Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Absolutely. If the primary insurance denies, but the transplant meets Medicare guidelines, then there would not be any problem billing Medicare/Medicaid in the secondary & tertiary levels.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 As i am new in dealing with this seems like every time i take my 2nd puff on my daily med i wind up coughing it out, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 , that is a very good question. I generally reassess about once a year. However with any major changes such as med changes or climate changes your asthma can change. If it seems to be getting worse, you should definitely see your doctor. I would not just simply reassess. You may need a different controller or have an underlying infection or any number of things. Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Its interesting that you have never changed your peak flows..have you always lived in the same general area? My peak flows increased dramatically when we moved from Florida to Georgia...to the point where I now am in trouble at the same peak flows as what were normally my green in Florida. My bests in Florida were between 450-490..yet this is where I was at when I went to the ER a few weeks back and they couldnt hear me moving air. In FL, at that range I was in good control and breathing just fine. My normal "bests" here range from 550-580 with an occasional 600 thrown in for kicks. The difference in my ox. sats at the ER in Florida (98%) vs 95%, and the difference in my lung sounds here seems to support that I run into trouble here at my Florida levels. In NY I didnt really track my peak flows because I was never educated to do it for one and secondly because the only times I ever had troubles were when I had bronchitis. In Florida I started having issues depending on the pollen season so I educated myself about peak flows a bit more and started doing them regularly. I found it very interesting to see the differences in my peak flows...but I also found it very interesting that Madelines docs told her to avoid the Gulf Coast, which is where I lived in FL. Since leaving the Gulf, you can see my peak flows have drastically changed...in less than 6 months. I guess what Im saying is that it might be necessary to re-evaluate if you move from one region to another, or if you are finding that you are consistently reaching higher peak flows over a long range time (a couple months) and that you are having troubles at your old "bests" like I did. My Florida bests got me 4 neb treatments in a week, a week of 60mg of Pred and another week of yellow zone peaks before I finally stabilized back into my green zone this week. Im not back to the 550-580 range, but Im close..in my low green. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi Ann: I've always lived on Long Island in New York. I could understand moving to another part of the country would change your peak flows, the environment is different containing its own particular set of allergens that grow in each region, or even one county. My normal is 430-480 green range, 280-430 yellow, and red below 280. At 200-230 I require a neb treatment. If I do not respond using mine at home, time for a hospital visit, especially if 200 or less before I get critical.
