Re: Starband Orthomerica Mistake!/Krissy

[Guest guest]

Krissy,

Miami is about a 6 hour drive from me. (I am in Gainesville.) Yes I

got my money back for the STARband but it wasn't easy. I didn't have

to deal with the insurance because the facility I was going to for

the STARband never billed my insurance company and made me pay the

whole thing up front. (they told me they would bill the insurance but

didn't) I did end up getting every penny back though.

We took Angel Flight one time but decided on driving instead. (The

plane is really small usually, ours was only a four seater). Another

lady in Tampa however flew to Miami everytime using Angel Flight. I

am not crazy about flying so we drive. We have family that we stay

with when we go there so we usually go there on Sunday, spend Sunday

night and have a Monday morning appt. so we only have to take one day

off of work.

The people at CT in Miami are great. I haven't had any trouble AT ALL

with my son's band and he has made great progress. He has been in it

for 5 weeks now and may only have to be in it another 6 weeks. He was

about 6 1/2 months when he got it. Let me know if you have any other

questions.
