Will some insurances pay for some bands.....

[Guest guest]

but not others? I am pretty sure my insurance..BCBS of TX won't pay

for nay. When I took my DS in for an evaluation at Cranial Tech they

told me then that my insurance wouldn't cover any of it. I followed up

by calling the insurance co as well and she said anything to do with

Plagio they won't cover. Just thought I would ask if there is a chance

that maybe some of you have gotten the band by going to a different

kind? Kim

My insurance would only pay for a passive band from a certain

facility. I wanted active bands as my twins were almost 8 months at

the time. The specialist also wouldn't refer Logan (who's head was

actually worse). My ped wrote a script for him (and for both for the

second bands) that I could take to CT. We paid out of pocket.

Some insurances have starting adding plagio treatment exclusions, it

sounds like that in your case. Have you read your contract to see the

exclusions?

Kim,

There is hope,I was told that hardly any insurance companies pay,

but mine did. I have Blue Cross Blue Sheild Georgia, and they paid

90%, of their allowable charge of $2400.00. I just checked their

website today to see if the claim had been processed yet, and it was

done. I cant eblieve it, I am so excited becasue to me this says that

ththe insuracne companies DO see this as a problem. I would try your

hardest and fight to the end. I was ready to fight and had lots of

articles and literature. Does your son have tort, if so make sure you

have your ped write a letter sating that, I think that helped us

Good Luck and DONT give up !!!!
