I have an 8 year old with PANDAS who I would also like to have tested for Lyme. Can you send me a recommendation for someone in the No VA area who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield? Thank you!

Your 8 yr. old needs to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
Most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
When calling for an appointment, ask if they have any cancellations or a waiting list. Patients have been able to get in sooner to see a LLMD by doing this.
