Allergy Control Program for Employers
Lower costs, better health outcomes, more productive employees.
That’s what treating the root cause of allergy can deliver.
20% of people have allergic disease — including asthma, sinusitis, eczema, and more, but only a fraction get help that changes the disease. Without treatment, the result is a lifetime of symptoms that progress into other issues, ongoing medication and healthcare expenses, and needless suffering that impacts work and school.
If your self-funded group is looking to find ways to bring down the cost of chronic allergy and related disease, our Allergy Control Program may be a valuable piece of the puzzle.
Our program can help identify underlying allergies and modify the disease with sublingual immunotherapy, or allergy drops, to:
- Reduce or prevent related comorbidities from developing
- Reduce treatment costs from allergy and related disease – office visits, procedures and medication spend
- Improve adherence, productivity and reduce absenteeism through convenient therapy
- Efficiently integrate a treatment with validated outcomes seamlessly into workflow
“There is a great savings in time lost from work to pursue other avenues of immunotherapy. With an injection program, patients go to their allergist 1-3 times weekly, missing time from work. Once established with the ACP, appointment time a few times a year is short, the treatment is convenient, there is less money spent on all medications — OTC and Rx — which seems much better for your system.”

Implementing the Allergy Control Program is straightforward:
STEP 1: EDUCATE/TRAIN PROVIDERS & CLINIC STAFF ON PROTOCOL USE
We help activate a streamlined diagnostics and treatment plan using the La Crosse Method™ Protocol.
We equip your providers with the tools they need to successfully deliver care and create a seamless workflow to ensure consistency and better outcomes, including patient communication tools.
Our licensed pharmacy and industry-leading skin testing service provide support and expertise to guide providers through each step to confidently diagnose and prescribe custom allergy drop treatment for a wide range of patients.
STEP 2 — INCORPORATE BEST PRACTICES FOR SUCCESS
Once the providers and clinic staff are trained, we continue to support you through our best practices program.
- HIPAA-compliant provider portal to monitor patient adherence and easily create, track and manage treatment orders.
- Pharmacy staff and medical advisors can provide guidance and support for a broad range of patient cases and complexity.
- A Center of Excellence is available as a backstop for highly complex allergic cases needing referral to, or consultation with, an allergy specialist.
- Business development team available to help you analyze claims data to identify your true allergy costs; and to help target which covered lives could be the best treatment candidates.
