High-Deductible Health Insurance
Do you have a health insurance plan that offers less costly premiums but has a high deductible?
As you may have discovered, the deductible is the amount that you have to pay out-of-pocket before the policy kicks in. This amount is usually many thousands of dollars, in some cases tens-of thousands for family policies!
This comes as quite a shock the first time you try to use your health insurance to pay for a doctor visit, a prescription, or worse, get admitted to the hospital where your bill quickly grows to tens of thousands of dollars, INSTANTLY!
Ok, so like me, you have to pay out-of-pocket for the first several thousand dollars of medical services you need.
That means you will be shopping for the best value in medical products.
Best value means: highest quality + lowest price.
In my three decades of practicing medicine, I’ve seen so many patients with run-away, preventable disease whose illness got out of control because they did not got to a doctor earlier due to cost concerns.
That recurring theme motivated me to create a ‘clinic’ that IS affordable BUT delivers state-of-the-art asthma care for you.
Asthmaniac is that clinic, specially focused on delivering the medical stuff asthma sufferers need.
Stuff like:
- prescribed inhaler refills and controller medicines;
- a personalised asthma action plan to guide them in responding to the symptoms;
- an affordable online/on-phone doctor to coach them to greater health; and
- a convenient, organised, accessible place to learn more about asthma.
I deliver this package through Asthmaniac which you can access on your smartphone, tablet or home computer.
I keep my doctor visit price affordable!
If you have well controlled asthma, you need four doctors visits a year to make sure that you have all of your needed medicines prescribed, that your asthma hasn’t changed into a more severe type, and to make sure you know how to respond if your breathing gets worse.
A doctor in your back pocket, that you can afford, coaching you to greater confidence and less anxiety about your asthma, is a great value!
And if you have an HSA (Health Savings Account) with your high-deductible plan and need a receipt to reimburse yourself for your out-of-pocket Asthmaniac appointments –
I will make sure you have it!
That’s Asthmaniac!
