Why have “my MedBio”?

responsibility between you and your health care provider. During a
health care encounter, your personal health information can be a
critical determining factor to the nature of treatment that must begin.
Your provider many times only has access to what you give them. Since
your complete personal health information may be spread through many
different physicians and facilities, it is absolutely necessary to have
your medical record organized in one place. Subsequently during an
encounter with medical personnel, we inevitably may forget some
significant piece of information or may not be able to communicate at
