Lifeline Medical Alert Systems

UnitedHealthcare logo

As a UnitedHealthcare member, you may be eligible to receive the Lifeline medical alert service. Lifeline is an easy-to-use medical alert system that lets you summon help any time of day or night – even if you can’t speak. All you need to do is press your medical alert button, worn on a wristband or pendant, and a Trained Care Specialist will make sure you get the help you need as fast as possible. Lifeline not only provides you with the #1 medical alert system but we also offer you peace of mind.

How Lifeline Works

With a simple press of your help button, worn as a pendant or wristband, you’ll be quickly connected to a Trained Care Specialist 24/7/365.

Call for Help: As soon as you press your help button, or a fall is detected, you are connected to our North America-based, owned, and operated Response Centers.*

Hear a Reassuring Voice: A caring Trained Care Specialist, available 24/7/365, will quickly assess your situation and determine what help to send to you.

Help is On the Way: Our Trained Care Specialist will dispatch the help you need; from a neighbor, family member, or emergency services, and will follow up to confirm that help has arrived.

Our Products

NOTE: The Lifeline website may show you all of the product options available, however, not all of these products may be included in your benefits portfolio. Available products will be presented to you when you complete the online registration or by a customer service representative when you call.

At the heart of our service is a lightweight help button that quickly connects you to our owned and operated Response Centers 24/7/365. Then, a Trained Care Specialist will access your personal care plan, assess your situation and dispatch the help you need whether from a neighbor, nearby loved one, or emergency services. They will also follow up to make sure that help has arrived.

Home Systems

Our industry-leading HomeSafe provides quick access to Trained Cared Specialists with the press of a button or by using our optional fall detection technology.

All-in-one System

GPS Location Tracking

This single-piece system provides fast access to help whenever and wherever you need it.*

How the Away Service Works

GPS technology and Wi-Fi signals inside and around the home are used to create a home zone perimeter that is approximately 300 feet radius, based on signal strength. At least one Away Service Contact is required, and you may add up to three, each of whom will receive the notifications. To add an Away Service Contact, we require the Contact name, email, mobile phone, and preferred language when calling Lifeline Customer Support.

Away Service is NOT intended for individuals that have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or significant cognitive impairment unless a caregiver is available to assist with charging the device. On the Go+ requires charging every two to three days.

**Away Service will be available in March 2023
