Evidence-based Interventions: Payers

• Use the 2007 National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP Guidelines) as part of evidence-based clinical practice and medical management guidelines.
• Promote strategies that improve access and adherence to asthma medications and devices.
• Expand access to intensive self-management education by licensed professionals or qualified lay health workers for patients whose asthma is not well-controlled with the medical management approach outlined in the NAEPP Guidelines.
• Expand access to home visits by licensed professionals or qualified lay health workers to provide both targeted, intensive self-management education and the reduction of home asthma triggers for patients whose asthma is not well controlled through use of both NAEPP Guidelines’ medical management and asthma self-management education.
