Lyme Disease patients often face numerous challenges in their quest for proper diagnosis and treatment, including the issue of insurance coverage. Many insurance companies limit coverage for Lyme Disease treatment to a short course of antibiotics, leaving patients with persistent symptoms to bear the financial burden of additional treatments.
The Lyme Disease Alliance of Pennsylvania PAC is committed to addressing this critical issue by advocating for expanded insurance coverage for necessary blood work, medical interventions, and long-term treatments. By working with legislators and insurance providers, we aim to ensure that all Lyme Disease patients in Pennsylvania have access to the care they need to regain their wellness.
Securing insurance coverage for comprehensive Lyme Disease treatment is vital for several reasons:
- Early intervention is crucial in the successful treatment of Lyme Disease, and limited coverage can lead to delays in diagnosis and therapy, resulting in more severe and long-lasting symptoms.
- Patients with chronic Lyme Disease often require extended courses of antibiotics or alternative treatments, which can be costly and may not be covered by insurance.
- The financial burden of out-of-pocket expenses for Lyme Disease treatment can have a significant impact on patients and their families, leading to debt, job loss, and emotional distress.
By supporting the Lyme Disease Alliance of Pennsylvania PAC, you can help us advocate for improved insurance coverage for Lyme Disease patients and bring hope to those affected by this debilitating illness.
