I have my doctor's business cards. If I can't get in to see him, I figure that helps. I have 3 doctors in one city & 1 in another. I've never had a problem, but same thing, I carry a prescription on long trips. On weekend trips where I'm in a car just crossing over that isn't always possible & bridge customs USA/Canada is just as picky, that's where I would pull out my insurance card & my doctor's business card.
