Hi Tomoko and Sherry,

I am curious, too, about E/I paying for

the helmets. We are in the process of getting signed up with them.

I’m hoping they will do some PT with Sophie during her helmet

therapy. Please let me know the basics, as we are new to E/I.

Actually, ours is called the Infant Toddler program. Is that the same

thing?

Thanks!

Tomoko that's great she's had

her band for a month! Chase is

reaching a month soon - this upcoming week -

Tuesday. This group is

great you're right. I could not have survived

without it.

I wrote you an email about the EI as I have many

questions about the

helmet reimbursement and PT and OT. Lots of

troubles. I haven't been

lucky with it yet but it's getting better.

Wow, thanks, Sherry. Great

information. We have not had our evaluation yet, as we are just getting

signed up. It does, however, sound very similar with the under 3 years

old meeting developmental milestones of various types. I believe ours if

free, too. Yippee!! Since it is a government program, I’m

sure they are back logged and under staffed. Time will tell, but of

course, sooner is better!!!

I’m not sure if Sophie has tort or

not. She definitely prefers the left side, but can look to the

right. Sometimes she “cheats” to look way right and arches

her back. We’ll have to see what they say.

And, I am DEFINITELY going to ask about

reimbursement from E/I as we have United Healthcare. I read their

policy and it sounds like we will be denied. But, we’ll give it our

best shot!

God has just been so faithful in all of

this. He certainly put the pieces together for her to get

treatment. And I’m so thankful for a close orthotist, supportive family

and friends, and this GREAT group. It is so nice to not be alone in

this!!!

Thanks again!

I'm not sure if it's

the same it sounds like it is. Every

state has a different name it seems. In NY it's

called early

intervention and by law the state/city is required

to provide

services that a child under 3 years of age needs

so that the child

does not fall behind, basically, with milestones

of if there is any

delays help them catch up. I'm not sure if

your baby has

torticollis. If so it generally requires PT or OT

to resolve it and

early intervention programs would definitely help

out with that. The

good thing is in NY it is free. I think some other

states too free or

low cost. Just be sure you get started right

away as it's slow to

start up to 2 months in most places. Also when

they do the evaluation

make sure you point out every little problem

Sophia has so that

she'll be sure to get as many services

possible. I've learned the

hard way that you kind of have to fight for

things.

In NY we have a service coordinator from an agency

and an agency for

services (therapy etc.) these may not necessiarly

be the same

agency. I have had trouble finding a

good service coordinator (the

person who is supposed to handle everything for

you, all the leg work

and answer any questions). So if you're not

happy change right away

because all changes take time. But you can change

the therapists and

service coordinators and agencies. I'd suggest if

you have any

troubles change! I learned that the hard way

too. And feel free to

ask to speak to supervisors if someone is not

being efficent. A

service coordinator here in NY told me someone

reported her to

Bloomberg (our Mayor) ha ha. So you do have alot

of rights as the

parent of a child with needs.

Regrading the payment/reimbursement for the

helmet/band I was told

when I started with early intervention that they

may possibly pay for

it but I'm in the very beginning stages of doing

that. I lost 6

weeks waiting for insurance apporval and started

to pay myself

because we were losing too much time. So I'm doing

an appeal and

trying early intervention. But I think it is

a possibility they will

pay ask your service coordinator right away about

it. In the meantime

you can get an invoice for the helmet so you'll

have it ready to

submit.

There are alot of services available it's just a

matter of getting

good people and everything your baby

deserves.

Good luck!

What is EI I am from Oklahoma and my son is in his second helmet. We have sent the claim forms into BCBS of OK and was denied. We have not started the appeals yet, but I was wondering if we might could look into EI in this area. Regardless, my sons helmets were the best decisions we have ever made even if we don't get reimbursed for a penny. It has changed his life and we will ever be greatful to Cranial Tech for what they have done for him.

Thank you. They are saying Will’s

check into it, though.

Thanks to everyone for their

It is Early

Intervention and every state seems to call it

something else. Possibly someone in Kentucky may know what it's

called there. But in NY is seems there

is a possibility they may

pay for the helmet/band. I'll let everyone

know if I'm sucessful!

Generally Early Intervention is a free service for

any baby/toddler

with developmental issues. And usually with

plagio. torticollis is

involved and needs pretty aggressive PT or OT or

both until the baby

is walking. I think some have it resovled

before then though. So

they, EI assists with anything necessary to make

sure the child is

developing " normally " . It includes

transportation, equipment and

therapy and I'm other things that I'm not aware of

yet.

Thank you. They are saying Will’s

is strictly cosmetic, so I’m sure they wouldn’t cover it. I will

check into it, though.

Thanks to everyone for their

information.

It is Early

Intervention and every state seems to call it

something else. Possibly someone in Kentucky may know what it's

called there. But in NY is seems there

is a possibility they may

pay for the helmet/band. I'll let everyone

know if I'm sucessful!

Generally Early Intervention is a free service for

any baby/toddler

with developmental issues. And usually with

plagio. torticollis is

involved and needs pretty aggressive PT or OT or

both until the baby

is walking. I think some have it resovled

before then though. So

they, EI assists with anything necessary to make

sure the child is

developing " normally " . It includes

transportation, equipment and

therapy and I'm other things that I'm not aware of

yet.

No, he doesn’t have torticollis.

He just favored his left side when he slept. He is a big sleeper – he has

slept 11 -12 hours at night since he was 10 weeks old. I tried to keep his

head turned and also tried to use a wedge, but he just wouldn’t

cooperate. I’ll check into EI. Thank you so much for this information –

there is just so much to go thru!

there's no such thing

as it being strictly cosmetic. I know

there is a lot of info. on that in the insurance

appeals section.

You should look there to work on an appeal. But

early intervention is

completely seperate from the insurance companies.

And as far as I

know the process is different. Here though you

have to be eligible

for services when he gets the helmet/band to get

it reimbursed/paid

for. So you should call your Early

Intervention as soon as possible.

Does your son have torticollis? and does he have

physical therapy or

occupational therapy?

No, they haven’t check for it

specifically. Was the pediatrician the one who found this in your son? He

doesn’t really do it now like he used to. I will ask them, though. We

go to the orthotist on Monday, I’ll see what he says.

My son was the same way

and his tort. was never obvious but he

does have it. He always liked to look one

way, sleep one way and it

was tort. I'd never know it was a muscle issue

until the doctor told

me. I thought he just liked watching TV (ha ha)

and had a favorite

spot to sleep on like we all do. I since learned

that babies should

not favor one side until 2-3 yrs. old. Has your

doctor checked for it

specifically becuase about 90% or so with plagio.

have tort. A lot of

people have a hard time getting the proper

diagnosis. I'm not a

doctor but if he's favoring a side there may be a

reason. And I've

heard that when they favor a side they could

develop tort. and the

plagio adds to the problem if they don't have the

tort. first. So he

may still need a little help with keeping

in our case it was the
