Emergency Alert Button

[Thad]

My client, a senior 93 years of age is wearing a emergency alert pendant (button). She has fallen and the ambulance responded to her apartment. Is the pendant medical deductible?

[Burke]

Yes, I take it for seniors as a medical expense.

[DMICPA]

Yes

This is a medical expense. It is far less expensive than a 24 hour nurse. If the doctor would sign a statement about this that would lock it in.
