Study: Cost of expanded Lyme disease care is low


A recent study finds that the cost of treating long-term Lyme disease would increase insurance policy rates by a scant thirteen cents. This low-cost projection could provide support for Massachusetts House Bill 989, which would require insurance carriers to provide coverage for antibiotic treatment lasting beyond 28 days.
A report released this week says insurance coverage of long-term antibiotic treatment of chronic Lyme disease would only increase insurance policies by about 13 cents.
