Anyone had malarone covered?

So, my Babesia duncani titer has doubled, and my eosinophil cationic prot. levels have quadrupled. Doc and naturopath say that's a good sign--that the Arteminisin and cryptolepsis have kicked the parasites down enough that my body has begun to fight them again. Now I'm supposed to start taking malarone and Azithro, but the insurance co. is giving me a hard time about the malarone. It's something like $1000 out of pocket, $40 if it's approved. How can they deny coverage? Even the CDC has a page specifying malarone and Azithro as one of two preferred treatments for Babesia. And I have THREE blood tests showing positive titers--the most recent one showing the antibody levels doubling. I don't see how they can possibly deny coverage? Any suggestions to speed this up? I want to start kicking these bugs' butts in earnest asap.

Hmmm...suppose I could try Mepron if they deny the malarone. Doc was willing to prescribe either.

I guess I was lucky that my insurance paid for Mepron and now Malarone. Not sure what they think they are treating me for I do not ask the LLMD what he submits. I live in one of those states where they try to persecute the Dr's treating long term, so I go out of state and so far they have covered a lot.

Thanks for the responses. Dr. Boom, thanks for the advice. I live in Connecticut, so if all else fails I can even threaten to contact Senator Blumenthal. When he was atty. general he was responsible for legislation re insurance companies paying for Lyme treatment. Because I'm having a very bad day neurologically I cannot recall the details at the moment--but I know Sen. Blumenthal has been an advocate for Lymies in the past.
