what information is included in the hospital id bracelet?!


Question: What information is included in the hospital id bracelet?
as far as age, dob, etc...is teh full SS number included, I lost my 3yr old hospital bracelet, and now I'm worried someone will misuse it

Answers:

Different facilities may differ as to what info is on bracelet, but generally your name, date of birth, address, MD name, ID number and medical records number, date admitted to hospital.



No, the social security number isn't even generated until the hospital sends the records to the government- no worries there. it should only say "baby girl/boy" and your last name, and dob of the baby. You have nothing to worry about.



There is no information on a hospital bracelet that can be misused. I wouldn't worry about it another second. While it varies as to the info on the bracelet, no confidential info is ever listed.
