Looking for a LLMD in Maryland that takes insurance

I know this is an old thread, but since people are still using it, I'll comment.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I see a regular family doctor who is LL. Frequently told by everyone who knows someone who has Lyme that I'm seeing the best. I also have good insurance that covers most of the visit, but I AM concerned this could change at any time, because the amount they bill me is different every time I go. For now, I have an HSA paying the balance, but that will soon run out.

That being said, it's difficult to get appointments and the office runs things pretty strictly just because of the controversy and danger. They will not always file paperwork for you or answer calls from the insurance company.

I might not get all the alternative advice and fancy options - I take the abx and it works for me, in addition to getting support from my ND. I get help on forums like these, but I try not to tell them how to do their jobs. I share my concerns and well-tracked symptoms, and let them work it out.

So while yes, finding an LLMD who takes insurance is difficult, it's not impossible, and just because you found one doesn't mean he/she is a quack. It's an awful game to play while your'e already sick and scared and paranoid about everything... but this is one more reason to be vocal about it to our friends and family. The bigger the network, the more people can be prepared to help each other when the tick bites.
