NEWS: Lyme-TAP program helps pay for needed lab testing
After a brief hiatus, Lyme-TAP (Testing Access Program) is back in operation with a new website. Lyme-TAP is a nationwide assistance program helping patients with financial hardship pay for Lyme-related diagnostic testing.
It helps pay for diagnostic testing related to Lyme disease, other tick-borne illnesses and CD57 status. The program will provide reimbursement for up to 75% of the patient’s out-of-pocket costs of testing from any CLIA/Medicare-approved laboratory of the patient’s choice. Conditions apply, funds are limited and priority is given to children.
For more information & application forms, please visit the new website at www.lymetap.com.
How will the testing help when I’ve had an abundance of Western Blots and at least two ELISAs, and the last doctor I asked to give me the QRIBb, wouldn’t because he said everybody in the area with Fibromyalgia would be asking for it, too. He said he was in the Alan Steere Camp…which must believe that it is better to die slowly on painkillers than to be cured of Lyme. Just WHO made them safe from impunity for just letting people die without any personal remorse? It wasn’t God…of this I am certain. They keep breaking their “Do no harm,” code over and over again.
