I have an llmd. I'm treating lyme,Babesia with both oral and iv abx.
I had to get a lawyer to help me with an Aetna disability denial.the lawyer wants me to see dr.k in conn to "help with my case"
Both my llmd and pcp support my disability.
I don't know how I feel about this. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Isn't this DR Lyme Literate?
Should be fine then.

Part of CT's law.
An insurer can deny coverage for Lyme treatment after two months unless there is a 2nd confirming opinion from a neurologist (Dr. K), rheumatologist or IDSA MD.
So it helps to have a confirming opinion from a MD with one of the 3 qualifications.
We took our daughter to K and he confirmed for our daughter but we still had a battle on obtaining reimbursement for the meds as she was always serological negative (especially for the mepron @ $900+ / M).
