NEWS --

LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 26, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MMRGlobal, Inc.
(OTCBB: MMRF) (MMR) announced today it plans to offer U.S. Veterans the
opportunity to maintain all their medical records and personal hea lth
information directly in a MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record (PHR) located
at www.MyBlueButton.org. The service will be provided at no cost for the first
year as a thank you for their service to our country. Each account will cover
the Veteran and up to nine additional family members to securely store personal
health information, medical records and medical images in addition to any
important document needed in an emergency.

On August 2, President Obama announced the "Blue Button" initiative
(http://www4.va.gov/bluebutton) that allows U.S. Veterans to download their
personal health information from their My HealtheVet account. On April 30, 2011,
at a special event at the Playboy Mansion honoring Veterans and Operation Mend
at the UCLA Health System Medical Center, MMRGlobal will launch its
www.MyBlueButton.org website linking to its MyMedicalRecords Personal Health
Record. The Company's PHR can store the full range of medic al records, from lab
reports and doctor's notes to immunizations and X-rays and other medical images,
and also includes multiple special "lockbox" folders with secondary passwords
for other important documents such as military discharge papers, gun permits,
passports, birth and marriage certificates, insurance policies and deeds of
trusts.

"We appreciate the sacrifices made for our safety and security by the brave men
and women of our armed forces," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of
MMRGlobal. "Although no commercial enterprise can fully repay them, we want to
offer Vets the opportunity to use their 'Blue Button' to store their most
important records with the safety and security of our advanced patented
technologies on our www.MyBlueButton.org site. This way, Veterans can be assured
that their records can be shared in any emergency with doctors in or out of the
VA system from any Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world. At the
same time, our system ensures the highest level of privacy because users
maintain control over who has access to their records and the Company does not
use third party intermediaries to retrieve data. And unlike any other product of
its kind, users are protected by a one million dollar Cyber Liability policy
protecting their important information."

MMR's MyBlueButton.org program rides on the back of the government's "Blue
Button" initiative and branding and augments the Administration's national
calling for all Americans to have a Personal Health Record by 2014. Delivering
the most comprehensive PHR product in the marketplace today, the
MyMedicalRecords system is built on an integrated telecommunications platform
incorporating Internet, fax and phone to transmit and store personal health
information and other important data in one central secure online account with a
single sign-on. This provides for the ultimate flexi bility in communicating and
accessing information which the Company believes is necessary to accelerate
widespread adoption of Personal Health Records by 2014.

The MyMedicalRecords PHR also offers other valuable tools to help Vets and their
families have greater control over their health and better manage their lives
overall. In addition to its ease-of-use and availability in both English and
Spanish, the system includes a family health history, a drug database and drug
interaction tool that can automatically check for interactions between over
20,000 medications and also food allergies, and a reference center containing
information on 3,000 conditions and diseases. Importantly, there is a separate
Emergency Login that medical personnel and authorized users can access to
retrieve potentially life-saving information in a crisis situation; and each
account also comes with its own inbound and outbound e-fax capability which
further exp ands the options for quickly and easily sharing information.

According to Lorsch, "The service will be free for a year and then additional
years' subscriptions will be provided by our Company at prices well below the
cost of the personalized voice fax telecommunications services embedded in every
account. Our numbers show that 99 percent of all MyMedicalRecords users do not
cancel the service after the initial period. I also plan to work through the
Robert H. Lorsch Foundation Trust to identify non-profits that can underwrite
services for Veterans and their families in subsequent years."
