MIDEO® Frequently Asked Questions
1.What is MIDEO®?
MIDEO® stands For My Informed Decision on VidEO.

2. How is the MIDEO® card created?
MIDEO® is created via a facilitated medical evaluation with a licensed medical provider. From that evaluation a medical prescription for your care is created. It is then recorded and placed in our secure servers. We utilize ID cards called MIDEO ID cards and ask that they be kept with your insurance Cards and drivers license in your wallet or purse. You also receive a MIDEO Magnet for your refrigerator as we often train paramedics to look on the side of your refrigerator for your living will or advance directive.

It’s the most highly accurate form of advance directive or medical order that exists today to ensure your safety.
