While Fry make find the most positives and Quest is not reliable, can anyone recommend others that participate with insurance and are decent?

I've come up negative on Babesia through IGenix (FISH assay). I was tested for Bart through an ID and negative. I assume in most of your opinions, this is insufficient testing to truly rule out these co-infections.

Does MDL Labs do co-infections?

MD Labs is the only one I know who takes my insurance (BCBS).

The rumor is that MDL has changed the cutoff points on testing and they are now producing a lot more negative results. But if you need to use insurance, maybe worth one try.
