Share Your Experience with Medicare and Treatment Access

Patient Voice Matters

You are invited to take part in a short survey to help us better understand how people with chronic lung conditions navigate Medicare and access treatments.

Your insights will help us:

  • Identify what's working well
  • Better understand common challenges
  • Create tools and resources that truly support your needs

Whether you feel confident navigating Medicare or still have questions, your perspective matters.

Together, we can build solutions that make accessing care simpler and more supportive.

If you are 18+ and diagnosed with COPD, bronchiectasis, and/or NTM lung disease, take the survey now.

Join the COPD Foundation Patient-Powered Research Network (PPRN)

The COPD PPRN is a network of individuals with COPD who have agreed to share their health information and the impact the disease has on their lives. Operated by the COPD Foundation and governed by groups of patients and their partners, the information you provide is kept in a secure database to be used for research - ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of the disease.
