Re: Jenna Gets Her Helmet Tomorrow - Appeal?

[Guest guest]

Kay,

Have you had a CT scan? Those can often be very helpful in showing where the

flattening may be affecting vision, jaw alignment, etc. It also assures you

that your child does not have craniosynostosis. It was actually the results

of our CT scan and the write up that our specialist did that convinced the

External Review board that our claim should be paid. As far as the plagio

causing functional impairment - the problem with that is that usually there

is no funcitonal impairment right away - the real problem is the functional

impairments that COULD occur if left untreated and you might take that angle

if you haven't had the CT scan. There are quite a few articles out there that

point to various functional impairments that could occur is the plagio is not

treated.

Good luck and keep up the fight!
