live
safe, independent lives.
The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a
directive stating, “It is VHA policy that ID
bracelets and pendants must be available,
upon appropriate request by Department
of Veterans Affairs clinicians through
Prosthetics Service, for veteran patients
whose pertinent medical information would
be valuable to emergency medical care
providers.”

verifying the veteran’s need for an ID to American Medical ID for processing

•Upon input into the system, American Medical ID generates a unique fax confirmation
for each individual purchase order
