Tas,

    Both Stuller and Qgold have medic-alert components as well as
    finished pieces. The other component of doing the work is for the
    customer to enroll in the Medic Alert program, which provides them
    with a unique ID number.  The 800 number and unique ID are engraved
    onto the medic alert tag, and the paramedics or ER call the number to
    get details of the condition and/or medications involved in the
    alert.  

    Some clients simply want the word "diabetic" or "epileptic" and
    their doctor's phone number engraved on the tags, which is fine.  But
    for liability reasons, you need to tell them about the full-service
    medic alert system and let them make the determination if they want
    to skip it.  Of course, document that on their receipt.  

    OR... simply provide them with the jewelry and let them get it
    engraved themselves -- and document THAT on the receipt, too.  

    That way, it can't come back to bite you that you "did it wrong" and
    they didn't know they weren't getting a "real" medic alert.
