Breathe Easy relies on education and teamwork among the member, the physician and a registered nurse.
Members also receive a home visit from a nurse.
If you have moderate to severe asthma, it is important for you to learn all that you can about asthma, and to work with your physician to control it effectively. If you don't have one, ask your PCP for a written treatment plan for asthma self-management that includes either peak flow values or a symptom diary. Review your treatment plan with your physician at least once a year. Prevent asthma attacks by talking to your physician about medications such as inhaled steroids, cromolyn or leukotriene inhibitors. Use these medications as directed by your physician.
