Medical ID Jewellery Without Fees or Delays – A Better Option for Kiwis

Recent headlines have highlighted that thousands of New Zealanders are giving up their medical ID memberships due to cost of living pressures. The message in these stories is clear: quick and accurate access to medical information can be the difference between life and death.

At My Identity Medical ID Jewellery, we fully agree with this core principle. Medical IDs are a vital tool for anyone who may be unable to speak for themselves in an emergency. We also recognise that for many years, existing services have done important work in keeping people safe.

Over time, technology has evolved and so have the ways we can connect first responders with life saving information. Today, New Zealanders have more options than ever before. Our approach is one of those options, designed to make access even faster, simpler, and more affordable.

How Our Approach Works

We engrave the National Health Index (NHI) number directly onto our jewellery. This allows first responders to access a person’s health record immediately through the secure systems already used in our health network.

Alongside the NHI number, we engrave serious medical conditions and allergies directly on the jewellery. This means responders can often identify the likely issue at a glance, even before accessing digital records. In urgent situations, that can save precious minutes.

Why This Matters

The technology to access NHI linked records is already in place across New Zealand’s health system. By placing that key number directly in the hands or on the wrist of the patient, we make it easier for first responders to act quickly and accurately.

For some people, a membership based medical ID service with a 24/7 line may still be the right fit. For others, a one off purchase with no ongoing fees is more practical and affordable. Our goal is to ensure that both options exist so people can choose what works best for them.

Our Commitment

At My Identity Medical ID Jewellery, we are committed to improving access, affordability, and speed when it matters most. Whether through our products or other trusted systems, what matters most is that New Zealanders have the right protection for their needs.

Because in an emergency, every second counts and the right medical ID could save your life.
