• Do you or your child have asthma?

  • Managing your asthma

    Avoid these common asthma triggers or remove them from your home:

  • • Animal dander from pets. Keep animals out of the
      sleeping areas of the home at all times.
    • Dust mites - wash bed sheets weekly in hot water.
    • Pollen - keep windows closed from late morning to afternoon
      when pollen is highest.
    • Smoke - do not smoke and do not allow people to smoke 
      around you.
    • Cold air - cover face on cold, windy days.

  • Set up an Asthma Action Plan with your doctor. This can help you know what to do if you have an asthma attack. Let your family and friends know the plan. Tell your doctor if you are having more symptoms.

  • Use controller medication every day as directed by your doctor. If you need to use the rescue inhaler more than 2 times per week, your asthma may not be well controlled.

  • See your doctor twice a year for asthma follow up.

Important Transportation Announcement

Starting July 1, 2011, the Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus program will provide transportation services to all Standard and Benchmark members no matter where you live. In the past, Dean Health Plan scheduled rides for members who lived in Dane County only. The BadgerCare Plus program has arranged with LogistiCare Solutions, LLC, to provide this service. You may be contacted by LogistiCare and/or be notified by the State of Wisconsin to let you know about this change.

After July 1, 2011, Dean Health Plan will no longer schedule cab rides. You will be referred to LogistiCare instead. You can contact LogistiCare at 1-866-907-1493, or for hearing impaired call 1-866 -288-3133. It is very important that you contact LogistiCare two days ahead of time to ensure transportation.
