Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My son did not require a cat scan at all prior to banding. We noticed the plagio, went to a neurologist for a script. On to Cranial Tech for a banding appointment and we had our band. Why the cat scan at all, it sounds weird to me. Not many others have mentioned this if any that I can recall. Good luck but check if that is necessary.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well My son didnt need a scan but we went last friday to get his banding done but with cranial tech they arent doing castings anymore they do 3-d images so u get lots of pictures taken. Then on the 4th we get his band so it only takes 2 weeks. > From: Misty Rushing <rushingfamily3@...> > Subject: How long does it take after your appt. > Plagiocephaly > Date: Friday, March 28, 2008, 5:00 AM > > ok my 6 month daughter went in for her appt. last friday, and there > getting her an appt at lebonhur in memphis tennessee for her cat scan > and casting. she said my insurace will not approve the first time she > tries, but she will get it approved the next time, i just want to know > a time line. so please tell me how long will all this take, to get in, > do they do the cat scan the same day as casting i mean please esase my > mind. thank yall > > misty rushing > a Rushing > 6 months old > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don't quite understand your whole insurance situation, we didn't have to deal with a CT scan or preapproval or denial before banding. But from the time she's casted, it should take about a week to 2 weeks to get the band back and fitted. It should not take longer than 2 weeks, because babies grow so fast and the band might not fit right if it takes longer than that. What kind of band is she getting? Is the the CT scan and casting at the same place? I'm just not sure what to tell you, it's a little confusing to me. My son did have CT scan to rule out cranio, but that was when he was 4 months old, a year before he got his band, and it wasn't required for the banding or for insurance purposes. And the scan was done at a hospital, where as his casting was done at the banding facility. So I'm not really sure about your situation. But hopefully I answered part of your question about how long after the casting. Will the band provider file your claim for you? Or do you have to file it yourself? I had to file my own claim, and it took less than a month to hear back from them and get the check for reimbursement (we had to pay up front). Good luck next week!
