Your Cruise Your Way Cruise Blog

Crystal Cruises had added a new service that allows you to take your medical records with you on a cruise, thus enabling you to get emergency treatment without delays obtaining your personal medical records. Crystal Cruises is now partnering with PocketMD, a confidential HIPAA-compliant (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) service that uses exclusive, state-of-the-art technology to store your medical information on a pocket-sized CD.

Once you have purchased the service and completed the required forms, the experts at PocketMD do all the legwork of contacting your physicians to obtain the necessary medical records such as test results, EKGs, medication and prescription records. All of the medical information that you have authorized to be provided to PocketMD is then formatted, organized and loaded onto a credit card-sized CS that literally fits into your pocket. Now, you have all of your necessary medical information at your fingertips should an emergency arise while you are traveling on a Crystal cruise.
Subscriptions to PocketMD are $149.00 per person for one year, and include unlimited updates of your medical information throughout the year.
