LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 9, 2012) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (
"We are very excited to be introducing the MyMedicalRecords prepaid card to healthcare industry leaders, retail buyers and wholesale distributors attending the Consumer Electronics Show," said Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal Chairman and CEO. "In 1995, I co-founded SmarTalk, one of the largest providers of prepaid calling cards in the world. I also invented and patented swipe activation at retail. I led a sales team that sold hundreds of millions of prepaid calling cards through retailers worldwide. MMRGlobal will draw on that experience to offer our MyMedicalRecords Prepaid Personal Health Record card. In fact, one of my primary objectives at the show is to meet with many of the manufacturers' representatives that I worked with in the past and bring them on board to sell the prepaid Personal Health Record card. This program's success will rely on the right sales organization and their relationships with retailers. And the team I will build for MMR is the best of the best. At a time when government mandates are requiring that Americans have access to an online PHR in less than two years, I cannot think of a better time to launch a prepaid Personal Health Record card at retail."
Built on proprietary, patented technologies, every MyMedicalRecords.com account includes a personal "Lifeline" telephone number that at the option of the user provides FREE unlimited voice and fax mail services bundled in a user's account. The Lifeline is designed to be used by all of one's doctors and healthcare providers to fax in medical records, which are then automatically viewable in the user's password-protected online account with a copy automatically sent to the subscriber's personal e-mail account at their option. The Lifeline number can also be used for outbound faxing at no additional charge and for recording and storing confidential voice messages. Users can also upload and download documents and medical images directly from their computer.
MyMedicalRecords.com makes it easy for consumers to import medical records from all their healthcare providers regardless of the medical records system being deployed. In addition to securely storing medical records, a MyMedicalRecords account includes a "MyEsafeDepositBox" inside at no additional cost. That feature allows consumers to conveniently manage copies of all their other important documents, such as insurance policies and claims, birth certificate and powers-of-attorney, in one safe place (www.myesafedepositbox.com). MyMedicalRecords.com also features a patented Emergency Login to enable emergency medical personnel to access potentially lifesaving information in an emergency or disaster when every second counts, while all other information in a user's account is protected from view. Each MyMedicalRecords account covers a family of up to 10 members and is bilingual in English and Spanish.
During CES, the MyMedicalRecords.com Personal Health Record will also be demonstrated in the Alcatel-Lucent Booth #3141 in the South Upper Hall with its strategic partners, Alcatel-Lucent and ng Connect. MyMedicalRecords joins more than 80 members of ng Connect in the multi-industry open innovation program founded by Alcatel-Lucent.
