Dr. _____________________________________,        Date: ______________   I am pleased to inform you that our mutual patient, ___________________________________, has chosen to participate in the Texas Pharmacy Association Medication Therapy Management Pilot Project. This program provides self‐care education, frequent monitoring, and structured patient accountability in a multi‐collaborative setting consisting of the patient, pharmacist, and practitioner, with the goal of coordinating guideline‐based1 asthma care to improve patient outcomes.  As part of the project, a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR) and Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Session was recently performed here at      _______________________________  . The purpose of this MTM Session was to help our mutual patient manage complex drug therapies used for asthma.  During this session, several items were addressed regarding our patient’s asthma, including the frequency, severity, and nature of our patient’s symptoms, the amount of exacerbations within the past year, and the amount of asthma‐related hospitalizations within the past year. We also discussed the development of an Asthma Action Plan based on symptoms and peak flow meter results, and education was provided regarding when and how to implement the Asthma Action Plan.  Based on this information, I would like to recommend for your approval the following drug therapies for our patient’s Asthma Action Plan. Our patient understands that these drug therapies at these doses are to be used solely for acute asthma exacerbations and are based on severity of symptoms and peak flow meter results (see below). Furthermore, our patient has been educated on identifying and recognizing the current status of their asthma during an acute exacerbation, as well as what steps should be taken.    GREEN ZONE:  No symptoms of exacerbation; Peak flow ≥ 80% of personal best 

Continue long‐term control medicines each day  

  YELLOW ZONE: Moderate symptoms of exacerbation; Peak flow 50 – 79% of personal best Albuterol for quick relief; Prednisone regimen if necessary  

  RED ZONE:  Severe symptoms of exacerbation; Peak flow < 50% of personal best       Quick‐relief Albuterol AND Prednisone regimen; Seek medical attention  On page 2 of this fax, you will find our patient’s information, as well as a few drug therapy options and dosages for your selection. Please select ONE Albuterol dosing regimen and ONE Prednisone dosing regimen for our patient, and I will ensure that our patient receives additional counseling regarding the use of these medications for the treatment of an acute asthma exacerbation. Thank you for your support of the Texas Medicaid Medication Therapy Management Pilot Project and our efforts to coordinate guideline‐based1 asthma care.  Sincerely,  _____________________________________________     , R.Ph. ¹ National Asthma Education and Prevention Program. Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma: Summary Report 2007. Bethesda, MD: National Institutes of Health, US Dept of Health and Human Services, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; 2007.

Allergen Testing Referral Form Date: ____/____/_______

Dr. ____________________________, Our records indicate that your patient, _____________________________________, has not been tested for common respiratory inhalant allergens that may be contributing to their asthma symptoms. The NIH Guidelines for the Management of Asthma recommends the assessment of allergic triggers in all patients diagnosed with persistent asthma. Specifically, all patients prescribed a daily medication to control their symptoms should be tested to reliably determine their sensitivity to inhaled allergens. In vitro IgE testing has recently been approved to be paid for by several Texas Managed Medicaid Plans (listed below).

Typically, Asthma Action Plans for adults and children include a checklist of asthma triggers, both allergic and non-allergic. However, without information gained from IgE testing, documentation of a patient's specific allergic triggers is limited to qualitative information provided by the patient. Elevated specific IgE test results, when consistent with patient history, symptoms, and clinical exam, support the diagnosis of allergy and allow for more effective management of the allergy, including pharmacotherapy. If you have not done so, you may order the IgE testing from the lab corresponding to the patient's Texas Managed Medicaid Plan as indicated below. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me using the contact information provided below. Thank you for your commitment to improve the care of your patient with persistent asthma. Sincerely, _________________________________________ Phone: _______________________________ Fax: ______________________________ Email: _______________________________________
