Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Did you contact a " Cranial Technologies " place or did you email a similar one? We went to the CT in Dallas and the eval was free...you do have to get a script for a band no matter where you go. Where do you live? There is a list on this board of " band friendly " PEDs, but Kaiser is going to be tough b/c I bet you cannot go out of network. Maybe you could get the eval(make sure it goes toward the cost of the band), get measurements and the measurements will warrant a script/medical necessity. Is this something you are definitely going to pay out of pocket or are you still going to try for insurance? Bye, (MaxDOCbanded 2/7) > > HI! So I emailed the DOC people about getting an evauation for my dd. (after getting no where w/ Kaiser) Anyway, they said the Eval was $225. And even after the eval they would need a drs script for the band. I thought I read on here that the evals were free, No? Where was that? Also, does anyone have any helpful tips on where to go to get an unbiased eval with a ped or specialist that wouldn't be so spendy? Do Childrens or Shriners hospitals have a sliding scale or anything. Does anyone know where I might find that kind of finacial help? I want so desparately for my dd to get help - with 4 other kids we just don't have the cash righ now - kwim? > If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great! > > BTW - I'm out o town right now and on another puter so my siggie and stuff is different - But this is Jen and Luli! :-) > > THANKS!!! > > Jen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
