I'm
healthy, why should I need Global MED-NET
Services?
Accidents and medical emergencies happen to
healthy people. Last year, there were more
than 100 million emergency room visits in
America. (National Center for Health Statistics)
I don't travel; I stay
in my hometown. Wouldn't the emergency room
personnel be able to obtain my medical records
from my personal physician or local hospital?
They probably can, but it could take hours.
In an emergency situation, seconds count and
valuable time could make the difference between
life and death.
What about access through
the Internet?
All member profiles are maintained in a secure
database and are not available over the Internet,
except in special circumstances where it is
expressly agreed and consented to by the member.
Can other people access
a member's medical information?
No. Global MED-NET will only forward a member's
medical profile to emergency medical personnel
and each request is verified before information
is forwarded.
Does Global MED-NET sell
data to other companies?
No. All Global MED-NET member information
is kept strictly confidential.
Is Global MED-NET an
insurance company?
No. Global MED-NET is not an insurance company,
nor does it make a member's medical profile
available to insurance companies.
What happens if your
computers "crash"?
All member information is backed up and stored
in a secure, off-site location.
What if I travel to a
foreign country and need my Global MED-NET
information?
Global MED-NET operates worldwide, utilizes
multilingual operators and can fax your information
in both English and the language many other
countries.
