Asthma Disease Management/Chronic Care Improvement Program (DM/CCIP)
We offer an Asthma Disease Management/Chronic Care Improvement Program (DM/CCIP) for our members who have asthma.
What is asthma?
Asthma is chronic swelling of the airways. It may seem to go away, but the swelling can flare up at any time.
What does this program do?
This program can teach you how to manage your asthma. It can also tell you why managing your asthma is important. When you join the Asthma DM/CCIP, you will get helpful information about asthma several times a year. As part of our program, an Asthma DM/CCIP nurse is available to answer your questions. He/she can help you do the following:
- Understand your asthma
- Understand your asthma medicines
- Get the supplies and equipment you need
- Find and receive care from special providers who work with asthma
We may also let your health care provider know about your asthma. Your health care provider can help you with your asthma. Talk to him/her anytime you think your asthma is out of control.
Do you have questions?
If you have any questions about asthma, please call Member Services and ask to speak to the Asthma DM/CCIP nurse.
