New condition-specific coverage offers $0 copays for preferred medications and select services to help eligible members manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
ATLANTA, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ambetter Health announced today that it will introduce Enhanced Asthma and COPD Care plans in Georgia for 2027, expanding its Ambetter Health Premier offerings for individuals managing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The new coverage reflects Ambetter Health’s focus on designing plans around members’ health needs while helping reduce out-of-pocket costs for condition-specific care.
The plans offer eligible members $0 copays for preferred asthma and COPD medications, including controller and rescue inhalers, as well as mental health medications. Benefits also include $0 pulmonologist visits, $0 allergy testing and $0 pulmonary rehabilitation services.
“These plans are designed to help members managing asthma and COPD access medications and specialist care with fewer out-of-pocket costs,” said Clyde White, President and CEO of Peach State Health Plan. “By designing coverage around members’ needs, we aim to make it easier for them to get care for their condition.”
The launch builds on Ambetter Health’s broader strategy of creating condition-specific coverage options that have demonstrated strong member satisfaction and engagement. Existing condition-specific plans have achieved a high member satisfaction rate and higher primary care engagement than traditional plans.
In addition to expanded plan options, Ambetter Health will continue offering a range of programs and benefits designed to help members access care and manage their health more effectively.
