MBF Asthma Management Program
The MBF Asthma Management Program is offered at no additional cost to members with asthma on selected levels of MBF hospital cover. Asthma is an inflammatory disease that makes airways prone to narrowing and increased mucus production. Asthma affects more than two million Australians and leads to increased absenteeism in the workplace and in schools. Read more about Health Conditions - Asthma.
The 'Guide to Positively Managing Asthma' has advice on diet and lifestyle management techniques. There is also an asthma quiz so that you can discuss the results with your doctor in order to improve your asthma management and quality of life. Download your Guide to Positively Managing Asthma.
'The Asthma Action Plan' helps you to develop a personal action plan in consultation with your doctor. It has advice on how to cope when asthma symptoms get worse or when you feel asthma is out of control. The plan enables you to keep a record of your medications that provides important information for your doctor in working with you to help prevent and better manage any acute asthma attacks.
Members who join one of our Positive Health Programs will also able to use MBF Private Access - a telephone-based support service staffed by registered nurses.
