Holy cow! Is that what the llmd charges for an appt and testing?

"It's $500 just to see the LLMD for 1 hr. Then hopefully he will help me order testing. The tests can range from $500-$3000 I think, depending on what panels are ordered. :/

"

Igenex was $200 for a long time.

My insurance (in USA) didnt like anything in my LLMD's clinic, even though I had 100% coverage for all the other conventional lab tests for Lab Corp, Quest ect. So those tests I just got an order from and had drawn at a local hospital, then they were 100% covered lol!! Saved a lot this way.

Testing for Lyme and coinfections or other labs? Like hematology, kidney, liver function etc

My main goal is to get tested for Lyme, Bart., Borr., etc. as I've been thoroughly tested for almost all other body systems / markers with my GP, neuro and rheum.

Keep in mind that testing for these infections have a high rate of false negatives.
Especially the coinfections.

And if you’re using a lab like labcorp or quest - they have higher rates of false negatives than the labs who specialize in tickborne diseases
( Igenex for one)

Thank you Girlie! I appreciate the advice.
