MMRGlobal Cyber Liability Insurance Program Protects Patients, Subscribers & Physicians From Losses Against Hacking Into Protected Health Information

LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/18/14 — . (OTCQB: MMRF) (“MMR”) today called attention to the Company–s Million Dollar Cyber Liability Insurance program whereby the protected health information of patients, subscribers, employers and healthcare professionals stored in MMR–s MyMedicalRecords (“PHR”) systems is protected against unauthorized intrusion under the program. The Cyber Liability Insurance program also includes protection from actual loss or damage caused in defending violations of expanded HIPAA regulations under the HITECH Act, which provides for significant financial penalties. The MMR program is backed by an A-rated insurance company as reviewed by A.M. Best who underwrites the underlying Cyber Liability coverage extending to MyMedicalRecords– users.

The MyMedicalRecords PHR, available online at and through , is an interoperable, turnkey solution for patients and up to 10 family members to securely store all their protected medical information, regardless of the originating healthcare provider, in one secure location and safely access it wherever and whenever it is needed, especially in emergencies. Moreover, as patients take greater responsibility for their health and healthcare costs, having access to their complete medical history from any doctor, hospital or pharmacy is invaluable to help avoid unnecessary co-pays and duplicate testing and other costs of care.

MMR has invested millions of dollars in encrypted storage solutions for its systems resulting in an image-based document management solution that is effectively interoperable with Electronic Medical Record systems globally.
