This is sort of a followup thread I am making where my current ILADs doc recommended I see Dr. H. for a three month Babesia trial (and I'll assume full treatment if I respond).
The price I got (approx) was around ***** for a three month trial.
For full Babesia treatment, I simply said it may take around a year or so, right... and be at least *****? I got a response of 'Definitely'... which made me think it'd be more than that.
And of course for that price I wouldn't even get to see the doctor, but a PA instead.
The prices include appointments + supplemental protocols and blood draws. It doesn't include medication costs.
I'm just wondering if these prices are normal for LLMDs who don't take insurance? And how do people afford them? For myself, it's not a matter of deciding to spend that much money, but simply the fact I don't have that much to spend to begin with.

Mine is no where near that amount, but then again, Dr H is supposedly one of the best at this.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware that wasn't allowed. First time I even looked into LLMD costs directly, as my current one takes insurance. If anyone has questions or answers for my post, please PM instead?
And no, that didn't include medication costs. I can offer the breakdowns I got, but I assume I can't post them here.
