I am wondering if anyone here has been successful obtaining reimbursement for lab work, medications or Dr. visits from CT Medicaid. This is the only insurance my son has and he has just tested positive for lyme and babesia. I know this will be an expensive road ahead... Thank you so much for being here!

I don't live in CT, but i believe that with medicaid, as long as he goes to a facility that is covered by his insurance, the lab tests, medications, etc. should be covered.
Most LLMDs don't take medicaid or medicare to protect themselves from those who seek to remove their licenses.
I'm assuming that he will be seeing a LLMD. This is the better choice. The average doctor will not treat this appropriately.
You might ask the LLMD if they could lower his rates and explain the financial need that he has.

I am in CT and on Medicaid. I found that there are no Lyme Literate doctors in CT whatsoever that accept Medicaid. If you do see a LLMD in CT, you should do so knowing that you will not be reimbursed for the cost of the doctor visits.
When I paid out of pocket to see a LLMD, I found that my lab work and prescriptions were covered by Medicaid.
I hope this helps. Sorry it isn't better news.

There is one LLD in CT who accepts Medicaid. I see him as do several of my friends, and he sees kids too. Dr. S. He is pretty good and very caring.
