A clinic-based blood test for Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by infected ticks. Suited to anyone bitten by a tick, or with a rash or flu-like symptoms after time outdoors.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test looks for markers of Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by infected ticks, using a blood sample taken at a Better2Know clinic. It is commonly used if you have been bitten by a tick, have a bullseye-style rash, or have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache or joint pain after time outdoors in areas where ticks are found.
As a single-marker test, it sits in the lower-middle band for clinical depth among the immunity and infection tests we track. On price, £145 is about 12% above the £129 median for similarly sized tests in this category, and Better2Know's own nurse-collected version of this same test costs £69, so the clinic route carries a clear premium for the convenience of a clinic appointment.
The listing sets out what to expect at each stage clearly, supporting a strong clarity score. It loses marks on results and follow-up, because there is no doctor review as standard; Better2Know says it will contact you within three days of a positive result to discuss next steps, but ongoing treatment decisions sit with a doctor.
This suits you if you would rather have your blood drawn in person at a clinic than by a home nurse visit, for example if you want to combine the appointment with another in-clinic test. If cost matters more than the appointment format, Better2Know's own nurse-collected Lyme kit checks the same single marker for £69, which is £76 less than this clinic version.
A blood sample is taken at a Better2Know clinic by one of their doctors and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within two working days of the sample arriving and are uploaded to your secure online patient area, with a notification by phone, email or text. If your result is positive, Better2Know says it will contact you within three days to discuss next steps; there is no doctor review built into the standard price.
This clinic-based Lyme disease test costs £145, about 12% above the £129 median for similarly sized immunity and infection tests we track, and Better2Know also offers the same marker as a £69 nurse-collected kit. It checks for one marker, and results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
