Chronic Illness and Lyme Associated Diseases

Chronic Illness and Lyme Associated Diseases

We are pleased to offer care for borreliosis (Lyme Disease) and related conditions. Because of its complexity, the charges for these services are different from those of our primary care services.
 

Be aware that the initial visit will be $400 for the visit and is due at the time of your visit..  Plan to spend 1-½ to 2 hours at the office for your first appointment.  We do not accept insurance, but can provide an itemized receipt that you can submit to insurance for reimbursement. 

The cost of labs is not included in the appointment fee.  We will discuss which labs we recommend and the associated costs prior to ordering. 

The prices below are based on a $400 per hour rate as patients with complex illness require more care than primary care patients.

  • With the exception of traditional Medicare (not HMOs or PPOs), insurance companies do not pay directly for specialty labs. This is not our policy, it is theirs.  Payment is due at the time of service.  You will be provided an itemized receipt with diagnosis and lab codes that can be submitted to  insurance or other third party payers for out-of-network reimbursement.  The rate of reimbursement varies widely from plan to plan.
