I know that in some states LLMDs can be expensive and there are not many of them to go around. And certainly, most can't accept insurance due to the risk of losing their medical licenses for treating outside of the ineffective and (IMO) criminal CDC guidelines. I just discovered a newer test that looks at Lyme and coinfections. You currently don't need a doctor to order it, so you can pretty much test yourself.

At the time of this post, the cost of the test is $500, which is expensive, but I know that some in demand LLMDs might charge up to $1500 for your first appointment, which might not include any testing.
