We also have Kaiser - not sure which one - it is thru my husbands employer. They had the DME added so our band was covered 80%.

Call your DME office (get the # from member services?) We spoke with them before getting the band... they verified how much would be covered and mailed us a letter. We took that to Hanger.

HTH!

Re: New to Group and questions

Thanks for the reply! It seemed like everyone here knew their

measurements, so I was worried when I wasn't given mine without

calling. In regards to his head shape, I am most concerned about his

forehead bulge and ear asymmetry. I notice it a lot, but all of our

family says they don't see anything!!

Is the DOC band helpful in correcting mild - moderate cases?

Our insurance is Kaiser Flexible Choice. We are allowed to go out of

network. I was told by the CT insurance specialist that they do

participate with Kaiser, but not with my plan (this is disturbing to

me since I have one of the most expensive Kaiser plans). She told me

I would have to file a claim on my own, they would deny it, and then

I would have to appeal it.
