I have...My insurance is BCBS of IL..our plan is actually a self-insured plan from my company which is managed via BCBS of IL.
I used to hate my insurance before I was Dx'd for lyme. But...now that I have a chronic illness, I have to say they have been great. As long as I pay my deductible, they rarely reject anything.
The only thing they refuse to pay is my CD-57 test which is about $50.
I have heard BCBS of Mass flat our refuses to pay for SPECT scans. I don't get how insurance companies can deny treatment when the doctor says it is necessary.
-------------------- Bite date ? 2/10 symptoms began 5/10 dx'd, after 3 months numerous test and doctors
IgM Igenex +/CDC + + 23/25, 30, 31, 34, 41, 83/93

My child's spect was covered - needed some sort of pre-authorization - by UHC. My son had neurological issues from the office exam, so that was probably a justification.
-------------------- Me - Igenex: IgM: 41IND, IgG: 39IND, 41+ but Plasmid PCR Positive Kiddo - after 1 year IV - positive Lyme culture (before IV: IgM:31,34,41,83-93 IND; IgG: 41+++, 66+) Posts: 133 | From CT | Registered: Feb 2011

Mine showed -3 & -4 standard deviations of perfusion (blood flow) to the frontal and temporal lobes. Quite bad and most likely responsible for the cognitive issues I combat constantly. Trying heavy anti-oxidant therapy to see if it helps... nothing so far. Awesome.
