Hi,

That's interesting. LLMD's are licensed doctors in exactly the same respects as

docs who specialize in infectious diseases. Oh, I see...your LLMD *could*

prescribe, but your insurance wouldn't cover it because the LLMD is out of

network.

How long were you able to get antibiotics covered by insurance with the ID

doctor?
