LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire -05/29/12)- MMRGlobal, Inc. (MMRF.OB) ("MMR") today announced that its domestic membership base for its patented Personal Health Record products and services has passed the one million mark and is expected to double before the end of this year with affinity programs through agreements with E-mail Frequency (www.emailfrequency.com). The Company believes it currently has the highest member base of any pure-play Personal Health Record (PHR) provider. MMR counts members as a population who has paid access to the Company's MyMedicalRecords and MyEsafeDepositBox websites along with private label websites. Members from MMR's clients include Chartis Insurance (formerly AIG), Coverdell, MedicAlert, UST Global, and the NRA in addition to union membership, expats, hospitals, physician groups, surgery centers and other healthcare professionals, amongst others.

Membership is a key indicator of the interest in, and awareness of, Personal Health Records, giving the Company a targeted list of individuals and families that MMR can convert to users. According to Bob Lorsch, MMRGlobal CEO, "As our member base continues to grow, it creates a revenue generating platform for the Company to sell affiliate products and services or for use in a targeted advertising model. Once users place any data in their account, they keep it. The more information that is stored in an account the stickier our service becomes."

Starting today, the Company will be presenting its Interbit Data certified MEDITECH solution at the International MUSE Conference taking place in Orlando through June 1 (www.museweb.org). The solution moves patient records from MEDITECH EMR systems and delivers them into MMRPatientView which can then be upgraded to a full-featured MyMedicalRecords PHR. The MyMedicalRecords PHR is also integrated in the Company's MMRPro document management and imaging system (http://info.mmrpro.com/). MMRPro is sold to surgery centers, small hospitals, physician offices and other healthcare professionals.

MyMedicalRecords is the only PHR that can store actual copies of patient files in their original format from any healthcare professional and connect patients to their providers via a patented telecommunications platform which seamlessly integrates Internet, fax and voice. Each MyMedicalRecords account includes a version of the Company's MyEsafeDepositBox service to protect other important documents and enable quick retrieval in an emergency, such as deeds of trust, birth certificates, passports, insurance policies, wills, advance directives, photos and other irreplaceable documents. Since the launch of its MyMedicalRecords service in 2005, the Company has noted attrition rates of less than 3 percent.

MMR sells MyMedicalRecords PHR products direct to consumers, corporations as an employee benefit, physicians, small hospitals, surgery centers and other healthcare professionals, including veterinarians, and through affinity organizations as a "value-added" service for their members or clients. The Company recently introduced a Prepaid Personal Health Record Card, which it is beginning to offer through retailers. The Company also plans to sell MyEsafeDepositBox.com through financial services organizations in the future.

The Company's products and services are offered both via the MyMedicalRecords website and as a private-label product. When sold to employers and/or affinity groups, MMR uses a wholesale pricing model similar to companies like Travel Guard. In that model, the Company counts members as individuals who have received wholesale paid access to the MMR system as an employee benefit or from an affinity group. The Company then counts users as the individuals in that member group who activate and commence usage of their individual PHR by having documents, images or voice files stored in their account.
