Why Allergy & Asthma Patients Prefer to Receive Their Biologic Therapies In-Office
The prevalence of asthma and allergies in the United States is significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 25 million people in the United States have asthma, which accounts for 1 in 13 individuals, along with the over 50 million Americans who experience allergies yearly.
As the understanding of these conditions has grown, biologic therapies have emerged as a powerful option for patients with severe or treatment-resistant asthma and allergies.
Biologic therapies, designed to target specific molecules involved in the inflammatory process, are a game-changer for many patients. These treatments have shown remarkable efficacy in reducing symptom severity and frequency, improving quality of life, and decreasing the need for corticosteroids.
Yet, access to these treatments remains challenging and inconvenient for many patients, prompting the need for innovative solutions such as in-office biologic therapy.

The Growing Demand for Biologic Therapy
The potential patient base is expanding as biologic therapies become more prominent in managing asthma and allergy symptoms.
Data shows that 79% of patients treated with biologics demonstrated clinical response, while 24% of those patients achieved clinical remission. These figures highlight the potential of these drugs in managing severe asthma and allergies.
Why Patients Prefer In-Office Biologic Therapy
Patient satisfaction is an important factor in treatment outcomes, and enhancing patient experiences based on their preferences has become increasingly popular as part of the growing trend of patient-centered care.
Here are some of the reasons why patients look for comfort and convenience when it comes to receiving their treatments:
Expert Monitoring and Immediate Care
Biologic therapies, while generally safe, can occasionally cause adverse reactions. Receiving treatment in a clinical setting administered by trusted professionals provides patients with peace of mind, knowing their chosen healthcare team is available to manage any immediate side effects.
Personalized Care and Support
In-office administration allows for consistent monitoring of patient progress. As a healthcare provider, you can adjust dosages and tailor treatments in real-time based on your patient’s response, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Enhanced Treatment Adherence
For patients already visiting your office regularly, receiving biologic therapy at the exact location eliminates the need for outpatient referrals, which many perceive as inconvenient and stressful. This perception can reduce treatment adherence and outcomes.
Insurance Navigation
Patients often find securing coverage for biologics challenging. In-office administration managed by Altus Biologics includes assistance with insurance verification and navigating prior authorization requirements, reducing patient stress, and ensuring that they receive timely treatment.
Improved Doctor-Patient Relationship
Regular in-office visits for biologic therapy reinforce your existing relationship with patients. This frequent interaction lets you stay attuned to your patient’s progress and evolving needs.
