Re: Starband cost and Star Scanner?

[Guest guest]

,

Our son's helmet cost $1500. We paid 10% of that and the insurance paid the

rest. The scanner I don't think cost any extra, part of the treatments and

checkups as far as I know.

-Jenna's STARband here in missouri was 1500 including the band and

all appointments. Hope this helps.

Hi & welcome!

STARband cost vary from orthotist to orthotist. There is not one set

fee for the STARband. I'd say avg price is about $1,500.00, but have

read of some STARbands costing almost $3,000.00 (with or without the

STARscanner).

Where are you going for your band? Maybe we have someone in your area.

We've had many members w/children in the STARband using the

STARscanner. In fact, our moderator just added her son's b & a

STARscanner report in our " FILES " section " STARscanner " if you'd like

to see what a report looks like. Her son rec'd great correction

We didn't use the STARBand, but the company we were going to use

charged $1500 per band, all adjustments were included.
