🏆 What People with COPD Actually Experience
90% love the program and stay with it
82% see their symptoms improve

103% better physical fitness scores
"I haven't been to the ER in 8 months. My Ansible doctor caught my last flare-up early and adjusted my medications over video call." - Maria S., COPD Patient
💰 The Relief: Most People with COPD Pay Nothing
Zero copays for most patients. Ansible Health works directly with Medicare, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana, and other major insurers to cover virtual COPD care.
Why insurance covers it: One prevented hospitalization saves them $15,000. Your better breathing saves everyone money.
🏠 Why Virtual Care Actually Works Better for COPD
No exhausting trips to medical buildings when you're already short of breath
More frequent check-ins without the energy drain of travel and waiting rooms
Your doctor sees your actual home environment and can suggest specific improvements for better breathing
Same-day access when your breathing changes - no waiting weeks for the next available appointment
Longer appointments because virtual practices aren't rushing you out for the next patient
💡 Game-Changer for Rural COPD Patients
If you live more than 30 minutes from a pulmonologist, Ansible Health eliminates the exhausting 2-4 hour round trips for specialist care. Many rural COPD patients delay necessary treatment because of travel barriers - virtual care solves this completely.
🩺 Hospital-Quality Doctors, Home Comfort
These aren't random telehealth doctors. Ansible Health pulmonologists come from Columbia Medical Center, UVA Health, and major VA medical centers - the same specialists you'd see at top hospitals.
Partnership network: Sentara, Carilion Clinic, HCA Virginia hospitals already refer their COPD patients to Ansible Health.
What this means for you: Expert care without expert-level waiting times or travel requirements.
📱 How It Works (Simpler Than You Think)
- Quick setup - Insurance verification and initial video consultation
- Your COPD plan - Personalized treatment strategy based on your specific breathing patterns
- Regular check-ins - As often as you need, usually weekly or bi-weekly
- Emergency access - Direct line to YOUR doctor, not random urgent care

No referrals. No prior authorizations. No 3-month waits.
