Opening Remarks
We will cover:
• Definition of Asthma & COPD
• Evidence based guidelines for diagnosis,
evaluation, and management of asthma
• Evidence based guidelines for diagnosis,
evaluation, and management of adult with COPD
• Coding
• BC/BS services available to assist your practices
3
What is Asthma?
• Obstructive lung disease with
characteristics of:
– Airway obstruction; reversible in most patients
– Chronic airway inflammation (eosinophils)
– Increased airway responsiveness
• Onset of symptoms can occur at any age
4
Asthma
• 34 million people in the U.S. currently
diagnosed with asthma
• 7.1 million children are diagnosed with
asthma
• 1.3 million visits to hospital outpatient
departments with asthma as a primary
diagnosis
• Asthma costs exceed $30 billion/year
• Asthma in the U.S. is growing every year
5
U.S Department of Health and Human Resources Center for CDC: 12/2012
What is COPD?
• A common, preventable, and treatable
disease:
– Characterized by persistent airflow limitation
• Usually progressive
– Associated with an enhanced chronic
inflammatory response in the airways and the
lung to noxious particles or gases.
– Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to
the overall severity in individual patients.
6
COPD
• 16 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed
with COPD
• 15 million or more U.S. adults have COPD
that have not been diagnosed
• 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.
• Annual direct & indirect COPD Medical
Costs $42.6 billion

U.S Department of Health and Human Resources Center for CDC: 2007
Differential Diagnosis
Asthma
SUGGESTIVE FEATURES
SUGGESTIVE FEATURES
* Onset early in life (often childhood).
* Onset in mid-life.
* Symptoms vary from day to day.
* Symptoms slowly progressive.
* Symptoms at night/early morning.
* Long smoking history.
* Allergy, rhinitis, and/or eczema also
present.
* Dyspnea during exercise.
* Family history of asthma.
* Largely irreversible airflow limitation.
* Largely reversible airflow limitation.

COPD
Asthma vs. COPD
• Spirometry is required pre- and postbronchodilator to help differentiate
between Asthma and COPD
– Asthma = Reversibility
– COPD = No/partial reversibility
• Chest Xray – to order or not?
• Vaccinate for flu and pneumonia
9
Case Study
• 45 year old female presents to the office
with complaints of shortness of breath and
wheezing. She has a history of asthma.
10
History – Questions to ask
• Symptoms (wheezing, dyspnea, cough)
• Timing and Frequency
• Triggers
– Work environment: dust, fumes, chemicals
– Home environment: heating, mold, pets, dust,
roaches, cigarette/cigar smoke
– Exercise
– Upper Respiratory Infections
• Medications – inhalers, steroids and other
medications
11
• Smoking history
• Family history
Findings
•
•
•
•
Smoker – 1 ppd X 10 years, quit age 30
SOB and wheezing – daily
Uses albuterol inhaler 1x per day
Wakes at least 1 night per week with a
cough
• Becomes SOB with exercise
• Works at Chevy plant Monday – Friday
• 2 courses of oral systemic corticosteroids
last 6 months

Guidelines
16
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/asthma/asthma_qrg.pdf
Classifying Asthma Severity
• According to EPR-3 guidelines, the
member is classified as having moderate
persistent asthma
• Diagnosis = moderate persistent asthma
– Next - therapy
17
18
Step approach
– medications
19
Asthma Medications
Quick-Relief medication:
• SABA (Short-Acting Beta Agonists)
Controller medications:
•
•
•
•
•
20
ICS (Inhaled Corticosteroids)
LABA (Long-Acting Beta Agonists)
LABA/ICS Combinations
LEUKOTRIENE MODIFIERS
Miscellaneous (theophylline, cromolyn)
Next Steps
Education:
• Review Medications
• Review inhaler technique + compliance at
each visit
• Reducing exposure to triggers
• Review asthma action plan each follow-up
visit
• Smoking cessation assistance
• Vaccinate for flu and pneumonia
21
Asthma Action Plan
22
Follow-up: 2-6 weeks after initial visit
• ACT test – patient completes
• Assess level of symptom control with
current medication regime
• Medication compliance and technique
• Step up or step down, according to signs
and symptoms
• Patient education
• Referral to pulmonologist or allergist, if
needed
• Review and update Asthma action plan
• Encourage compliance
