What is Asthmaniac?
Asthmaniac is the name of my podcast which is also the name of my telemedicine clinic.
My clinic, Asthmaniac.com, is 100% online. Using this online method, I can deliver phone and video-based encounters that focus on just your asthma.
These visits are designed to achieve stabilization of your asthma so you can avoid asthma attacks and enjoy worry-free breathing for an active life.
.
My strategy depends on making you the expert of your asthma.
This will allow you to react quickly to changes in your breathing.
It will also equip you to tell me how your asthma action plan is working, since you will really understand it.
What Makes Asthmaniac Different from a Traditional Clinic?
A 100% focus on asthma control.
It is based on National Standards and the most modern methods of asthma control.
It uses 100% online phone and video visits.
Doctor visits are priced at $50 each and you can pay online - no insurance needed.
It uses 100% electronic medication prescriptions - sent direct to your pharmacy.
It uses proven online symptom assessment.
It tracks lung function by Peak Expiratory Flow.
It delivers follow-up visits to assure effective control.
It gives you a usable and continuously updated Asthma Action Plan.
Why focus on Asthma?
There are many health problems facing all of us. I have spent 30 years learning about and treating them.
A few of these disorders stand out as being controllable.
Asthma is one of those. Asthma control has been the topic of extensive research which has led to the development of clearly defined treatment directions .
These guidelines for doctors to follow have been refined since first released in 1991 with updates in 2002 and 2007.
Despite these clear directions, asthma care remains poor in the U.S.
Asthmaniac is My Solution for this Problem.
Asthmaniac focuses only on asthma.
That allows me to really drill into the most current techniques for asthma control, patient education, and how to deliver care.
Asthmaniac is built around the well-defined National Standards for Asthma Care.
That means everything I recommend is state-of-the-art and based on evidence, science, and clinical practice.
Asthmaniac leverages smartphone and telemedicine methods
It is no longer acceptable to require you to come to a clinic when I can do everything that you and I need to accomplish by voice and video. Delivering doctor visits by phone and video is way less expensive for me which allows me to reduce the cost of the doctor visit for you.
It’s also more convenient for you to get your doctor visit from wherever you are, right?
No Insurance Needed
Your ability to get great asthma care should not be gummed up by an insurance issue. That’s why I keep the insurance companies out of our visits and keep the cost of the visit fair and reasonable for an out-of-pocket expense.
Electronic Prescriptions
It is kind of ridiculous in this electronic era that you’d have to take a paper prescription to the pharmacy for your medication. In my system, these medication orders are transmitted electronically. That keeps your care convenient and efficient and no paper to lose!...
