Popis:	Panic disorder (PD) is a debilitating condition that drives medical spending at least twice as high as medically matched controls. Excessive utilization of healthcare resources comes from emergency department (ED), medications, diagnostic testing, and physician visits. Freespira is an FDA-cleared digital therapeutic that treats PD and panic attacks (PA) by correcting underlying abnormal respiratory physiology. Efficacy of Freespira has been established in prior studies. This paper reports on a quality improvement program that investigated whether treating PD patients with Freespira would reduce medical costs and improve outcomes over 12-months. Panic symptoms were assessed using the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS). Pre-and post-treatment insurance claims determined costs. At baseline, mean Clinician Global Impression (CGI-S) was 4.4 (moderately/markedly ill), mean PDSS was 14.4 and mean PA frequency/week was 2 (range 0–5). Immediately post-treatment (week 5) mean CGI-S, PDSS and weekly PA frequency declined to 2.8 (borderline/mildly ill, 4.9 (remission) and 0.2 (range 0–2) respectively, p
