What’s Inside A RedBinder Emergency Folder
Inside a binder you will have all of your important information readily at hand for whatever emergency may come your way. Below are the 9 main categories that we typically recommend for any standard RedBinder.
1. Emergency Contacts
Your Emergency Contacts Section will have the more important contacts that first responders will require. Providing your immediate call list upon an emergency.
This information will include:
- ICE (In Case of Emergency) contacts
- Primary physician contact
- Pharmacy information
- And POA contacts
2. ID & Insurance Cards
Providing your photocopies of IDs and all relevant insurance cards streamlines any confusing moments for registration and point of care.
- Driver’s License or Gov’t ID
- Passport
- Insurance card copies (front & back)
- Medicare Card
3. Provider Network
Having every doctor, specialist and pharmacy with all relevant contact data is essential in an emergency.
- Primary care physician
- Specialists (by category)
- Preferred hospital/urgent care
- Dentist, vision care, etc.
4. Allergies & Restrictions
Letting a doctor know the exact allergy that you have, cause and symptom can help save your life and prevent further injuries.
- Allergies and adverse reactions
5. Medications
Medication dosage amounts, when they are taken, who prescribed them, which pharmacy they are filled at, and if they are temporary or not; all vital within an emergency.
- Active medication list with dosages
- Supplement tracking
- Medication schedule
6. Health Summary
Having a record of your current health status in a quick reference sheet will help with a quick quality of care in an emergency situation.
- Chronic conditions

Often a POA is the only legal document considered within emergencies. Maybe a living will. But, did you know there are many others equally as important?

- HIPAA authorization forms
8. Doctor Visit Summaries
Recent encounters with your medical team are important so that, in an emergency, your medical team can have a up-to-date image of your health plan.
- Visit summaries

9. Urgent Care & Hospital Stays
Having a place to store your visit summaries from any urgent care or hospital stays is also vital information for your medical team to have in an emergency.
