Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Sherri, The DOC Band is only offered through CT clinics and a few independent clinics that have to go through training with the bands. The pricing is pretty uniform with DOC Bands through out the country. You can check out the in network providers with your insurance. Just interview them thoroughly and ask for before after pictures and references. With our youngest we got out of network coverage. Maybe I should be grateful that we got anything, but we are appealing to get full coverage. We don't have any good options other than the DOC Band here where I live so I didn't think it is fair for my child to sacrifice the level of care just to go with an in network provider and save the insurance company money.
