Re: Did anyone have trouble getting United Healthcare to pay for the DOC Band?

[Guest guest]

I haven't heard that if it is on the side of the head that it is

more of a medical condition. I wonder if that has to do with ears

and eyes possibly being off where with brachy everything is

symettrical (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). Our ped. nor CT

ever said anything to that affect.
