Better Breathing Grant Program

Never Let Cost Stand Between You and Breathing Better

Are insurance denials, high copays, or medication changes making it hard to manage your asthma?

Advanced Asthma Clinic is proud to offer free medication through our "Better Breathing Grant" program – because we believe everyone deserves access to the treatment they need.

Why We Created This Program

We've heard too many stories from patients who struggle to maintain consistent treatment:

"My insurance suddenly stopped covering my inhaler"
"They want me to try three other medications before approving what actually works for me"
"The prior authorization was denied, and I can't afford to pay out-of-pocket"
"I'm rationing my medication to make it last longer"

These disruptions don't just cause inconvenience – they can trigger serious asthma flares and exacerbations that affect your quality of life and may even lead to emergency room visits.

Insurance Shouldn't Dictate Your Treatment

Insurance companies often:

Change their formularies with little notice
Require frustrating prior authorizations
Implement "step therapy" that forces you to fail on cheaper medications first
Switch your medication to alternatives with more side effects
Leave you with unaffordable copays for the treatments that work best

At Advanced Asthma Clinic, we understand your frustration, and we've decided to do something about it.
