It is hit or miss. It all depends on your policy. UHC didn't cover our doc band. We are working on a appeal to get a reimbursement. Best of luck with UHC, let us know how it goes.

We have UnitedHealthcare too. They are a hit or miss in coverage. You will definetly want to contact them. We decided to pay upfront and try to get reimburssed after. We did that because it would take a month or longer just for the approval process. We wanted to get the band on asap before our son got older. Good luck. I hope they cover some or all of your band.Jenn>> Does anybody have UnitedHealthcare.

I spoke to UnitedHealthcare, and it looks that Cranial Tech is out of network, but Hagar is in the network so if we go to Hagar it is 100% covered if we get approved (of course). Hagar is in NYC (at least it shows that there are locations, I haven't called them to see if they except cases like this or is for something else) so it is really convenient for us. Cranial Tech is in NJ (we do not have a car so it is really a problem to get there, especially as I do not drive). From what I am reading here it looks that CT is better and everybody is happy with it, but there are complains about Hagar. Even if it is not entirely covered and further away I will go to CT if there is even a slight chance that they can do something wrong to my baby. Any thoughts on CT vs. Hagar?

So many of us in the long island nyc area went to CT after some advice and bad experiences with Hanger. I would go to CT no doubt perhaps you can talk to or on this site who both had negative, time wasting experiences at Hanger in Long Island. Tammy
