How does reimbursement work for asthma education-has medicare approved payment for code CPT 98960? What is

your take on this? 

Can anyone provide a high level overview of the status of Medicaid reimbursement for AE-C services. I understand it's a variable from state to state. In particular, i'm interested in the status of the midwestern states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. thanks

CAn someone suggest an alternative to Albuterol that does not cause spasm and coughing. My patient is also  on Singulair bid and flovent bid but cannot tolerate abuterol.

Thanks

Does the CHAMPS clinic/home visit model make room for CHWs as asthma educators at either in the clinic setting but especially the home visit setting?  If so, can you share some outcome information if any about those efforts?

To All Presenters - Thank you for a very informative set of presentations and for the work that you do to improve asthma care! I am interested in the MCAN library but did not see it under Tools on the Community Network website. Could you please let me know where to find the library.

Than you

Our hospital isn't quite ready to start an intervention, but a lot of the handouts are useful.  It sounds like we can download and use the handouts.  Is the project also okay with slight modifications, adding an institution's name, phone numbers, etc... and citing the CHAMPS project?ZZ

A question for Dr Mitchell - The recent 2014 British/ Scottish Asthma Guidelines recommend educators not to recommend Hepa Fliters and dustmite encasements/ Your comment please.

How do they identify allergic sensitivity and how important is this?

Has anyone used allergy preventing mattress covers in their program? If so, did you use the zippered or non-zippered options?
