Summary

Lyme and Infectious Disease Information and Fairness in Treatment (LIFT) Act - Establishes the Tick-Borne Disorders Advisory Committee in the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Directs the Committee to advise the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary of HHS and the Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner regarding how to: (1) provide public input on the public's needs regarding tick-borne disorders (lyme and other infectious diseases) so that government agencies can coordinate and more effectively plan and execute their activities; and (2) develop informed responses to constituency groups regarding the efforts and progress of the HHS and SAA. Authorizes appropriations to: (1) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to focus on developing better diagnostic tools and tests, expanding educational efforts, and re-educating clinicians, medical license boards, and health care insurers about the inappropriate uses of the Lyme disease case surveillance definition in patient diagnosis and treatment; and (2) the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine to increase risk assessment evaluations of U.S. military bases in the United States for all tick-borne disorders, and continue to study preventive methods to decrease troop exposure to tick-borne disorders. Requires the Director of the National Institutes of Health to coordinate activities and research regarding tick-borne diseases across Institutes to encourage collaborative research.
