I spoke with my insurance this morning, and they told me that they have approved my daughter for six months of IV abx.
To say the least, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I am still pinching myself. Before this morning, I was so stressed out that I didn't know what to do with myself. Thank you GOD!!!

Wow, that is fantastic! Hope this helps your daughter significantly. I am waiting to hear from my insurance now for 3 months of IV. I doubt they will ok it as I did not test positive for lyme. Did your daughter have a positive test?

Yes, Cattail, she was Igenex positive. We have never done any other testing. She was treated for bart on a clinical diagnosis and we saw major improvements in her brain fog.

Congrats! Did your doctor's office request pre-approval or was it something you did on your own?

HI Kidsgotlyme, Congratulations! Awesome news
Can you say what your insurance company is?
thx, racer

The infusion company that we are using sent in all the paperwork for us, but I called every week to check on the progress.
My husband works for a great company that is very good to it's employees. They use a big name insurance company, but they are basically a self pay company.

Well, I hope this is for real. Make sure those bills go in promptly and follow up quickly to make sure they are paid.

Yes, Lou, I hope it's for real too. They are supposed to be sending me a letter of approval next week.
