I was diagnosed last week. I know I'm in for the long haul and all that...Is there any progress politically to change the fact that insurance doesn't cover lyme? My insurance has spent over 100,000.00 on me trying to figure out what this is. Wouldn't it make sense to diagnose, treat, and send me on my way? I've seen multiple Infectious disease dr's at the Cleveland Clinic that flat out agree that it's not right. Why is nothing getting done and what can we do as a group to change this? I can't accept being powerless..

I don't know too much about this but am pretty sure your insurance should cover as long as the DR you are going to accepts that insurance AND if you are CDC positive of course. DO not waste your time at an infectious disease dr. Go to a LLMD, you can find one on the find a doctor link on this website. OR someone there can point you in the right direction. My insurance covers my monthly visits to my LLMD, all my bloodwork and my prescriptions. I am blessed in that sense. Also, I have felt powerless since the day I found out I had this desease. Best of luck to you.

Even when my doctor quit taking insurance, my ins would reimburse me for part of it.
