A recent Wall St Journal article outlined some of the potential concerns about MyMedLab, including the lack of coverage by health insurance companies and the ability of consumers to interpret their lab test results.

MyMedLab says that results are interpreted by one of the company's doctors and put in the user's PHR. MyMedLab encourages users to share their test results with their own doctors. David Clymer, CEO, commented on ReadWriteWeb that "once you know your numbers you can begin to make informed decisions, formulate a plan, and track your progress over time".
