Michigan Medicine Badge Covers help protect the privacy of frontline staff while providing patients, visitors, and colleagues with the information they need. Worn over an official Michigan Medicine MCard, Badge Covers display the cardholder’s first name, department, and professional credentials, with a transparent window that allows the MCard photo to show through.

Badge Covers are provided at no cost to Michigan Medicine personnel.

Caution
NOTE: Badge Covers must always be worn over an official Michigan Medicine MCard. A Badge Cover does not replace an MCard and must never be worn on its own.

Before You Get Your Badge Cover

Check your information. Your Badge Cover will display your first name, department, and professional credentials exactly as they appear on your MCard. If any information needs to be updated, visit the Key & ID Office or NCRC MCard Issuing Station to have a new MCard printed. You can have your Badge Cover printed during the same visit.

Review the policy. Before receiving your Badge Cover, please read the Addendum to Michigan Medicine Security Access Control Policy & Procedure: Optional Badge Cover for Employee Identification.

Always carry your MCard. Your official Michigan Medicine MCard must be present whenever you wear your Badge Cover. A Badge Cover cannot be worn on its own.

What are badge covers, and why are they being offered?
Badge covers are an optional way to support staff safety and privacy by hiding the last name displayed on MCards while keeping first name, department, and photo visible to patients and colleagues.

Are badge covers required?
No. Badge covers are optional and available to all Michigan Medicine team members.

Do badge covers replace the MCard?
No. MCard remains the official identification and must continue to be worn while working. Staff must also continue to use your MCard for required building and system access.

Can patients request a team member’s full name?
Yes. Patients have the right to know the names of individuals involved in their care. Staff must provide their full name when requested, consistent with state and organizational policy.

What if MCard information is outdated?
If your name, role, department, or other displayed information is outdated, staff must obtain an updated MCard before receiving a matching badge cover. Visit the Key & ID Office at Med Inn or the NCRC MCard office for assistance.

Is there a cost for badge covers?
Initial badge covers are free. Replacement costs may apply for lost MCards. Changes to your name or department will not result in a charge for a replacement badge cover.

Can I remove my badge cover?
Yes. Badge covers slide over your existing MCard and can be removed at any time.

Where can I find additional information?
Refer to the Michigan Medicine Security Access Control Policy & Procedure or contact [email protected] for additional guidance.

What if I miss the distribution period?
Local staff who miss the designated distribution period can present to either Key & ID office locations at any time after November 30th. See below for locations and hours.
