Legislation
- CT Legislation Updates Here
- 2009 Substitute House Bill No. 6200 Public Act No. 09-128 AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF LONG-TERM ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE TREATMENT OF LYME DISEASE: Connecticut passed legislation in 1999 that requires that health insurers provide not less than 30 days of intravenous antibiotic treatment, or 60 days of oral antibiotic treatment, or both. Also, insurers are required to provide further treatment if recommended by a certified board of rheumatologists, specialists of infectious disease, or a neurologist. In many cases, insurers have not requested this secondary opinion, and as the law states “not less than…”, unlimited antibiotic treatment is often the case.
