Your Home Is Literally Making You Sick (And Your Insurance Will Fix It For Free)

Asthma Remediation – Environmental Home Modifications

Every time you walk into your apartment, you start wheezing. You lie in bed at night and can't catch your breath. You've been to the emergency room three times this month because your asthma won't stop attacking you.

You've got your rescue inhaler in your pocket. You take your maintenance meds. You're doing everything "right." So why can't you just... breathe?

Here's what nobody tells you: Your home itself might be the problem.

And here's the crazy part: If you have Health Net or Health Plan of San Joaquin Medi-Cal coverage, there's a program that will come into your home, identify exactly what's making you sick, and fix it—completely free.

Mind-blowing fact #1: Environmental triggers are responsible for 50-80% of asthma attacks in adults. That's not your fault. That's not a failure on your part. That's your apartment's fault. Your bedroom's fault. Your kitchen's fault.

A home inspector discusses asthma triggers and remediation strategies with a concerned mother and her child, highlighting common issues like dust mites, mold, and poor ventilation.

The Invisible Enemies Living in Your Home

Let me paint a picture: You're sleeping in a bed that's infested with dust mites. Your landlord's never fixed the water damage in the corner, so there's mold growing behind the wall. There's a cockroach problem you're embarrassed to tell anyone about. Your neighbor's chain-smoking seeps through the walls. The carpet is so old and filthy it's basically a petri dish of allergens.

Each one of these things sends your immune system into fight-or-fire mode. Your lungs react. You wheeze. You panic. You end up in the ER at 2 AM.

Here's what Asthma Remediation actually does:

• A professional comes to your home and does a comprehensive environmental assessment

• They identify exactly what's triggering your asthma (dust mites, mold, pests, pet dander, smoke, poor ventilation)

• They recommend specific fixes

• Your Medi-Cal plan pays up to $7,500 to implement those fixes

That means:

• New mattress and pillow covers that block dust mites

• Professional-grade HEPA air purifiers and replacement filters

• Mold removal and remediation

• Integrated pest management (getting rid of roaches and rodents without poison)

• Ventilation improvements

• Dehumidifiers to control moisture

• Air conditioning units if heat and humidity are triggers

• Even carpet removal and replacement with hard flooring

The Money Part That Should Shock You

Do you know what a HEPA air purifier costs? $200-$500. A dehumidifier? $150-$300. Professional mold remediation? $2,000-$5,000. Carpet removal and replacement? $2,000-$8,000. Integrated pest management? $300-$1,000.

Your one hospital visit for an asthma attack costs $3,000-$15,000. Your three hospital visits this month? You did the math.

Mind-blowing fact #2: Studies show that asthma remediation services reduce emergency room visits by up to 40% and prevent approximately one hospitalization per person per year. Translation: By fixing your home, we keep you out of the ER. By keeping you out of the ER, your health plan saves money. By your health plan saving money, they're willing to pay for your home fixes.

This isn't charity. This is smart medicine.
