I only get to see my doctor in person every now and then. Now I have someone watching me every day looking for anything wrong.
NuvoAir gives me that safety net.

NuvoAir has helped me to be more alert when I am sick, because I can check if my lung function is down. I feel it has really helped me identify issues earlier.

Frequently asked questions

I’m a caregiver/home health aide. Can I sign up on behalf of my loved one?

Yes, you can sign up on behalf of your loved one. Click the button below to speak to our team and learn more.

Does NuvoAir work with my doctor?

Yes, NuvoAir can coordinate your care with your in-person providers including your primary care physician and/or pulmonologist. Our monitoring devices can notify them of any problems or flare-ups immediately.

What kind of monitoring devices does NuvoAir use?

NuvoAir uses several easy-to-use devices to monitor your lung health, including a spirometer, a pulse oximeter, and an activity tracker.

Do I have to pay for NuvoAir’s monitoring devices?

No, NuvoAir’s monitoring devices are covered by your insurance.

Do I have to pay for virtual care?

No, NuvoAir’s virtual care program is covered by your insurance.

Do I have to pay for this program?

No. Your health insurance covers signing up for NuvoAir. You may have to pay a small copay to meet with a physician, as you would for an in office visit, but your insurance plan will cover meetings with any other member of our care team (including nurses, health coaches, and respiratory therapists).

What about the MD I have now? Can I keep my MD?

Yes you can keep your main MD. We can do the remote monitoring for your lung health and loop in your MD on how you are progressing, so you don't have to switch MDs. If at some point you want to make that switch to NuvoAir, it is up to you and we can help you manage your lung health needs.

Is it covered by Medicare or Medicaid?

As of today it is covered by people enrolled in traditional Medicare, and the Medicare programs with United Healthcare, and Anthem. At this time, the program is not covered by Medicaid in Colorado. We hope to be covered under Medicaid at some point.

Can I still sign up for NuvoAir if my health insurance doesn't cover it?

Yes, you can still sign up with NuvoAir even if our program isn’t covered by your health insurance plan. You may just have to pay a higher copay as NuvoAir would be considered an out of network provider. To determine the exact copay, consult your health insurance plan for out of network provider copay information.  We can also add you to our mailing list so you’ll be notified when we start accepting your insurance. Talk to our team to learn more.

How do I know if I’m eligible for NuvoAir’s program?

We’re currently accepting patients who are located in the state of Colorado and through the insurance providers traditional Medicare, United Healthcare and Anthem.
