Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have a dr appointment on monday to ask for a referral. If my insurance doesn't cover the cost of the helmet, I want to know if anyone has an estimate of what I would pay out of pocket. Does insurance ever cover it?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Our orthotist charged $2200 for the Starband. That price included casting, measurements and all adjustments. Our insurance paid 100% (Keystone East, a BCBS HMO in Pennsylvania). Whether your insurance pays or not depends on the contract that your employer has negotiated. We are lucky. My husband works for a major manufacturing company and so our benefits are pretty good. Each insurance carrier has many different levels of contract options so even if someone else has the same carrier they may have different benefits. (mom to Georgia) What is the cost of a helmet?
