Without any additional info requested or an appeal, we are getting covered

for the band!!!! We are the first at our clinic to get any coverage! I was

prepared to appeal and fight like a dog with the insurance company, not

necessary!! What a relief!!

We also, finally, have Cole's pressure spots on the mend. We took him on

vacation to S.C. last week and had a few people stop dead in their tracks at

the airport to stare, but we don't even care anymore. Funny how once Mommy

and Daddy get used to looking at it, you don't care about other people

looking anymore. (The band was nice extra protection on the airplane when

he started getting squirmy and throwing himself against the window and

seats! )

Congratulations!

We're just at the start of our insurance fighting process (and it always

seems to be a fight, no matter what it is!)

What insurance companies is everyone using? Are any better than others?

From this group I've gotten some hints on how to convince them of the

necessity, but some " comparision shopping " wouldn't hurt :-)

We're currently with Aetna, and seem to always have problems with them.

Has anyone else successfully gotten covered for either a helmet or band

through Aetna?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm in Canada, so most of our medical things are covered, but we do still

have to pay for prescriptions, dental and such. I once had Aetna

covering these such things thru a benefit package at work and they were

a BIG PAIN IN THE @#*!!!!! over even these little issues!! My employer

quickly changed to Green Shield after a year of hassle. Just

my experience.
