According to my doctor s you rather have asthma or copd they say they are two different things so you can take your pick which one you want to diagnose on your letter. Hope this is useful to you. Richy
Hi
I would use both, COPD is a umbrella term for chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
If it’s not in the insurance dictionary, it will count as misleading information, which is not difficult with insurance.
