[Guest guest]

Dear Ivonne,

Thanks for the support and info. OPA is Orthotic and Prosthetic

Associates they supply the DOC bands for Cranial Technologies..what

I don't know is how much of their training is based on Cranial

Technology criteria....I think I will probably give them a call and

have them explain to me how they are certified and how they are

affliated with Cranial Technologies...they are the only supplier of

Doc bands in Houston... I'll keep everyone updated on our

progess..so far I still haven't heard anything from UHC...what are

they waiting for ...
