No, you do not need a prescription from the doctor or therapist.
Doctors, Nurses, Schools, Clubs, and Adventurous sport clubs will advise or stess the need to wear an ER TAG. This is for your own safety and peace of mind.
TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR AN ER TAG?

This is a reality, and happens quite often. Our office will be in contact with the owner of the ER Tag. We will need you to decide for yourself, or with the guidance of the doctor or therapist what info is essential for you’re medical condition, meds or disability in any traumatic situation. This information is crucial as it can be life saving at that moment.
