Frequently Asked Questions
What components are included in Medical Alert’s Home System?
You will receive a base unit with two-way speaker and a waterproof help button that can be worn around the neck or wrist. For landline systems, a phone cord is included to attach your base device to the phone jack. A medical information card and step-by-step set up instructions are also included. Fall detection is available for this system as well.
Will the Home System work in my area?
The Medical Alert system will work in all 50 states, as well as Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Landline systems require that a compatible phone line is present. Cellular systems require that adequate cellular coverage is available.
Is the help button waterproof?
Yes! Unfortunately, many falls happen in or around the shower or tub; with this top of mind, we made sure that our help buttons can be worn in the tub or shower. For an added layer of protection, we offer a fall detection help button which is also waterproof.
How fast will I receive my Medical Alert system shipment?
Shipping times vary based on which option you chose for your order:
- Ground Shipping – 5-7 Business Days
- Overnight – Next-day delivery
All orders must be placed before 3 p.m. Mon-Thurs or before 2 p.m. on Friday to qualify for these shipping times. If orders are placed after 3 p.m. Mon-Thurs or after 3 p.m. on Friday the order will go out the next day.
What is the difference between the rate plans?
The best value and most popular option is our annual rate plan where you get free ground shipping and a free lockbox. Our semi-annual plan includes six months of service with free ground shipping and our monthly plan is a month-to-month option.
For convenience, when you choose a rate plan, we will automatically take payment on the same day every month, six months or 12 months depending on the rate plan you select.
If you are unsure about which rate plan is good for you or if you have further questions, please call us at 800-800-2537 and we can help you select the best rate plan for you.
