COPD Advocates — Helping You Breathe Easier Through Complex Pulmonary Care
Getting support shouldn't add to this burden.
Living with COPD means managing more than a breathing condition. An Amma advocate can help ease that burden by providing dedicated support tailored to you and your family's needs:
- Coordinate care between pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and primary care providers
- Help manage appointments, referrals, pulmonary function testing, and follow-up care
- Navigate Medicare coverage for oxygen therapy, respiratory equipment, nebulizers, and pulmonary rehabilitation
- Help coordinate care planning aimed at reducing exacerbations and preventing hospital readmissions

Managing Appointments &
Day-to-Day Care
COPD care involves frequent monitoring — pulmonology visits, spirometry testing, imaging, and ongoing follow-up to track disease progression and adjust treatment. On top of that, securing and maintaining oxygen equipment, navigating prior authorizations, and keeping providers aligned often falls on the patient. An Amma advocate helps coordinate the logistics of COPD care so patients can spend less time managing paperwork and more time focused on their breathing and quality of life.
Coordinated Pulmonary Care
Across Providers
COPD treatment often involves more than a single provider. Pulmonologists, cardiologists, primary care physicians, and respiratory therapists may all be involved in your care — and gaps in communication between them can lead to missed adjustments, delayed approvals, or conflicting instructions. Amma advocates serve as a central point of coordination, helping keep your care team aligned, your records organized, and your treatment plan moving forward without unnecessary delays.
Real Results. Real Relief.
"April has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my mom. One would think that as a practicing physician I wouldn't need this type of assistance but the modern medical system has become so complex and difficult to navigate I don't see how anyone does it without this type of assistance
She has bent over backwards to make sure that communication occurs in a closed loop fashion often using email, text and phone calls. This type of proactive assistance has helped us to do far more for my mom's condition that I would ever be able to coordinate on my own."
