What's the scoop on this lab, which tests for Lyme and coinfections? I believe they use PCR testing, which I don't know much about.

Has anyone had experience using this lab? Good? Bad? Otherwise?

Thanks.

They are so-so. Igenex is the best.

They probably except your insurance. As has been mentioned they are so so but if your insurance will pay for it why not try it. You may get a positive test, tho Igenex is a much better lab.

I did the Igenex test 9 years ago and tested positive for Lyme.

My insurance will pay for the MDL test, and my current doctor wants to check to see what may come up on it.
