LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire -05/31/12)- MMRGlobal, Inc. (MMRF) ("MMR") today announced that it has entered into an amended services agreement with E-Mail Frequency (www.emailfrequency.com) to offer the Company's MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record (PHR) products and services exclusively to a consortium of wholesale affinity and employee benefit Telemedicine Providers starting this July. The providers deliver services connecting patients to physicians online for consults and treatment from the privacy of their home or office. The agreement calls for E-mail Frequency to offer embedded PHRs to more than one million wholesale benefit recipients in the first year of service. E-mail Frequency clients already include AmeriDoc (www.ameridoc.com), a nationwide telemedicine service provider of 24/7 access to licensed physicians via telephone, video and secure e-mail, and National Benefit Builders, Inc. (www.nbbicard.com), an industry leader in marketing and distributing discount health, dental, vision and prescription drug networks headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey with Regional Offices in New York, Texas, Florida, and elsewhere.

The American Medical Association Council on Medical Service recently issued a report emphasizing the importance and value of telemedicine services similar to those offered by the E-mail Frequency providers. The report also encourages reimbursement by private insurers for similar doctor on-call telemedicine services, which are currently covered under Medicaid in nearly half the country. As more employers and private insurers adopt similar policies, the market for this type of telemedicine services in the U.S. is expected to generate $3.6 billion in annual revenue over the next five years, according to a study by research firm Pike & Fischer.

David Loftus, CEO of E-mail Frequency, said, "It has taken over two years for E-Mail Frequency clients to understand what a Personal Health Record is, the importance of having one and why and when they need it. As a result, we are now embedding MyMedicalRecords in a bundled benefit offering surrounding telemedicine services on a wholesale level."

Because a Personal Health Record is the optimum way for a physician providing telemedicine services to document the history of a patient's visit and complete the continuum of patient care, MyMedicalRecords is uniquely positioned to benefit. MMR's patented Personal Health Record is the only PHR that allows patients to receive their records from any doctor or healthcare professional by fax, voice or file upload consistent with HIPAA guidelines in an easy to access image form. The affinity and employee benefit telemedicine program includes MyMedicalRecords as a fully integrated patient portal that enables employees and their family members to securely manage and maintain their Personal Health Record after a telemedicine visit or with any family member's existing medical records.
