Our insurance, BCBS Personal Choice, covered 100% of the treatment which included all specialists visits, both bands which cost $1750 each and all follow up appointments. > > 5. How much improvement did you see or have you seen from the helmet? I would say that we saw about 85 maybe 90% correction in both of the twins. > > 6.
