Re: Have you been happy with Cranial Technologies? CANDICE

[Guest guest]

Hi bosieblake,

I am in dallas and BCBS and my 6 month old baby is going to CT for

band next week. We went there first time when 4 month old. BCBS

denied our case even without asking the clinical because the CT is

out of network. I check the Hanger which in network and it shows they

do the artifical limbs instead of the cranial band mainly. They only

have one person in the clinic could do the band who treat 13 patient

last month. I know CT have much more experience for the cranial band.

I am doing research and preparing the appreal now. We can keep in

touch and I think it will help us to win in the end.

Gook luck to us
