RE: [SPAM] Helmet Cost Question

[Guest guest]

Our STARband out of Oakland, CA was $2,800. I have heard

of the bands costing anywhere from $1,500 to $3,300 depending upon the type of

band and where it is made (i.e., a STARband in CA might be more expensive than

one from Ohio because of the higher cost of living). Who do you have for

insurance? With our insurance company (Kaiser) the band was considered to

be Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and the particular plan that we had covered DME

at 80%.

Subject: [sPAM] Helmet Cost Question

Hi all,

I thought of another question about helmets. As I have posted

before, I really do not know if we are to the point of needing a helmet

or not? And I am not totally sure if Kaylie's asymmetry in her face is

from plagio or tort. Her appointment is Tuesday, but me being such a

planner was wondering if we are led in the helmet direction, how much

do they typically cost? I haven't checked with insurance yet to see if

it is covered, but just wondered incase it isn't how much we might pay

for the helmet, adjustments etc.

Thanks alot!

You all have made this so much easier already.
