Rally calls for fair insurance coverage of Lyme disease treatments
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – A rally was held on the steps of the Capitol Tuesday where attendees asked for fair insurance coverage of Lyme disease treatments. Corwin and her children have Lyme disease and serious co-infections caused by the disease. "There is such a thing as chronic Lyme disease," Sen. Stewart J. Greenleaf (R-Montgomery/Bucks) said. Senate Bill 100, sponsored by Greenleaf, would require insurance companies to cover longer term antibiotic treatments, closing the insurance gap and giving families some financial relief. Insurance companies are not required to cover the cost of treatment after that and often considers the treatments experimental.
