Seeking a doctor for my son. It looks like we are going to have to travel. Who is the best option? How long is the usual waiting period? What is the typical cost? We have insurance that has covered the treatment so far. Do they take insurance? Thank you

Pediatric list sent, along with info.
Cost varies from state to state.

PM sent for CT.
Most LLMD's do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease and its complex treatment.
Waiting periods vary, but the best LLMDs have months-long waiting lists. Your best bet would be to call every day for cancellations.
Costs also vary with each doctor. You pay them and then submit the bill to your insurance. I think the reimbursement rate is for "out-of-network" providers.

He is a saint and I show this to help illustrate how MD's have been prosecuted so normal MD's shy away from doing anything but following the flawed IDSA guidelines.
