Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hi Becky! You really need to get an Rx, then go to the specialist. I was referred to Hanger for my son's helmet and they told me right from the beginning that their are charity groups that help to pay for the helmets for low income families. Fortunately my insurance covered his. I go back for my son's helmet next Thursday, I will get the names of the charity groups and get them to you. We live in Kansas City, but I'm sure that there are natiowide groups out there to help you. , Mom of Hunter, Hannah and Chase > > > Well we went to the neurologist in Louisville and he gave Sierra a > >Rx > > > for a COPC helmet over in New Albany, IN.
