HUGE Insurance News-BCBS Settles Helmet Lawsuit--MUST Read!!!

[Guest guest]

Great news in the world of getting insurance coverage for cranial

helmets--Blue Cross of Illinios settled a lawsuit filed by the state's

attorney's office. They will have to pay all subscribers back who

paid out of pocket for FDA approved helmets AND they will be required

to offer the benefit in the future. This is a huge step and will

hopefull set precedent for other insurance companies. This is a must

read for everyone! Here is the link:

Wow this is huge!! I think we should add the article to the insurance links and files (get it copied before they archive it). I believe it would be very valuable to include in all appeals. I'll add it to the insruance 1st steps file.

That is wonderful!!!! However, I just think it is so weird that BCBS of KY

covered Ellie's helmet at 90% with no questions asked. It is strange how

basically the same company will cover it in one state but not the next.

There should be some type of reform, I think.

Anyway, that is great news for all the Illnois kiddos!

Wow this is great news!!!! Maybe the insurance companies wil get on

the doctors to educate mommies when the babies are born. Oh, how I

wish someone had just said to me to make sure she is sleeping on both

sides, the tort would have been picked up so much sooner. Debbie and

This is great news! We have BCBS out of MN, and they are going to

cover 80% after we meet our deductable. We would end up paying almost

$1000 out of pocket, which is better than the whole $2200. We are

getting medical assistance though, to go along with our BCBS, so that

will cover the deductible and the 20%, so I am happy about that!

Thanks for adding the article ! I agree that it should be

very valuable in appeals.
