LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 23, 2012) - [ MMRGlobal, Inc. ] (OTCBB: [ MMRF ]) ("MMR") today announced a major change in the Company's sales and marketing strategy, supplementing its existing distribution channels to build a faster bridge to revenue, starting immediately. MMR is a leading provider of [ Personal Health Records ] (PHRs), [ MyEsafeDepositBox ] storage solutions and electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals. The programs are expected to increase consumer usage of the Company's health IT products and services, which MMR believes will translate into immediate and scalable sales. Some of the programs include the following:

• A [ MyMedicalRecords ] Personal Health Record Enrollment Kit will be distributed to customers of a major independent pharmacy chain in Southern California that fills or re-fills thousands of prescriptions a month, starting the first week of May. The pharmacy will encourage customers to activate their account and is being provided collateral materials to reinforce sign-ups. The pharmacy will then place prescription information directly into the customer's account on an ongoing basis.
  
  
• MMR will launch a recurring direct marketing program with Pets Best insurance, also beginning in May, offering Personal Health Records to more than 300,000 pet owners. The landing page for this program can be seen at [ http://petsbest.mmrcontent.com/demo/ ].
  
  
• MMR will attend the Visiting Nurse Associations of America Annual Meeting in Phoenix starting on May 2, and plans on signing up nursing agencies to distribute MyMedicalRecords directly to as many as four million patients through 90,000 VNAA member clinicians.
  
  
• The Company has initiated the launch of the VIDA Senior Resource program through the distribution of 10,000 prepaid PHR cards enabling caregivers to activate personal health records in the home when visiting patients.
  
  
• The MyMedicalRecords Prepaid Personal Health Record cards will be offered to a test group of 160,000 users as a member benefit in a well-known national fitness chain starting this summer.
  
  
• MMR will begin home sales of PHRs as part of a suite of digital home products offered through 5,000 door-to-door sales representatives of Elevate. MMR plans on offering services starting this summer.
  
  

"The biggest challenge we have faced in marketing MyMedicalRecords is the resistance of people to change and begin the inevitable process of managing their personal health records online. This is also true of healthcare professionals, who tend to be conservative," said MMRGlobal Chairman and CEO Bob Lorsch. "We have spent the past three months taking a hard look at our sales, marketing and distribution strategies and recalibrating our targets so we are now shifting our emphasis from just touching potential users through employee benefits and insurance programs to aggressively building a critical mass of active PHR users. So beyond the doctor's office, our consumer-controlled PHR is being deployed through interactive distribution channels that can directly place the product into users' hands, reinforce the need to have a PHR, and also assist users in adopting the PHR. It is our experience that once consumers start to use their accounts, they continue to use them and remain paid subscribers."

"We are investing the marketing dollars that will begin to launch these programs over the next two quarters, which is expected to give us a measurable uptick in Q3 and then beyond from PHR user subscriptions. For example, there are more than 20,000 independent pharmacies in the U.S. that fill approximately 1.5 billion prescriptions annually. Simply adding an individual's or family's prescriptions in a MyMedicalRecords PHR should generate significant usage of PHRs," Lorsch added.

MMRGlobal will continue selling [ MMRPro ] and [ MMRPatientView ] to physician practices, surgery centers, hospitals and other healthcare professionals as well as marketing its PHR to existing employee benefit and insurance programs and continuing with its MedicAlert® Gold program. The Company will also continue to monetize both its health IT and biotech intellectual property assets.
