?? about DOC band, also anyone been to Miami office?

[Guest guest]

hi again,

what is the timeline to get first appt, molding, and receive helmet? I

won't be waiting for insurance coverage, I have UHC and they will

deny. Does the initial fee of approximately 3,000 cover all bands

necessary for treatment, or is that for each band?

anyone been to the Miami office? How many techs there? Was it a long

wait to get first appointment? What was your experience? Any info you

would like to share is greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance, Angie

In the case of a DOC band it is $3000 per band. That pays for all

appointments, casting, pictures, adjustments for THAT band. They say

only 12% get a second band and about 3 percent get a third.

Angie,

If you're in the Miami area I'd recommend going to see Dr. Stelnicki (his office is in Hollywood) about getting a STARband. If your insurance doesn't cover it they'll charge you $1750 out of pocket (that includes the band plus the appointments for adjustments). We've had a good experience there so far.Alisonmom to Leila, born 9/25/05 (tort/plagio, STARband 06/5/06)

You can arrange to have your assesment and casting appointment made

for the same day. If you decide not to go ahead with the band after

the assesment then you just don't use the casting appointment. If you

do go ahead with the band then you get casted right after the

assesment. The band will arrive within 14 days.

They can sometimes do eval and casting i nthe same day if it's

preplanned. It takes 7-14 days for the band to come in. They rush

the younger infant's bands.

The $3000 is for each band. You need a new RX if you need subsequent

bands. na wore 2.

I have heard good things about the Miami office, but don't know any

specifics.
