Re: United Healthcare

[Guest guest]

Hi Parusheva (sorry i did not know your first name), I am one of the

moms on this board that had a bad experience with Hanger in Long

Island. My son wore an ill fitting helmet from them from the age of 5-

10mo. before he went into the Doc Band at the age of 14months. Waste

of valuable precious time when he was banded with Hanger. He did get

pretty good correction with the Doc Band but not 100% due to his age

at the time. Where in NY are you located? Which hangar facility did

you plan on using?

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Best of luck 2 you!

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

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.
