Medical alert systems allow seniors and those with disabilities to live independently and safely. In Colorado Springs, close to 13% of the population is over 65 and 10% of those under 65 have a disability. The benefits of medical alert systems for these groups include:
A medical alert system includes a wearable — often a medical alert bracelet or pendant — with a button the user can press when he or she needs assistance. An accompanying base station or portable device has a speaker and allows two-way communication. Some wearables have a built-in speaker.
Most medical alert systems in Colorado Springs are monitored medical alert systems: When the user presses the button, he or she is connected to an emergency operator who is trained to respond and send emergency assistance if necessary. Unmonitored medical alert systems dial through or send notification to a list of emergency contacts and/or 911.
Monitored medical alert systems cost, on average, $20 - $90 per month. Medical alert companies offer subscription periods ranging from one month to one year, with more savings for longer subscriptions. Most companies allow you to cancel anytime and receive a prorated refund. Equipment is generally rented and returned upon cancellation.
Unmonitored medical systems usually have no ongoing charge — just an upfront price to purchase the equipment, which ranges from $100 - $300.
Here are other factors that affect the cost of a medical alert system in Colorado Springs:
AARP doesn’t specifically endorse any brand of medical alert system in Colorado Springs. Some companies may offer discounts to AARP members or other groups.
Original Medicare and most health insurance plans don’t cover medical alert systems in Colorado Springs. Some Medicare Advantage and long-term insurance plans may provide coverage. Contact your provider for details.
Medical alert systems in Colorado Springs are available with many features:
Most medical alert systems in Colorado Springs are easy to install on your own. The equipment shipment will include instructions for setting up and testing the medical alert system. If you have difficulty, representatives are available to assist over the phone.
Medical alert systems require little maintenance. The warranty that comes with your medical alert system should cover new batteries and replacement of defective equipment. Medical alert companies sell additional protection plans to cover theft, loss and damage beyond normal wear and tear.
