Asthma management or asthma remediation is a personalized range of services designed to improve the quality of life through asthma symptom reduction. While there is no cure, controlling asthma and minimizing symptoms is possible. Breathe Southern California (Breathe SoCal) offers at-home asthma management services through its Breathe Easier™ Asthma Management (BEAM) program.
BEAM offers various services to those that participate, including:
Breathe SoCal’s health educators schedule a home visit. They ask about symptoms and current medication management. They then review the living space for potential environmental triggers. They make recommendations based on their findings and provide the necessary education and resources. If needed, they schedule a follow up visit.
These services are FREE for Medi-Cal members of any age. Breathe SoCal is currently in contract with the following insurance providers:
In January 2022, the Department of Health Care Services launched California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM). CalAIM allows community-based organizations to provide healthcare-related services through Community Supports. As a Community Support, asthma remediation is covered under CalAIM with no financial cost to the patient. Asthma remediation programs cover up to a payable total lifetime maximum of $7,500.
*Note: There is additional coverage for individuals who may not have the listed Medi-Cal managed care plans.
To participate in BEAM, you must live in either Los Angeles County or San Bernardino County. Your doctor must fill out a referral form for the BEAM program and must also provide confirmation of a formal asthma diagnosis. Once the referral has been submitted, a Breathe SoCal health educator will contact you within 48 hours. Please note: the referral process may vary depending on the insurance provider.
