New Here and need advice on fighting insurance.

[Guest guest]

Hello to all. My twins are almost 6 months old and like many were

denied by the insurance to cover the helmets. My husband is in the

Army and it is so discouraging that he can serve our country yet my

children are not being taken care of. I know there are probably many

of you who have experienced this situation. Any advice would be

wonderful when attacking this head on.

I don't know who the military provider is, but we were able to successfully get United Health Care (UHC) to reimburse 80% of the helmet... in fact, we just got our check this week. Yay! We only submitted the claim once, but it was approved right away. I think it helped that we had a ton of paperwork and info. from the Plastic Surgeon that we submitted with the claim forms.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with your specific insurance (is it

Tricare?). I haven't heard any success stories with the military as

far as getting the insurance coverage for the helmets. But I have

heard of grants that the armed services can provide and other plagio

moms have had success there. Check out our links section for all the

websites:

Hopefully you'll have luck there. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Good luck!
