There are nearly 30 million Americans with chronic
respiratory diseases. For many of them, the staggering
cost of retail medications (up to $500 per month) have
been too much. Sadly, they have to choose between buying
drugs vital to there health or paying rent -- many choose
the landlord, and sacrifice their health.
The Respiratory Wellcare program provides a single point
of contact and clinical support center for patients
and physicians. We provide access to a comprehensive
range of patient support services, special medication
benefits and other homecare services. Our services include
special insurance reimbursement options with Medicare,
AARP, Blue Cross, Blue Shield and 186 other
insurance carriers.
Respiratory disease is the fourth leading cause of
death, and the number one disabler of American workers.
Approximately, 10 percent of all hospitalizations
and 23 percent of nursing home admissions are attributed
to the patients inability to manage or follow drug
therapy. Of the 1.8 billion prescriptions written
each year, more than half are taken incorrectly. Chronic
sufferers who start feeling better usually skip doses
or stop taking medications all together. Patients
may not realize their improving health is only temporary.
As a result this noncompliance sends thousands of
people back into hospitals and nursing homes. Over
100 billion is spent annually in related emergency
room visits occurring in the US.
