not sure about bc/bs covering it, but it is not much more than $100 (maybe $115 or right around there).

Good to know it's only around $100. I think that I will get a CD-57 test the next time I see my doc. I figure that if my levels are high then I know that I don't have Lyme and I just have to deal with my Babesia and Bartonella.

BCBS only uses Quest here in south Florida so I had to pay $150.00. When I told my LLMD he was irked that they charged me that much. He said for the amount it cost it really wasn't giving him much information. He then told his nurse that they should stop ordering the test.
