insurance navigation
Intervention subjects will be offered access to AAFA's chat bot and navigation services. The chat bot is an artificial intelligence-enabled interactive online tool that can answer clinical and insurance-related questions and provide information on coverage options and how to find lower-cost alternatives for asthma care. Intervention participants will be given a link to access the chat bot. They will also be provided with information about AAFA's insurance navigation program, how it can help with finding coverage and managing asthma costs, and how to access it within AAFA's asthma community platform. Subjects can access AAFA's community platform and join the private group where they can ask questions and share resources, with moderation by AAFA staff. They will be able to send private messages to an AAFA navigator who can provide support about insurance issues, access to asthma care, and assistance with asthma costs. The navigator will offer telephonic follow-up as needed.
