Overview

The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) funds the costs of Medical Alarm Services to its eligible clients through a Disability Allowance (DA).

A medical alarm is a device worn by the client so they can signal the presence of a hazard requiring urgent attention and summon emergency medical personnel.

Assistance with Medical Alarms is only provided to people whose General Practitioner has assessed that an alarm is necessary for their normal daily living, without it, the person’s life or health would be put at risk or their disability would be aggravated.

Once the client has obtained approval from their General Practitioner, they select a supplier of their choice from a panel of MSD accredited suppliers.

The scope of the Medical Alarm Service includes the supply of medical alarms, installation, monitoring, maintenance and response to all activated alarm signals at any time 24 hours per day, seven days a week delivered by a supplier.

Suppliers are not permitted to upsell other services that will incur additional costs to the client such as tele-health or other valued added equipment/services.
All accredited suppliers must be members of the Telecare Services Association New Zealand (TSANZ); an industry body whose quality standards ensure industry members operate to best practice when providing services to the community.

All contact via GETS Question facility please. Please do not email your response, use the GETS function.
