Lyme on a Budget with Teresa Holler MS PA-C

by Maria Rickert Hong

We will be interviewing Teresa Holler MS PA-C about Lyme on a budget, or how to address Lyme disease without breaking the bank, on Wednesday, May 29th at 1:00pm Eastern. Sign up below to join us.

Addressing Lyme Disease

Lyme disease can be devastating to health and to the bank account. It is hard to test for accurately, and the standard Western blot test is often not enough to confirm a diagnosis, meaning that additional tests that are typically not covered by insurance may need to be run. Like PANS/PANDAS (of which Lyme disease is a subset), Lyme disease is a clinical diagnosis. In addition, there are almost always co-infections such as bartonella, babesia and mycoplasma for which tests will likely need to be run.

Treatment for Lyme disease and its co-infections are usually not covered by insurance companies, and this can drive the cost of treatment into the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, especially if treatments such as IVIG or plasmapharesis are prescribed. In addition, many of the more-knowledgeable Lyme-disease practitioners don’t typically take insurance, which leaves patients to pay for treatment out of pocket.
