Acute Tick Bite Telemedicine Visit

If you are experiencing severe symptoms right now, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department. Severe symptoms include but are not limited to high fever, severe headache, facial drooping or paralysis, severe joint swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, vision loss, or fainting.

This page is for both new acute tick bite visits and follow-up acute tick bite visits. A new visit is $375. A follow-up visit, for patients who have already had their initial acute tick bite visit, is $225. Complete the quick eligibility check below, then book and pay for whichever one you need.

• You are 13 years of age or older.
• You are not enrolled in or eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP.
• Your concern is an acute tick bite, recent in onset, not a chronic or ongoing condition.

What you get

• An initial video visit with Jamie Lorrigan, DNP, APNP, an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Lyme-literate and ILADS-member. About 60 minutes. $375.
• A Lyme-literate early treatment plan. Jamie may recommend antibiotics, targeted supplements, herbal antimicrobials, supportive care, or a combination, with the course length matched to your situation.
• Any prescription routed to your preferred pharmacy. Any recommended supplements or supports come with a clear list.
• Up to two optional follow-up video visits, generally at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the initial visit. $225 each, about 30 to 45 minutes, scheduled and paid separately.

How it works

1. Check your eligibility. The pre-screen above.
2. Book your visit. Use the booking widget to reserve a slot with Jamie Lorrigan.
3. Pay for the visit. Complete the checkout, $375 for a new visit or $225 for a follow-up.
4. Complete your intake form. Right after you pay, complete the short intake form. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes and must be completed within 24 hours of booking. Your spot is not guaranteed until it is done.
5. Have your video visit. Jamie Lorrigan reviews your answers with you, evaluates the bite, and decides on the plan. Any prescription is sent to your pharmacy right after the visit. Any recommended supplements or supports are shared with you in writing.
6. 4-week follow-up, optional. A $225 video visit to check on symptoms and review anything new.

Policies

• Video only. Every visit in this pathway is by video. You need a device with a camera and a stable internet connection. We do not offer phone-only visits for this pathway.
• Cancellation and no-show. Cancellation more than 24 hours before your appointment: 50 percent refund of the visit fee. Cancellation within 24 hours: no refund, plus a $50 late-cancellation fee. No-show without notice: no refund, plus a $50 no-show fee.
• Eligibility-hold refund. If we find after payment that you do not meet the eligibility for this pathway (Wisconsin location, age 13 or older, not on Medicare or Medicaid, acute and not chronic), you may request a 50 percent refund of the visit fee.
• Forms before visits. If your intake form is not done before your visit, we reschedule you once. If it is still not done at the rescheduled visit, the visit does not proceed and the fee is forfeited.
• This does not make you a regular GMW patient. This visit does not establish you as a regular patient of Green Medicine of Wisconsin. If you want ongoing care, you can apply through our regular new patient pathway afterward.
• Care ends at 12 weeks. This acute bite pathway covers the initial visit plus the optional 4-week and 8-week follow-ups, with care concluding 12 weeks after the initial visit.

FAQ

When will I be seen?

Jamie Lorrigan's availability is shown in the booking widget. Slots open as her schedule allows. Use the widget to see the next available time.

What treatment will I get?

Jamie Lorrigan follows a Lyme-literate, ILADS-aligned approach for an acute tick bite. The plan may include antibiotics, targeted supplements, herbal antimicrobials, supportive care, or a combination, with course length matched to your case. The exact decision is made on the video visit and depends on your history, the bite details, and any symptoms.

What if I cannot get to a video visit?

This pathway is video only. Wisconsin telemedicine rules require a real evaluation, and video is how we do it. If video is impossible for you, call the clinic and we will point you to the right alternative, which may be an in-person urgent care.

What if my form is not done before the visit?

We reschedule you once at no charge. If the form is still not done at the rescheduled visit, the visit is forfeited along with the fee. The form takes 5 to 10 minutes; do it right after you pay.

Do you take insurance?

No. This is a self-pay visit at $375. We cannot see patients who are enrolled in or eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP through this pathway.

Will I definitely get a prescription?

No. The intake form alone is not a prescription, and payment is not a prescription. Jamie Lorrigan evaluates you on the video visit and decides what is clinically right for you. Treatment may include antibiotics, targeted supplements, herbal antimicrobials, supportive care, or a combination. If a medication is appropriate, she picks the right one for your situation, taking into account pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, and other medications you take.

What to do about the tick right now

You can take these steps now whether or not you have booked yet. They help any provider give you better care.

1. If the tick is still attached, remove it. Use fine-tipped tweezers, grasp as close to the skin as possible, pull steadily without twisting. Do not crush it. Wash the bite area and your hands with soap and water.
2. Save the tick if you can. A sealed bag, a small jar, or tape on paper all work.
3. Photograph the tick and the bite if possible. Place the tick on a coin or piece of paper for scale.
4. Note the date, location on your body, and where you were when bitten. Geographic location matters because tick-borne disease prevalence varies by region.
5. Watch for symptoms. Bullseye rash, spreading rash, fever, joint pain, headache, fatigue, or unusual neurological symptoms. If any of these appear, call us at 920-651-3600. For the severe symptoms listed at the top of this page, call 911 or go to the emergency department.
