Everyone, I was contacted to help get information for Attorney General Blumenthal's investigation into the conflict of interest between IDSA treatment guidelines for Lyme disease and insurance companies.
I am looking for letters from insurance companies that would contain information that states that treatment was denied for lyme disease or any information from insurance companies questioning a diagnosis of lyme disease, etc. I would be happy to remove any personal information and keep the letters anonymous at your request.
If you have any info, please contact me and then we can discuss the best way in which to send me the information.
Thank you for your help in this very important issue.
Mailing Address: Office of the Attorney General 55 Elm Street Hartford, Connecticut 06106 email: [email protected]

Gee Wiz. I hope I still have that information. I think I do. I will dig it out today. It was the second half of 2002 and first half of 2003 that I fought that battle and R.B. helped me out getting coverage. It was a hard battle.

As far as I know once Blumenthal started the investigation Insurance Industry took a kinder way towards Lymies and they were just a few refusal. However, when the investigation is closed and results remain inconclusive they can do whatever they want with us.
